Polish Subtitles READY!

One, very important episode of history is missing - the battle of Vienna. Polish king, Jan Sobieski, defeated Ottoman Empire and saved the Europe from the flood of the Islam.

The Poles were the first to break the German Enigma code and capture a machine. This shortened the war, maybe even won WWII.

In my opinion there are 3 moments that truly changed the world of it's time and made the history. And delivered Europe from real trouble coming from the East: 1241 - when Poles under Henryk Pobożny at Legnickie Pole stopped Mongols from advancing into Europe 1683 - Poles under command of Jan III Sobieski stopped Osmans 1920 - Poles under Piłsudski and Rozwadowski stopped Soviets This 3 events truly shaped Europe as we know it

And after the Polish 303 helped defend Great Britain they got screwed over and were not even invited to the victory parade, because the Brits didn't want to anger Stalin after they made a deal to give Poland to the soviets.

Importantly Poles stopped Muslim Turks at Vienna 1683 and stopped Red Russians at Warsaw 1920. Poles saved Europe from both hostile religious and ideoligical floods

Poles are amazing people. As Hungarians, we will always see them brothers and sisters. We will never let them down, and we could always count our brave and noble-hearted Polish brothers and sisters.

Nobody in the world has such a beautiful, sad and at the same time brave history like us, Poles

Love Poland from Romania! ❤

You forgot to add that after WW2 Polish pilots had to pay for the food and the petrol they had used while fighting the battle of Britain. That was some sort of "thank you very much" bill for their bravery and skills. (Over £ 100 millions) Polish people know very well the saying that the West loves to fight till the last Polish soldier.

To jest wspaniałe że "obcy" ludzie potrafią takie rzeczy docenić. To jest budujące.

The Battle of Vienna under the command of King Jan III Sobieski Battle of Warsaw. According to British politician and diplomat Edgar D'Abernon, the Battle of Warsaw was one of eighteen groundbreaking battles in world history

This is Poland! These are Polish people! Always helping.

I'm a polish, my country suffered a lot. And now someone is attacking my neighbors and and want to do almost the same thing they did to my home in the past. I WILL help as much as I can and I already am!

One, very important episode of history is missing - British diplomat Lord Edgar d'Abernon, who in the summer of 1920 stayed in Poland, called the Battle of Warsaw the eighteenth decisive battle of the world (in chronological order). It was, in his opinion, an event of global importance, the clash of two different civilisations

Polish General T. Kościuszko in America. He designed the blueprints for West Point, the key American military fortress. The plan for the Battle of Saratoga was his, and it became the turning point of the American Revolution. As Kościuszko made his impact on the newly established United States, it soon became his second homeland. Jefferson recognized Kościuszko’s role in securing America’s independence and appealed to him to delight in the promise showed by the young nation. Jefferson: Gen. Kościuszko.As pure a son of liberty, as I have ever known… Kazimierz Pułaski: 'father of the American cavalry' Benjamin Franklin encouraged the Pole to go to the United States and lend his support to the fight for independence. Pułaski decided to do just that. Upon his arrival in the United States, he wrote to George Washington, declaring his intention to serve the Continental Army under his command. "I came here, where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it." President Barack Obama conferred honorary American citizenship on Pułaski (making him the seventh honorary citizen in American history) and declared 11th October General Pulaski Memorial Day. Obama proclaimed: Each year on this day, Americans pause to remember a patriot and champion of liberty who fought valiantly for the freedom of our Nation. During our struggle for independence, General Casimir Pulaski displayed heroic leadership and ultimately sacrificed his life in service to our country. His commitment to liberty remains an inspiration to us today, 230 years later, and it serves as a reflection of the many contributions Polish Americans have made to our national identity. When you understand Polish history: Grunwald, Polish Hussaria and the Battle of Vienna, Independence, Battle of Warsaw, uprisings, World War I and II, and many others, it becomes clear why Poles are against tyranny and dictatorship. Freedom and independence are the most important things for every nation!

There is much more moments ,when brave Polish people changed the world. Polish mathematicians who break enigma code, 1920 when Poland stopped Russian invasion to the west, and much ,much more.

You are more of Polish patriot than most of poles that I know. By some reason we have had terrible PR around the world especially in US, UK and Israel. I work in international corps all around the world and sometimes I could not believe what I could hear about Poland in mainstream media around the world. That's great that there are lads like you whom are trying to show it in different perspective. Well done! Keep up the good work mate!

We do not beg for freedom we fight for it !!!

Aż kusiło, by wspomnieć, jaka "nagroda" spotkała rodzinę Ulmów za pomoc Żydom, gdy mówiłeś o tym, ilu Polaków zostało zamordowanych przez Niemców za ukrywanie Żydów.

im so glat that someone non polish admire our history that much. tears in eyes

I appreciate Vigo’s Dad spreading the word about Polish soldiers taking the side of black slaves in Haiti. I don’t think that this part of Haitian and Polish history is known outside of Poland.

And you forget most important thing "the miracle over Vistula" when the polish army stop the red flood from covering all of middle and eastern europe. This battle saved Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania and even Germany from turning red.

"We are breathing history" - beautiful words. Greets from Poland.

Poland was the most tolerant country in Europe before the partitions in the 17th century. In these troubled times we live now, I feel like Poland is regaining its old soul.

Super odcinek., ale zapomniałeś dodać, że na koniec wojny nie zaproszono Polaków jako jedynych na defiladę zwycięstwa i dodatkowo potrącona Polsce z rezerw złota (przetrzymywanych w Kanadzie) za samoloty, paliwo i wyżywienie lotników 108mln funtów

Fun fact; hussar's equipment, armor, weapons, horse. Thoughtful and refined to the smallest detail and made with the utmost care. Horses trained from a foal to be able to perform maneuvers on their own. A murderous tactic for over 200 years to complete any task. Probably the only equally well-developed equipment had the Roman legionnaires, and now soldiers of special forces. The famous samurai do not match the effectiveness of the tactics and equipment of the hussars. Unfortunately, the horse breed disappeared after the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

A może mało znany epizod - strajk polskich rzemieślników w Jamestown w 1619 roku. Pierwszy w historii Ameryki Północnej strajk robotniczy i polityczny. Ech, Polacy są wszędzie ;)

For me, the greatest moment in the history of Poland was in 1920 the "Miracle on the Vistula", or the Battle of Warsaw. Also, the "Battle of Vienna", "Battle of Grunwald" (the Middle Ages), the victories of the hussars ...

Witold Pilecki Who was the only volunteer to go to Auschwitz and report to the world what was going on! The Polish constitution was the first of its kind in all of Europe, right after the American Constitution. As a result, among many other things, the Jews of Europe flocked to Poland for freedom and that’s why Poland had for hundreds of years the most jews in the world. Also women in Poland had a hereditary right to all property, whereas elsewhere in Europe, only men were allowed to inherit property. And this goes back a few hundred years.

Z tym Haiti to ciekawy temat, wielu Polaków tam zostało i sporo potomków po sobie zostawili.

you forgot about: - battle of Grunwald in 1410, defeating Teutonic Order, - battle of Vienna in 1683, save Europe before turkish invaders, - battle of Warsaw in 1920 - save Europe before russians

Love others like yourself that’s the key

6. On December 1, 1932, Polish mathematicians: Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski broke the codes of the German encryption machine Enigma. During the 2nd WW, they escaped with that knowledge to England, to help Brits broke improved version of Enigma. You're welcome.

Thank you very much for that video unfortunately Europe quickly forgot about all this stories and forgot how grate and brave hearts Polish people have ❤🇵🇱

Poland in1683 came to the relief of Austria.

You are Polish!BigHeart!Thx

Great Video and history lesson. I didn’t know about some of these things. My father was in Poland during WW2 and saw so many horrible things. I’m so proud to be Polish and am so proud of Poland For helping the Ukrainian people. My heart aches for all of them. 💔

You forgot about Nicolaus Copernicus, he literaly changed the world.

"There are people whose grandparents have gone through exactly this." I am one of these people. We indeed know what it means to have your home destroyed, your family members slaughtered. We will not let Ukrainins down. We have been helping for 39 days now and we will do it for as long as it takes to wave them goodbye seeing them going back to their country, free from the Russian agressors.

Thank you Poland 🇵🇱 We all need to live simply so others can simply live! Blessings from Ireland 🇮🇪

Don't forget to mention that the Allies betrayed Poland and gave it to Stalin. The greatest betrayal. It was their gratitude for the Battle of England

Thank you for this video. Regards from Poland

Thank you for informing us - media will never do that!

Greetings from Poland!! Everything will be fine.

Great video as always!!! Two more situations, Poles saved the world: Bitwa pod Wiedniem, Wojna polsko-bolszewicka.

Wiedeń, Kłuszyn, Cud nad Wisłą, Enigma to kolejne 4 ratunki dla Europy

Thank you for this video. You understand polish culture very well and I really appreciate all your videos. I was born in Poland and now live in the US and I didn’t even know all the facts you talked about in this video… Thank you!

Dziekuje za ten film. Dobra robota

Us Poles know what it's like to lose everything and feel hopeless. Our country and people have gone through more hardships in history than most and so the least we can do is give Ukrainians shelter, safety and a shoulder to cry on.

Wspaniały filmik🥰 nie wiem czy wiesz,ale Polak wynalazł widelec i marcepan😉 Polacy pomagają innym,ale kiedy sami potrzebują pomocy, to nikogo nie ma 😘

As a nation we went through a lot and really never been appreciated. Quite opposite I would say. Hence thank you Vigo's Dad! Lots of love ❤️

Thank you for supporting Polish foreign image. It's very kind of you.

Thank you, Dzięki

Dziękuje za dobrze zrobiony przekaz z naszej historii

Super. Dzięki.

Thank you J for let the world know about our Amazing frends of Poland and Ucrania

Chwała Tobie że opowiadasz tak ładnie o naszej nacji światu :) Dziękujemy

Thank You 🙏🏻

Vigo 'Dad Thank You from the Video! You are doing a Great Job and you have Tremendous Knowledge! Best Wishes! 🙂🧡👍

I am Polish, but I learned about these soldiers in Haiti from you. thank you

Respect

1. You must add that the English "thanked" Poles for participating in the Battle of England, the fact that they sold us to the Soviet Union, they ordered to pay for the training of pilots who fought for England and died for England, they did not invite us to the Victory Parade in London. 2. You did not mention the Battle of Warsaw during which Poles stopped the Bolshevik march to the West, thus changed the history of the world. This battle is considered 18th most important battles in the world history. 3. You did not mention the battle of Vienna in 1683 where Polish army broke the army of the Ottoman Empire. I understand that censorship would not let you talk about it ;)

Bardzo dziękuję za to robisz, starannie, dokładnie, zwięźle, brawo!

Very heartwarming. I've never heard about Poles in Haiti. Dzięki!

Well said.Thank You.

Battle of Vienna missing - arguably the biggest moment when Poland changed the World. Or Europe rather.

Thank You for publishing this information around the world. Its very important for me as a Pole.

You make a good job,proff. Wish the best from Oslo😎

Yes the Warsaw pact and the Polish pilots brought down more German pilots than the RAF pilots. They were treated like shit by Britain and were told to leave the country and go back to Poland where certain death awaited them. Most but not all went to America and some went to Israel.

and this is the content that i like thank you for making this video many people think Poland was not important for world throughout entire history

Thank you for this video!

Is Battle of Warsaw from 1920 also on the list of the second episode?

Thank YOU mr Vigo for making this video. :)

Absolutely fantastic material. I love that you add Haiti and Jewish holocaust. A lot of people talking about Vienna and that's great, but why no one is talking about 1920? Poland stop communisms spreading to Europe.

Hello dear! Thank you for a wonderful video about our homeland! Haiti is a fact, but there were 100,000 Poles in Napoleon's legions;) You can add more than 5 points. 1. Jews were persecuted as early as the 10th century. Polish kings, the only one in Europe, gave them shelter and rights like Polish citizens. 2. Poland defended Europe against the invasion of the Mongols, who pressed for the conquest of Europe. Poland was destroyed but the hordes were stopped and forced to withdraw. 3. Poland led to the fall of the Ottoman Empire in Vienna, which was occupying Europe bloodily. The Balkans were already occupied and they came as far as Vienna. 4.The Polish constitution was the first in Europe and the second in the world. And now others want to teach us democracy and what is right and wrong ... sad 5. Polish pharmacist Ignacy Łukasiewicz opened the world's first (in Poland) crude oil mine. It is the first time in the world that it has distilled crude oil to perfectly separate kerosene from crude oil.From this discovery he also created the asphalt on which we are driving for the first time in history. For his achievements, he was awarded in Vienna by an international commission. He also created the world's first kerosene lamp, which was used for the first time in a hospital in Lviv during the world's first night surgical operation. The lamp was also placed at the crossroads on the road from Krakow to Hungary - it was the first street lamp in the world, which reduced the number of night road accidents among horse-drawn carriages. Americans dug oil but couldn't distill. That is why they came to Poland, and Rockefeler himself learned distillation from Łukasiewicz for free. When he asked what he wanted in return, Łukasiewicz said: if you get rich on my invention, help the poor. That is why the Rokefeller Foundation was established. 6. Poles fought for the independence of the United States (Kościuszko). 7. In 1920, the Poles defeated the Bolsheviks who were going to conquer Europe in the Battle of Warsaw. The Bolsheviks shouted at Warsaw! There, chocolate is in the streets! for Warsaw, and for the conquest of Europe over the corpse of white Poland! The Poles then broke over 100 Russian codes, including three encrypted in Latin. And the Russian radio was disturbed by the Gospel of St. John. 8. Of course, the Battle of Britain was decisive because it was the last one on the way to the victory of the Reich. But Poles were on 30 fronts of the war all over Europe. In 1939, after the invasion of Poland by Germany and Russia, the Russians forcibly deported over a million Poles to Russia, including soldiers. In 1941, General Anders' army broke free and left Russia together with 120,000 Poles. They went through Iraq, Iran, Egypt to the west of Europe to fight. They reached the Italian city of Monte Cassino and were the only ones to liberate it. 9. Poles, for the first time in the world, introduced mathematical methods to cryptology. Nearly 10 years before the Second World War, 3 Polish mathematicians employed by the Polish cipher office, which worked on breaking the German Enigma machine, broke the ciphers of this machine. Only in August 1939, before the outbreak of the war, the method of breaking the codes was handed over to the French and the British near Warsaw for further work. Breaking the Enigma saved several million lifes during the Second World War. 10. Polish inventors also changed the world. Kaziemierz Pruszyński (died in the camp in World War II) and Jan Szczepanik were pioneers of world cinematography. They were responsible for the prototypes of the first television, the first portable camera, and the combination of sound and image, as well as color film and color photography. 11. Maria Skłodowska (curie after her husband). One in the world has been awarded the Nobel Prize twice in two different fields. She discovered 2 elements, Radium and Polonium. She named one of the elements Polonium in honor of Poland. 12. Szczepanik invented the bulletproof vest, which saved the life of the Spanish king for the first time. 13. In 1956, during the Hungarians' Fight for Freedom, there were thousands of wounded in Hungary. Poland sent 15 airplanes loaded with: 795 liters of blood, 415 liters of dry plasma, as well as dressings and medications. 14. In 2018, Poland sent 44 fire trucks and 139 firefighters to extinguish fires in Sweden, completely free. Later the same in Greece. And in August 2010, 155 Polish firefighters extinguished fires in Russia ... I will say what all my countrymen say, we will always be on the right side and we will help until the end of the world and one day longer. This is how we are brought up, to empathy and humanity. In many European countries "cold farming" is popular when it comes to raising children, but not in Poland. In addition, our colors in the flag for 1000 years, these colors accompany us, silver white and crimson. And they mean purity, the purity of the intentions of the Polish nation, nobility, good, bravery, love, devotion, acting in a right cause. By the way. The partitions of Poland carried out by Russia, Prussia and Austria ... were carried out "by God's will", this is what Russia, Germany and Austria wrote in the partition treaties as the cause of the partitions of Poland.

Dobra robota

English payed for Poles heroism by confiscating polish gold after the war (as a payment for using planes) Your list is great but there are 4 things that are probably more important in world history: 1) Battle of Grunwald - probably biggest in middle ages in europe - changed how europe will look 2) Poland along with other slavs in middle europe stopped Mongols - just imagine russia spanning whole europe :) 3) Battle of Vienna. Ottomas were marching to flood europe - stopped by Poland (100 years later Poland was dismantled by countries it saved). 4) Poland regained independency just after ! World War and stopped Bolsheviks - whole europe would be red..... in both blood and ideology. Maybe you could do material about this becouse this deserves to be known - you do a great job. Best Regards.

Great video, thank You! Please look at two topics when Poland military saved Europe: - 1683 Battle of Vienna - saved Europe from Turkish expansion - 1920 - Battle of Warsaw - saved Europe from Soviets trying to conquer whole Europe and join it into Soviet empire.

Thank you to the author for this type of videos. The author did more to promote Poland than Polish institutions that should produce this type of materials.

Great.

Love your videos. I am so very proud of Poland's welcoming the Ukrainian's after they experienced such cruelty by the Russians. Poland shows how important kindness is in the face of barbarism. The people of Ukraine also are showing such remarkable courage. God bless and protect both the people and countries of Poland and Ukraine.

It is remarkable that so many Poles show solidarity with Ukrainian in their private homes. Yet, noone knows how long this war will take and when this people could return ... this private effort helps for the first moment to give those refugees a save roof ... but entire families can not live in a single guest room for month ... in the long run it needs more official help from the state, finacial aid, bureaucratic assistance and accomondation.

Great video reminds us a lot about Polish history and how kind is polish people and in the difficult time in Ukraine.

Vigo, i do not know you. Yet, i can thank you enough for sharing your comments about us Poles.

Many thanks for talking about this. Now in my polish appartment I have 21 women and children , 4 cats and 1 dog. . Let me tell you in Polish: Nie wiem sad w nas Polakach taka siła ale moge powiedziec ze swojego punktu widzenia- tacy jestesmy- SŁOWIAŃSKI NARÓD- FORREST PEOPLE. . BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR KZfaq VIDEO

Cud nad Wisłą!

1920 Cud nad Wisłą. Thx for podcast :)

Amazing job man - huge thanks!

Things like these always make me feel patriotic. Stories of our past are always so inspirational to me- even things like the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, that, although mostly having catholic/Christian leaders, welcomed every religion and ideology- even creating an important and one of the longest alliances in Europe with Turkey. But it always makes me so sad to see these… misconceptions. Credit being given elsewhere because, similar to the battle for Britain, these is this idea that somehow Poland is wildly behind when it comes to development. It’s so weird to explain to my friends, smart and wonderful people, that individuals such as Marie Curie (Who had a French husband), Nicholas Copernicus (Mikołaj Kopernik- who’s surname was changed for no reason) or ever the three men who broke the enigma code were polish- and not French, English and English respectively. These sort of videos, ones that acknowledge things Poland has done/is doing, makes me strangely emotional.

Super video! Pozdro z Polski. :)

Once an old Englishman gave me a high five and thanked me for the Polish airmen. It was a great moment for me, besides I had nothing in common with this story (born 1963). But it was so endearing and sweet for me, that I could not help and cry.

Great video- thank you Vigo. When im angry for our goverment i focus on good people around me. Greetings from Warsaw ❤

Dla zasięgu. Dzieki za to co robisz!

Wow thank you

I really enjoyed the episode!! Well done!! :)

Świetnie, że robisz takie filimiki. Aż łza do oka napływa. Tak trzymaj.

Thanks for this! Lots of Americans didn't know who Lech Wałęsa is! And you sounded great speaking Polish. Like you pronounced ,,solidarność'' very nicely and that is not an easy word

I like your content very much and it has made me even more proud to call myself a Pole.

Nice video, but do not forget: 1682 Vienna, 1920 Warsaw, 1944 Monte Cassino and Warsaw!
