Greetings from Greece. I love Poland. Its history has many similarities with Greek history. Polish people have suffered a lot throughout the years and I have great respect for them. They are intelligent and hard working people. Long live Poland!
P.S. Polish women are among the most beautiful women in the world. I would love to marry one and make her my queen!! 😎

I'm just a simple hungarian, I see Poland, I give it a thumbs up.



Edit: There's really nothing original in this comment, kinda like seeker vibe, but you appearently love it. Thanks for the likes, and the dislikes (which are too harsh for youtube's snowflake ass to show)!

I have to say that this is the best Animated History you have made so far in my opinion. You have made the video longer and slower so you can follow the history much more easily. Look forward to part 2.

The American cavalry was started by a Polish man named Kasimir Pulaski and a Hungarian man named Michael Kovats de Fabriczy.

I'm an American, my family has a large amount of polish blood in them. i am very proud that my ancestors are from poland. <3

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the black death in the 14th century. Poland was the only country in Europe to go largely unaffected due to having the idea of creating a border around their country.

Omg thanks so much! Poland is my favorite country and I've always wanted to learn more about it! Can't wait for part 2!

You didn't mantion the battle of Vienna in 1683 where Poland basically saved the western Europe from Ottoman invasion? I mean it was one of the 10 most important battles in the history of the world and Polish army of king Sobieski played the most important part in it.

Greetings to Poland from Lithuania ! I know we have had a long history together, and things didn't end up as nice as they could've been, there's also a lot of people fighting each other even today, but what can we do but to wish that one day we can call each other brothers and sisters and celebrate our friendship !
