Why is Poland called one of the countries with the heaviest history?

Because Poland has thousands of years of history, profound cultural heritage and strong religious belief, it is the best successor of European classical chivalry. There are Copernicus, Chopin, Madame Curie and other celebrities here.

However, there are endless wars, repeated national rejuvenation, Auschwitz and Katyn tragedies, which is why Poland is called a country with a long history.

/kloc-since the middle of the 0/7th century, Poland has strengthened serfdom, the aristocratic power has gradually increased, the feudal regime has been serious, and the national strength has been weak; Kings change frequently, not counting during their reign. /kloc-in 0/00, 55 parliaments became nobles at 48 meetings, and no decision was made.

At that time, East Prussia was still Polish territory, and Prussia regarded Poland as a thorn in the side of unifying Prussia and Brandenburg. Russia regards Poland as a thorn in its side leading to Europe; The Grand Duchy of Austria believes that the old enemy must not be allowed to expand.

So the three hit it off and began to invade neighboring Poland.

1772 Poland, which split for the first time in August, lost 35% of its land and 33% of its population, but this was only the beginning.

1793, Russia and Poland were split in two, making Poland a small country with a territory of only 200,000 square kilometers and a population of only 4 million. It is equivalent to the area of two Zhejiang provinces and the population of one district in Chaoyang District of Beijing.

After this war, Poland lost part of its diplomatic rights and the right to wage war with foreign countries. In that age when population justice and wealth depended on war, this despair was suffocating.

1795 Poland, which was carved up for the third time, is no longer desperate. Because of this war, Russia, Poland and Austria directly carved up the whole territory of Poland in order to avoid future troubles forever. Since then, Poland has directly disappeared from the world map.

1807, Napoleon defeated Opal in the war, and the Polish eyes lit up: Ah! Napoleon, he will be the great liberator of Poland! Sure enough, 1809, the great Napoleon established the Grand Duchy of Warsaw in Poland as a satellite country of France.

After Napoleon's defeat, the principality of Warsaw was dismembered, which means that Poland has perished again!

During the period of 1830- 19 18, Poles carried out many uprisings and revolutions, but they all failed, which is also sad. However, they successively established the Polish National Democratic Party, the Polish Proletarian Party, the Polish Socialist Party and the Social Democratic Party of the Kingdom of Poland.

Finally, in 19 18, the Soviet government, in order to show generosity and other ulterior reasons, abolished the partition treaty signed between the Russian Empire and Puao and recognized Poland's independence. Prussia and Austria-Hungary tended to collapse because of the defeat of World War I, which also created favorable conditions for the restoration of Poland.

123 Poland, which disappeared, finally reunited in the cracks! Even Marx thought Poland was simply "the immortal warrior of Europe".

19 19, Poland demands to recover part of the territory occupied by Russia in the past. The outbreak of the Soviet-Polish War made Poland, which had just recovered, poorer and weaker.

Of course, Poland, the unlucky man, was the first to bear the brunt of World War II. 1939 The famous Polish Blitzkrieg made the German armored division shine, but behind it was the 39-day lightning annihilation in Poland.

In World War II, 22% of the population in Poland gave their lives for national independence, which was the worst in the world. 1938, Poland had a population of 35 million, and more than 6 million people died in World War II.

Auschwitz concentration camp and Katyn massacre caused a sensation in the world.

In fact, Poland used to be very strong. 1598, Ivan the Terrible's son, Russian Tsar Feodor (1557- 1598) died, and he had no children to succeed him, which led to the end of the Rylik dynasty (862- 1598) in Russian history for more than 700 years.

Soon after, in Poland-controlled Ukraine, Dmitry, a young man who claimed to be the son of Ivan the Terrible, insisted that he was the czar of Russia. Because this guy is an impostor, he is called "Lzhedmitrii" in history.

1604, with the support of some polish nobles, this Lzhedmitrii happily led 1500 cossacks, some polish soldiers and adventurers to invade Russia.

Although this guy led a group of miscellaneous brands, the Moscow regime was unpopular at home, so this guy quickly succeeded and successfully entered Moscow in June 1605. Interestingly, many Russians think this guy is a real czar. Surrounded by a large number of supporters, Lzhedmitrii enjoys the happiness of the king of a country.

1606, Lzhedmitrii, who was happy only a few days after he ascended the throne, was killed by Prince Vasily Joysky, and a large number of Poles who followed him were also killed. Duke Vassili Joysky became the new czar of Russia and was called "Vassili IV" (1552- 16 12).

With the impostor gone, many people thought that the world would be peaceful, but the Poles were cruel enough. They found a new impostor, the second Lzhedmitrii, who entered Russia at 1608.

This Lzhedmitriii is not as good as the fake Demetrius I. With the support of Sweden, the second impostor was quickly defeated and soon killed.

This angered Polish King Sigismund III (1566— 1632), who simply sent a Polish regular army to invade Russia on 1609, which was unstoppable all the way!

16 10 In July, Russian Tsar Vassili IV, who was trapped in internal affairs and foreign affairs, announced his abdication (he was taken to Poland soon and killed near Warsaw), and Polish troops entered Moscow and occupied the Kremlin.

This is the best moment in the history of the Russian-Polish War. 16 12 years, the Russian army fought bravely and finally defeated the Polish army and regained Moscow. 16 13 In February, Mikhail of the Romanov family was elected as the czar by the nobles, and the history of the most famous and powerful Romanov dynasty (1613-1917) in Russian history began.
