The Complete History of Poland | Compilation

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.

Poland has a beautiful and rich history. I really hope I could visit one day. Love from your flag twin, Indonesia!! Poland is not yet lost!

Poland is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. I was honored to walk through Warsaw and krakow. Interestingly I was given the opportunity to visit the grounds of the auschwitz camp. A truly singular experience and something I recommend every person do once in their life. Poland left me humbled and grateful

4:40 - It's because in Poland's laws there's no distinction between queen consort and queen regnant, queen's always wife of king. That's why she was named a king.

I will visit soon 🇵🇱 I love Poland from the UK. Our brothers in arms 👍

Poland has a rich fascinating history of being a super power. Its unfortunate that most of academia only teach about Poland being partitioned and wiped off the map.

The more I learn about Polish history, the cooler they seem

The legend returns with an entertaining history lesson!

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.

Poland can into space!

Love Poland from iran 🟩🦁🟥❤️🇵🇱

Poland has a long and interesting history. Great compilation.

I only wish you had mentioned the forced resettlements of Poles deep into Syberia by the Soviets right after its invasion of Poland. Many died during the weeks long trip in train cattle cars, some made their way back years later, some ended up in Kazachstan even until now. Perhaps a dedicated video?

What a rare gem, thank you! My ancestors were Polish, and I'm always trying to understand their cultural context. <3

If I were to immigrate from the United States to any country in Europe, I would happily choose Poland 🇵🇱

Thanks for another wonderful video! Can't wait for the next! Love form Brazil!

I am watching this as I just arrived in Poland for a month long vacation. Currently in Rzeszow and about to train it out to Krakow soon. Will visit Wroclaw, Warsaw, Poznan, Gdansk, and many more along the way. I love it here.

Greetings from Poland ❤🇵🇱 I’m proud of being Polish and I love my country. Our history is soooo mesmerising and beautiful ❤ Europa is my home 🇪🇺💗

2:18 The city name Gniezno is said to originate with the word Gniazdo meaning Nest. Legend says that is where Lech saw the eagle landing in its nest, naming the place after it.

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.
