Some corrections to corrections: - dwarfs are in Wrocław, not Warsaw - some Lithuanian guy marrying some Polish gal (in 1386) was just the beginning of a personal union between two countries, PLC - as a politically unified entity - was formed almost 2 centuries later (Union of Lublin, 1569). Important thing to mention about coat of arms is that the white eagle has a crown, which was restored after the fall of communism, since during the Polish People's Republic (a.k.a. communist puppet of SU) there was no crown - it is an important symbol of freedom from outside control and oppression, which - as You mentioned in the main episode - is very important for Polish people (for obvious historical reasons),

@Kasia Thanks for Your take on that subject. To be honest, for me (also a Polish person, just to be clear) it is the first time that I hear that someone in present times identifies the crown directly with monarchy and thus sees it in a negative light. Most accounts I know rather associate it with continuity of Polish sovereignty and independence. Also, on a side note, although I agree that during monarchy most of the people (i.e. not nobles) had much worse than at any of the more contemporary periods (including communism), such string criticism of times of monarchy is a very anachronistic, especially considering the fact that PLC was one of the most progressive in its times on many fronts, such as religious liberties. Such comparison of vastly different periods is very misleading, and these differences that You mention are not only due to the current government type, but also general development of technology and general civic ideas. In these times there were some republics (i.e. not monarchies) as well (especially merchant ones, like Venice, etc.) and the quality of life of commoners there weren't much better.

Since we were on sharing stuff about the Polish: we know Poland actively resisted the Nazis since day one, but little is mentioned about Poland's role in the Battle of Britain, one of the first major air battles of human history. Although many nations contributed pilots, the Polish got singled out by then Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding for their gallantry. That shows you how much of a difference maker the Polish fighter pilots were in a pivotal battle during World War Two.

@askarufus7939 4 жыл бұрын
In Polish its (actually was about 20 years ago, now it's dying) very often that we call a woman by the name of her husband. For example my father is Wojtek so the people from my village did not call my mother Beata (which is her name), but "Wojtkowa". And by the ending "owa" everybody knows its not her name but she's a wife of Wojtek. For the king we have name "Król". At that medieval time women just could not be a head of country so there was only word "król" for the head of country, and "królowa" for his wife. Jadwiga was the head, not the wife of the head, so she could not be called "królowa"(literally queen). That's why she was called the king. But that's only the matter of ethymology of this word. Literally it means she is a king, but as far as the MEANING of the word in english is concerned, we can call her queen (but only in english :p)

The first national banners with a white eagle on a red background date from the time of King Łokietek, some 200 years before the Union of Lublin established the Commonwealth.

Red does not stand specifically for the Lithuanian coat of arms, as it's also the color of the shield in the Polish one, as you can see. But speaking about Vytis, it's also known in Polish as Pogoń and Pahonia in Belarusian, both meaning "pursuit" or "chase" and is an important symbol to both peoples, especially the Belarusians. It even was the official coat of arms of Belarus in 1991-1995. A minor but kinda important detail of the Polish coat of arms is the crown. The White Eagle lost it during the communist times but got it back in 1990, so it's now a symbol of full sovereignty and freedom.

little bit trivia fact : on 2018, there's sports event held somewhere in europe (forgot where), the sprinter from Indonesia won a gold medal in 100m sprint run, but... there's no Indonesia flag to be found.. so they borrowed the Poland flag and inverted it..

Well, it was not like Poland was completely erased from the map for 123 years. During the Napoleonic Wars Polish nation was granted a autonomous, officially independent Duchy of Warsaw. After the congress of Vienna the Sovereign Kingdom of Poland was established. It was a state speared from from Russia, with its own Army, Currency and even a Constitution it was meant to be in a "internal personal union" with Russian empire, but it was a separate country . As it turned out the Russian administration didn't care for keeping the promises gave to the Poles and that led to a Anti-Russian uprising. After the rebellion fell, Russian monarch incorporated the land straight into the Empire, but it still had some autonomy and the Emperor of Russia was automatically also the king of Poland and that's the reason why Poland had its own coat of arms, educational system, national anthem etc.
