    My favorite European country. First time i visited by myself, but I liked it so much that I brought my family and visited again. The people had been through a lot of ups and downs over the centuries, but they are always so resilient. I have a lot of admiration and respect toward Poland, because as a Taiwanese, I think a lot of us can resonate with enduring hardships and prospering through difficulties.

    The Polish eagle has a crown on the coat of arms, the non-crown version is from the polish peoples republic and it was a symbol of russian influence over Poland. Please note that. (I am talking about the beggining of the video). Also, the police in polish peoples republic (22:42) was called ,,milicja,, not policja. Policja is the recent one :) A Pole was in space too.

  • @piotrzwirowski8435
    @piotrzwirowski8435 27 днів тому +24

    I think the reason Jadwiga was crowned King may be that in Poland the term for a Queen (PL: Królowa) is derived from the word for King (PL: Król) by addition of the suffix "-owa", which usually is used to make a term to address the wife of someone; e.g a General's (PL: Generał) wife in polish would be a concatenation of "Generał", and "owa" (PL: Generałowa), or the wife of a man with the surname "Fox" (PL: Lis) would analogically be "Lis"+"owa" (Lisowa), therefore the term "Królowa" was probably at first used to refer to the wife of a king, rather than a female monarch. Given that it was her, who was to rule, and not her husband, once she got one, she was crowned a King, and not a Queen.

    Poland is called Lenkija in Lithuanian, meaning people of fields. but it's also closer to Lech's name as well I guess.
    We have actually other unique names for countries like Germany being called Vokietija, which is still not clear how it originated.
    Also could you explain how we ruled ruthenia from Livonia, as Livonia is modern day territory and country of Latvia, Lithuania was ruled from Kernave and Trakai until Vilnius was established by King Mindaugas
    As well for the Commonwealth it was not a single entity as the union of Mielnik was never adopted and that was a very important distinction that was passed by Alexander Jagielio enshiring our seperation and rights as an equal partner in our joint republic as well its right to issue it's own lawns and rule, it's actual name was Reczpospolita Obojga Narodow or Abieju Tautu Respublika otherwise reffered as ATR (modern Lithuanian name for it) meaning "Republic of Both Nations". It had seperate armies, treasuries, laws and rights (Lithuania had adopted the Statutes of Lithuania in 1529, 1566, and 1588 giving rights and responsibilities to both nobles and the common people). i love your videos and been following for many years, but I am not sure how you made these statements without confirming and crosschecking sources. Late into demise you could say it became closer to a single entity but that was when foreign powers had more sway on internal politics of our countries.
    It's incredibly sad to see that our countries history is so readily ignored as a footnote by what I can only assume is lazy research in this case, not just by you but by general historical sentiment in the western educational system, as the history of the both countries strife and achievement, rivarly and cooperation, betrayal and unity amongst ourselves is an incredible story, it's a shame it barely ever comes to the surface due to convenience to skip over any depth. You cannot tell the story of the commonwealth without looking at both sides. It's like looking at Austria-Hungary and pretending Hungarians just appeared after ww1.
    And lastly Liberum veto was not complicated, it was incredibly straigforward and due to that incredibly abusable. If 1 person called liberum veto on a vote it would have to be scrapped, meaning you need to bribe 1 noble to tie up the hands of the whole parlament. The complicated part was the actual elective monarchy and parlament as the king would call session (usually to ask for raising taxes for money for some personal war) or could choose to just never call a session leaving him to semi absolutist rule, as years passed each elected monarch had to sign ever more decentralizing "contracts" with the nobility to be elected which in time left the position more ceremonial than executive, asides that right to call parlament.

    First of all, it's a pity you completely skipped the rozbicie dzielnicowe part of Polish history (regionalization or fragmentation of Poland) in the 12th and 14th century. It's a very interesting period but very complicated.
    About King Jadwiga, she was named King because the nobility wanted a ruler who would live in Poland and would not be dependent on anyone, and "Królowa" or "Królewna" (translated as 'Queen') meant a king's wife. Btw, according to some reliable sources, she loved the Habsburg prince and really despised the barbarian Jagiello.
    I think it should be also emphasized that Poland's decline and subsequent partitions in the 17-18th century were because of Polish nobility. In short, Polish nobility made this law that every new reform in order to be effective should meet everyone's consent - demokracja szlachecka. At this point, Polish kings had very little to say as opposed to the Western European absolute monarchies. Polish neighbors took advantage of her and simply bribed Polish nobility to veto all significant reforms what in turn caused political and economical stalemate. When the last Polish king finally made reforms and the constitution was signed (the 2nd constition in the history of the world - the 1st was drafted by the Americans after the revolutionary war) it was already too late.
    After WWI when Poland finally regained independence she had ambitions to become once again the regional power, but, to be honest, the country was very weak after over one hundred years of being partitioned and exploited by its neighbors. It was a miracle when Poland stopped the Red Army at the battle of Warsaw, huge victory. But then Poland was completely not ready for WW2, yet it stood and fought. This is a very sad part of our history, WW2 is covered thoroughly in history classes. Polish people still remember what the Germans and Russians did during WW2. It's very hard to forget and to forgive.
    I remember I read somewhere but I don't know if that's true, but after WW2 Polish general Witold Urbanowicz, who fought in the Battle of Britain, said: "You (the British) won the war, we (the Polish) lost." It sums up giving up Poland and the Eastern Europe to Stalin. Thanks, the Allies.

    6:27 'the Prussian faith would later be inherited by the Duke from Brandenburg.' what is meant with _Prussian faith_ ? nitpicking here: Brandenburg wasn't a dukedom. the elector of Brandenburg was the head of a margraviate.

      Its my terrible audio from 5 years ago and my equally terrible pronunciation of the word 'fief'. You're also right that the head of Brandenburg was a Margrave not a Duke, but they gained the title when they inherited Prussia. It wasn't overly clear in my script unfortunately

    • @embreis2257
      @embreis2257 27 днів тому

      @@Suibhne oh, that explains the strange accent for an 'Australian'. regarding the 'dukedom': the ruler of Brandenburg inherited the dukedom of Prussia and became duke of Prussia but not duke of Brandenburg. Brandenburg remained a margraviate with a vote to elect the emperor until the abolition of the HRE in 1806. by then, the ruler of Brandenburg-Prussia (unofficially) had made themself into king *in* Prussia by 1701 (well, he signed a 'Crown Treaty' with the emperor). when Frederick II annexed the rest of royal Prussia in the 1st partition of Poland he adopted the title king *of* Prussia in 1772. regardless of all the king titles, the head of Hohenzollern and king in/of Prussia remained the margrave of Brandenburg. Brandenburg never turned into a dukedom.

      Yes, and it was denied by Roosevelt because he was fooled by Stalin and his puppets in US goverment, plus it would be a hard sell to make americans and brits go to war against someone they called "allies" just before. Not because of nukes.

      Soviets break agreements made with Allies during WW2. As such there risk of continuation of war.
