Kaunas was a very relaxed city and since we weren't heading to Vilnius I had to go out and tell the story of Lithuania. Keep in mind that it's a lot of history to cram in 10 minutes so nothing complex (Central/East European Baltic history is pretty crazy). If you would like to add to the story then please do so, cheers.
Kaunas is quite ok, especially the picturesque confluence of the Nemunas and the Neris at the foot of the castle. Greetings from Poland! Kowno jest całkiem ok. Szczególnie malowniczy zbieg Niemna i Wilii u podnóża zamku. Pozdrowienia z Polski!
I have no idea what you mean by the title. For me, Lithuanians are like brothers right now. It never looked any other way. Just like Czech, Slavic, Ukrainian, and other Polish neighbors.
That knight on the horse is seen also on the emblem of Białystok, vytautas (in Polish Witold) was a cousin (not brother) of Jagiełło, a lithuanian Duke WHO became a Polish King and set a Jagiellonian dynasty (btw, Jagiellonia is a name of Białystok footballu team), on 15th Jul 1410 Jagiełło with the poles and Witold with lithuanians won the massive battle of Grunwald against the teutonic order. About kaunas i was once there by train, IT stroke me massive buildings, bridges, a huge river and at the same time really small railway station.
One of the greatest kings of Poland was a Lithuanian and it was Władysław II Jagiełło. We, Poles, have obligations to Lithuania, especially to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Prince Witold. Polish historical memory is very long. If necessary, we will defend Lithuania to the last man.
@@aleksanderkorecki7887 Lithuania is a tiny country and you need to understand their phobias. Remember that they were under Russian occupation for a long time, and this leaves traces.
@@aleksanderkorecki7887 why do you think that? Personally, I have huge respect for Poland people, your hospitality and support (both military and humanitarian) for Ukrainian people is heroic. And I wish you to become the top military and economic power in EU, it would be much safer. Greetings from Lithuania.
@@iPedroMota well, there is no place like home ,so hopefully one day I can return. But if you are just working a regular low level job then it can be quite hard to have a comfortable life there . A common expression that I have heard from Lithuanians is "nesisuksi , negyvensi" which basically translates to " if you wont hustle you wont live" .It doesn't really make sense to go back unless you plan to start some kind of business to provide you with decent income . For example in Ireland where I live now most regular jobs will pay in a week what a similar job in Lithuania would pay in a month... Hopefully Ill get my big business idea some time soon 😅 Enjoy your time there, the country has some beautiful nature spots in the countryside you should definitely visit , be prepared for some rough gravel roads though 😂
6:54 The flag is absolutely cool and, as some commented already, this knight traditionally appears on emblems of many places in the region. It is called a 'Pursuit' in English and 'Vytis' in Lithuanian. The name of the Grand Duke was 'Vytautas'. It's is easy to get lost in these fairy-tale names ;) And the Grand Duke who became also Polish king was 'Jogaila' (pronounced 'Yogalia') from the House of Gediminids. Another super cool name!
The so-called Commentweath was a kind of EU at that time. Lithuania, current Belarus, Ukraine and Poland were united by the person of the king. There were some differences in terms of army, and finance but the cooperation was pretty close. Who knows. European Union might evolve in this direction.
at current EU beginning countries have studied PL-LT Commonwealth history to see will it’s going to work. no wonder why PL AND LT is Central europe Greetings to Poland UK LT
But not so bad under the Germans during WW2? Nazi collaboration among all the nations the Nazis occupied during WW2 participated in the Holocaust and the removal of non-Jews such as teachers, intellectuals and others to Nazi labor camps and worse. Lithuania has yet to acknowledge its complicity with the Holocaust. Nearly 95 percent of Lithuania’s 250,000 Jews were killed during the conflict. In the Netherlands hundreds of thousands of Dutch Nazi collaborators were prosecuted for collaboration or treason and 127 of these were sentenced to death but only 16 were executed. Of course there were those who risked their lives as partisans and others who saved many from Nazi ideology and insanity. If we're going to give history lessons lets make sure its a full accounting not just some dribble written by aristocrats.
As the French would say in 1842: "...histoire est juste peut-être, mais qu’on ne l’oublie pas, elle a été écrite par les vainqueurs", in English, "...history is right perhaps, but let us not forget, it was written by the victors”).
@@bcinspectorman Lmao. Did you just blame a country for things which were done by another country? Lithuania was occupied by Germany as you wrote, therefore - they could not do anything to oppose them on mass scale because they were *occupied*. Not mentioning that Vilnius(I may be wrong with the city) was called the second Jerusalem by jews before ww2. Jews came to live on bigger scale in Lithuania during middle ages, when The Grand Duch of Lithuania wrote letter to people in Europe to come work there(he stated that religion, sex etc... Did not matter and everyone was accepted to come). We were occupied by both devils(I am not religious just in case), but to us - the soviets were a lot worse(not mentioning post ww2) and so a part of partizans helped them fight against soviets which occupied them before. There were all kinds of partizans - communists(soviets were that bad that even they joined), democrats, monarchists, fashists....But they all united to fight against common enemy - USSRS. So as you can see - they had to choose a side and fight or just vanish and die without a single fucking russian dying. Long story short - learn basic history about the country you're gonna write shit about. P.S No one wrote that Lithuanians liked to be occupied by Germans nor it was good to live under their rule
Or an argument against so called European nationalism, with all the conquering and occupation of each other lands there must be a great diversity of human DNA in each of the so called countries in Europe.
@@bcinspectorman A: Conquests were not an exclusively European phenomenon.Without them, non of the empires in history would have existed. B: The Human Genome project, which finished in the early noughties, showed that the genetic diversity across all human populations was surprisingly small. In fact, a peer from somebody's region could have a smaller genetic similarity to him than a human from the far side of the world. In short, genetics are bugger all of a subject here.
You need to come one day to Vilnius as people who live in Vilnius here in Lithuania are called portuguese, nobody knows why, but Vilnius residents have such a nick name:) And yes this red flag with “Vytis” is official our historical flag and is widely used in countru, three color flag is oficial for international events and geography books:) Good luck dude.
A short history lesson. Yes, Europe is a complicated region with constant change. A/no reason for sausade, depending on your character. Thanks, Günter from Nürnberg (once Germany's largest city together with Cologne)
I've been watching your vids for a couple years, but finally decided to subscribe! I have a small channel where I do my rides in pickup vans, cars, and in the near future sailplanes. Hence my channel's name. I got inspired watching your videos. I would like to ride motorcycles like you do, specially with these high gas prices. But need to figure out how am I gonna load an old school 35mm motion cinema film camera, alongside my digital gear (gopro+digital cameras), plug camping stuff on the small real state motorcycles have. Any ideas? Anyway, enjoying your vids as always.
Did you know the Polish winged Hussars cavalry from the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth was the strongest in Europe and in the world. They won most of the battles they fought, even when outnumbered by the enemy. Their nickname was the 'angels of death' because of the angel wings on their backs.
They're very well depicted in one or few Mount And Blade historic mods. Finding such historic accurate facts in games can make more young people to find out about their history. I'm 100% for such way of teaching (well, one of), because, really, who likes read a boring history fact book.
Of course, more famous than pierogi. Saving Europe from the Ottomans, one of the best if not the best cavalry units in history. Funny you mention it because a few days ago we watched this movie ua-cam.com/video/ZNuNGxHjAIg/v-deo.html
As always Pedro, very good video. Unfortunately, I have noticed the loss of viewers. Not only your channel. And I can't remember it being like this latest summer's.... Is it a known phenomenon? Where did they all go? For a ride? I'm on a long ride but still want to watch Pedro on his Atlas ❤️ There is something in common, MotoGP at Sillystone had 40k visitors. About 100k less then usual.... MotoGP is not for free but still! The new generation of motorcyclists is cancelled? Or just too comfortable with the latte? 😕 Until we figure this out, I really hope we can watch your rides Pedro 👍🏻❤️👍🏻
UA-cam's use of commercial advertising within each channel's episodes may be one reason. When they started injected commercial advertising within the content it was brief, 5 seconds, but now it can be much longer, two ads both 15 seconds long at one 'break' and a few more 5 second ones. Those who create channel content are used by UA-cam (Google) to amass huge profits from their work. Then there are viewers whose attention spans get less and less with each new social media platform like Tik Tok.
Massive game, the hours I put into that in my lifetime I don't wish that upon anyone else. First game where i actually read the pdf instruction manual. It was EU2 off one of those Twilight bootleg dvd's so it must have been a vanilla version. Brutally hard to make money, colonization was a lump sump per effort and would often fail. Big learning curve, game mechanics you were unfamiliar with could break your game halfway. Big rewards gamewise though and if my kid would have to waste hours gaming then better on a game like that.
Nice bit of history, also liked the castle. And I'm beginning to suspect those armies of elec-steps are a secret conspiracy to make the population fat and unhealty XD
6:10 she is wrong, a lot of people make this mistake, as flag is now named Vytis, with is short for Vytautas, but Vytis is a word in its own. Vytis or how back then it was called Vėliava is older then Great Duke Vytautas, he also wasn't a king, king needs to be Christian, but Vytautas adopted christianity only later in life, but was not crowned. Now a little about Vėliava/Vytis, its pagon symbol, warriors carried it to battle to call Velnias(Devil, god of justice) to invite Vėlės(Souls of dead, usually soldiers in this case), then Velnias and Vėlės would morph in to white knight "Vėliava"(God of war) usually Vėliava is depicted on a horse, but there are cases when its drawn without it. So maybe that's how Lithuanians were able to beat 3x bigger armies as even if you kill them they still fight :) Also Lithuania has 2 official flags, national flag 3 colors and state flag Vytis, both basically carry same weight by law, example if you go to sport event where only official flag of a country can be carried, you could take Vytis and it would be fine. Its sneaky way to have 2 flags.
Let me help you a little bit my friend. Pedro is half Potugees and half of a Dutchy. Something you don't do to a Portugees and absolutly not to a Dutchy is tell him he has TO DO something. Uh hu.... thats a big no no. Maybe nex time you can ask him friendly. Succes Anomaly, have a nice evening.
In 1919 Lithuanian Bolshevik nationalists, gamed and remained in power to this day, on anti-polish sentiment. Didn't you find strange that there was no single sign in Polish language? They went so far that they made use of the Polish first and last names illegal in Lithuania. Forgot, Polish minority is the largest minority in Lithuania.
@@vaidasspu It isn't over yet. The Issue was referred to the constitutional court of Lithuania, because by allowing Polish names: "huge damage has been done to the Lithuanian statehood and territorial integrity of Lithuania". Haw, very Lithuanian it is. LMAO.
Lithuania is so much better that it has the greatest population decline in the world which already is a tiny country with barely 2,7 mln of inhabitants.
@@pattynellis7347 Naah, Lithuania was a part of Soviet Union for decades so this country located on peripheries of Europe, did not really have a chance to get wealthy 😞 Even worse, a few years ago, Lithuania accepted Euro as its national currency which negatively affected standard of living regular Lithuanians. So when you go to any of supermarkets in neighboring Poland, you will see thousands of Lithuanians doing their shopping there because they can save a few Euros there. But I am sure that there are some classy people living in Lithuania, even though I don't know your definition of "classy". Please pass this message to your grandma and greetings when you get the chance. Cheers!
@Julia Poland Before WW II, ethnic Lithuanians were mostly peasants since Lithuanian elite got polonized through ages of being part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. When you go to Vilnius, and visit old churches, inscriptions there are in Latin or Polish, there is nothing there in Lithuanian unless we talk about XX/XXI centaury. You have to also remember that during WW II , Lithuanians were Nazi collaborators so they were not "classy" during this period.
