    This should have been mentioned in the video that despite this defeat the Polish Empire won this war in 1466 and through this victory made the Teutonic Order a Polish vassal. The Polish Empire also won the wars of 1409-1411 and 1431-1435 ,against the Teutonic Order but none of the victories was the final defeat of the Teutonic Order because the decisive defeat against Poland for the Teutonic Order was then the Thirteen Years' War (1454-1466) in which the Teutonic Order became part of the dominion of the Polish Empire.
    Regarding the Teutonic Order, this is also worth mentioning: It's a historical fact that first the Teutonic Order exterminated the Baltic old Prussians and then tried the same thing with the Baltic and Slavic Ruthenian population of Grand Duchy of Lithuania. So the Teutonic Order also attempted genocides against the population of the Lithuanian territories, which consisted of Slavic Ruthenians and Balts. For two centuries, the German knights waged a war against the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. They made more than 300 "Reisen" (Journeys) to the slavic Ruthenian and Baltic lands of Grand Duchy of Lithuania. So-called journey raids were genocidal sacking, looting, and pillaging with massacres of the civilian population. These journey raids were also used for slave hunting and cattle were also robbed! It was precisely around that time that through these raids the entire swath of land became a scarcely-inhabited territory. These journey raids mostly took place in winter, because the horses with the heavily armored knights made much better progress in the swampy areas in winter. Always in winter, when the ground was frozen and the German knights could easily ride in the swampy areas, there were veritable extermination campaigns. So, for the population of the areas of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, winter was the season of massacres. Almost 300 winter journey raids to lands of Grand Duchy of Lithuania can be verified between 1305 and 1409 using sources. So it is not surprising that in the Nazi era in the 30's and 40's this genocidal behavior of the Order was a role model. Because of this permanent Teutonic aggression Lithuania was ready for a union with Poland that was very unfavorable for Lithuania because this union made it possible for Poland to take over Lithuania. And so Poland and Lithuania were in the personal union in 1385 which was actually the foundation of the new arised Polish Empire! With this union of Krewo became the Grand Duke of Lithuania Jogaila Polish king and in the process he was Polonized and therefore also called himself in Polish Władysław II Jagiełło and also lived in the Polish capital. With that union with Poland, Lithuania officially became Christian and the Polonization of Lithuania, which had begun long before with the Polish Christianization campaign of Lithuania, was continued! The Teutonic Oder, in its megalomania, then also attacked Poland which was already equally strong before but became a superior empire through its union with Lithuania. Also Teutonic aggression against Lithuanian territories did not stop. The megalomaniacal Teutonic Order was not aware that Poland had become an empire thanks to the additional Lithuanian forces/territories and therefore dared to go to war against Poland. With reinforcements from Lithuanian troops, Poland was able to build a stronger army and defeat the Teutonic Order at the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. By the way, the order was not defeated after the great battle of 1410, what many believe, when the order was defeated under the leadership of the Polish king. Poland had to win various other battles before the order became a vassal of the Polish Empire. So the decisive wars of the Polish Empire against the Teutonic Order were the wars of 1431-1435 and 1454-1466 in which the Order was finally defeated. In these wars the Polish Empire was supported not only by Lithuanian auxiliary troops but also by auxiliary troops of vassals such as the Duchy of Stolp, Prussian Confederation and Principality of Moldavia whereby mercenary were also used like Hussite mercenaries. In any case, the Polish Empire also won battles against the Teutonic Order without any support from auxiliary troops, such as the Battle of Świecino in 1462. At least, the wars against the Teutonic Order ended with the order becoming a vassal of the Polish Empire. This also had the consequence that the Lithuanian areas of the Polish Empire were finally safe from raids by the Order. And further genocides by these Barbarians were prevented by the victory of the newly established Polish Empire.

      Bud, it's the Kingdom of Poland, not the Polish Empire. Poland never had an empire. Small detail perhaps, but a crucial one nonetheless.

    • @GreatPolishWingedHussars

      ​@@khronostheavenger8923 It is a historical fact that Poland was an empire! Poland became an empire in the 14th century by taking over Lithuania with the Union of Krewo in 1385. So Poland was already an empire in the 14th century. For 100 years in the 15th century Poland was the only empire in Europe. According to the usual definition is an Empire a very large in terms of area multi-ethnic state with political and military dominion of one ethnic group. According to this definition was Poland an empire in the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th centuries! This already proves the enormous size of the territory compared to other European countries in these times that the Polish king and the Polish parliament ruled. The Poles were also the political and military dominant ethnic group of this Empire. The Poles ruled over various peoples and there were 9 different religions in the empire. (Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Eastern Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic Orthodox, Jews, Russian Old Believers and Mennonites.) So it was a Polish empire, because the Poles were the nation in power. The Poles ruled the other peoples and partially assimilated them. Only one nation was relevant in this empire and that was the Poles. When talking about the Danish Empire, Ghana Empire, Malian Empire, Bulgarian Empire and Belgian Empire Poland should be called an empire too. The first greatest expansion of power of the Polish empire during this period stretched from the Baltic Sea to Black Seas and even a short time to the Mediterranean. In the second greatest expansion of power of the Polish empire, Poland also ruled Russia and the son of the Polish king was tsar of Russia. The Poles determined the fate of this Polish empire because the Poles were the political and military dominant ethnic group of this Empire.

    One of the most important battles of the Thirteen Years' War. Unfortunately, due to the nobility's reluctance to fight, we didn't do well at the beginning. Later in the war, both sides relied primarily on mercenaries

      If this had been an important battle of the Thirteen Years' War, Poland would not have won this war in which this battle took place. Because the Polish Empire won this war in 1466 and through this victory made the Teutonic Order a Polish vassal.

      @@ELRRR That's not quite right! In fact, the Teutonic Order used significantly more mercenaries than the Polish Empire. The Polish king mostly recruited troops for this war with "pospolite ruszenie". This Polish term "pospolite ruszenie" can be translated as "mass mobilization" but also the term „levée en masse" is also used for that as a designation. That was the wartime mobilisation of all or a specific part of able-bodied male population of the state into armed forces. So the main part of the Polish army of that period was conscripted. Therefore, in this war there was more often a levée en masse for troop mobilization by the Polish king. So these weren't professional soldiers, they were actually militia troops. The problem was that there were very good fighters in these militias, but also bad and undisciplined fighters. That varied from case to case. The army commanders just didn't know how to assess the troops.The Polish army leadership therefore decided to rely more on professional soldiers. So either trained Polish professional soldiers or foreign professional mercenaries were used. Since the Teutonic Order used a lot of mercenaries anyway and Poland also used more mercenaries, there were even such battles as the Battle of Świecino where only mercenaries fought. So in the Battle of Świecino, which was victorious for Poland, Poland used mercenaries and the Teutonic Order did it too. In the battle, two mercenary armies actually fought against each other. Incidentally, the Teutonic Order could not pay its Bohemian mercenaries in this war, which is why they rebelled and handed over the main fortress Marienburg to Poland in exchange for payment. The Bohemian mercenaries also sold 2 more fortresses to Poland.
      Poland was superior to the Teutonic Order because the Teutonic Order was bankrupt. In the end, Poland won the war because the Teutonic Order had lost the revenues of the cities of the Prussian Confederation and instead Poland had these financial resources from these cities at its disposal. Poland had additional income because the Danish king finally conquered Sweden, but the Swedish king, Karol Knutson, escaped to Poland and started supporting the Polish cause financially. Although Poland did not receive any troops from Lithuania because Lithuania rebelled against Polish rule during the war but for that troops from the Prussian Confederation supported Poland in this war. So one can also note that the Prussian Confederation, which fought together with Poland as vassals of the Polish Empire, in fact used only a few mercenaries. Because the army of the Prussian cities consisted of conscripted soldiers. In total they could provide about 16,000 soldiers plus a few thousand armed peasant infantry. The cities also had artillery.

    In 1490, the Jagiellonian dynasty ruled not only in Poland and Lithuania, but also in the Bohemia and Hungary. The crown had vassals: the Teutonic Order, the Duchy of Masovia and the Moldavia. After the death of King Kzimierz IV, his sons did not cooperate with each other, which resulted in the weakening of the dynasty.

    Konitz (in Polish Chojnice) Teutonic order retake almost without any resistance due to large number of Teutonic Knights supporter in the city. Too bad that you didn't show important aspects of battle, causeway between marshland. It separate polish camp from teutonic reinforcement and only two riders could pass at same time, so when first wave of polish cavalry siege teutonic wangerberg, the secend was still passing by causeway. When teutonic attacked polish camp it spread panic in the ranks of knights, as they tried to by pass again causeway, but there were too many of men and horses to fit, so many of them drown in marshland. Sorry for long comment, but I studied history, so I like to make sure such material would be as good as possible. Good job with your video.
