I wonder. I just read a book on Polish history and wondered what the forum thinks was Poland's greatest moment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Warsaw_(1920) If Poland has lost, most probably whole Europe would enjoy communism since 20's, maybe 30's.

Ryszard: If Poland has lost, most probably whole Europe would enjoy communism since 20's, maybe 30's. and if we lost the battle of vienna in 1683 we all would be muslim commies ;)

You may laugh as much as you can, but these are the facts. Germany was on the brink of communist revolution, France was totally exhausted after World War too. Ok, maybe UK would manage to save behind the channel as usual.

besides the 1920 and 1683 dates there are two more very important ones: the year 966 and 15 July 1410 but i can also think of at least another half a dozen dates that were pretty monumental.

cjjc: What was Polands greatest historical moment? I'll go from left field and say the ratification of the Nihil Novi Statute (1505). The implications were earthshaking to the politico legal direction of Poland, and this Act was simply a revelation of the time when you think about it. Fine battles aside, I think Poland's star shone brightest historically with its frighteningly moderns concepts of government. One could be tempted to say Poland paved the way for France, GB and USA hundreds of years later.

I think it was The Warsaw uprising against the Nazis.

HAL9009: I think it was The Warsaw uprising against the Nazis. I believe this thread is not devoted to the greatest catastrophes... Ozi Dan: No it didn't. Outside intervention did. If a man would decide to walk naked through the park in the middle of winter, became sick and finally died. Would you try to explain this tragic outcome by invasion of deadly viruses?

lesser: Would you try to explain this tragic outcome by invasion of deadly viruses? Yes. The man's nakedness precipitated the event but the virus caused the man's expiry.

The Warsaw uprising just led to a bunch of innocent people being killed and the city being destroyed. Best moment was Polish cavalry saving Vienna at the last moment to defeat the Muslim invaders. To join hands with a rival entity in such a way is quite honorable.

During the Time of Troubles, the Kremlin was held by the Polish-Lithuanian forces for two years, between 21 September 1610 and 26 October 1612.
