Dla mnie język polski jest the most fascinating thing about Poland. Żolnierży Polski pomogli Łotwie uwolnić część terenia Łotwy w roku 1920. Dziękuję bardzo polakom za pomóc.

Although English by birth, as was my father.
My grandfather was Polish, I never met him, even though he passed away when I was 18 (1994).
It has been in the last 12 months that I have learnt more about my Polish heritage, I am proud of this and the spirit of the Polish people

My parents were both Polish and instilled their Polish pride in their children. I'm planning to visit next year and I'm practicing relearning speaking Polish language. So proud of my heritage, and the country of Poland. Szczęśliwego Dnia Niepodległości

Great history lesson . Thank you. Was the independence day celebrated in secret during the 2nd world war? The most interesting thing about Poland for me is the landscape. From the beautiful beaches in the north to the mountains in the south and everything in between!

Very interesting. Thank you. Why do Polish people seem to hate Russia more than Germany? As it seems like both conquered Poland.

Dorota, you're talking about 1795 but then showing the map from after 1815 (Congress of Vienna). In 1795 Warsaw and big part of central Poland went actually to Prussians. Only because Russia swallowed Duchy of Warsaw created out of Prussian and part of Austrian partitions, we ended up with the map you've presented ...

Podpisanie przez Romana Dmowskiego we Wersalu / rok 1919 / 28.06 dniu - dzien Niepodleglosci. W roku 1918 / 11.11. zakoinczyla sie oficjalnie pierwsza wojna swiatowa i o przyszlosci Polski jeszcze nie bylo wiadomo jak i co.

Miss Dorota l m grateful that you explained shortly reasons of partition Poland to strangers. But questions of regaining of Polish lndependence. Joseph Piłsudski didnt rebuilt Polish state. He was Austrian and german agent of intelligence and he served both of these states. Roman Dmowski, Ignacy Paderewski caunt Maurycy Zamoyski on France and Prince Zdzisław Lubomirski, Prince Janusz Radziwiłł at Warsaw. These politicians LED proces of regaining Polish Independent dusing First World War. Polish patriots call them the fathers of Polish lndependence.
