So Roosvelt was the worst form those 3 leaders. Stalin was our enemy and he did what he wanted, Churchill was trying to help but all in all he didnt (in some cases he could really help) , Roosvelt could help, pretended to be friend but all in all cooperated with Stalin.


One could, but not would, one should but not could, and one was... well one was Stalin. :) Oh my, this is getting to complicated for me. :)

lmao, the worst thing is,if we actualy told them how much we were taught about Poland in school.....
ok,here goes; On 1st of september Poland was invaded by nazi germany,on the 3rd Britain declared war on germany..........here endeth the lesson.


Actually I did expect that.

(exactly how much of western history were you taught? coz Ive sat with MA graduates through a film,"They died with their boots on" about custers last stand,everyone of them wanted to know what happened at the end and hoped custer and his dashing cavelry would escape the redskins. it works both ways.



I would say too much at times. I still don't get it why was it so important to put the war of the roses in polish curriculum... As for the US history, we are limited to learn only about the revolution war, the civil war and the 20th century period.


Quoting: isthatu
When you are the country that shaped the modern world through the industrial revolution and the invention of damm near everything (apart from polonium) used to this day,railways,motor cars,telephones etc etc adnauseum you do tend to find your history lessons a little too packed to also fit in a thouragh history of ,at the time I was at school,an enemy country behind the iron curtain.




That is perfectly understandable.

Oh, and you lot are all partially right and wrong in the WWII issue. But the problem is that both groups, the Poles and the Brits, have the tendency to interpret the history in a biased way, according to your liking. Threes really no hope for you people.

Matyjasz,a historian has no Nation(when wearing the "history hat" ) or he is merely a propagandist,either willing or unknowingly. Lukasz is a fine example of a "patriotic" person with an interest in history,there is a difference.
You are taught the war of the roses in Polish schools?What on earth for? It isnt even on any curriculum over here as far as I know!
On this thread,Ive said my piece as far as the whole "britain sold Poland" guff goes(without wandering off into wierd tangents of iraq and george bush...) historical record in all languages (bar russian) would show the "truth" of whats been stated by various people on here,for those who choose not to believe the recorded facts and would seem to rather take a more "ooh,the world hates us" tac that puts one more in mind of another group of people many origionaly from the same neck of the woods.

I don't dwell in the past mate! History has always shaped modern day reality and there are some members of the forum that, through their education, can understand the critical moment we have arrived at in Polish history. A moment that will decide what kind of Europe are children will grow up in and what values will prevail.

After WW2 certain decisions were taken that destroyed the lives of millions of Europeans! This needs to be addressed and before Europe can truely move forward.

Twenty years from now you will be saying similar things to the people of Iraq or Afghanistan! Forget what happened! Stop living in the past! Victim mentality! etc etc

It doesn't work like that mate! People have to be held responsible for their actions!

it doesnt have to be that complicated - dont dwell on it - forgive, forget and move on

poland has had its development arrested for long enough - as osiol says, let the future shape the present and leave the past where it belongs

Bubba,

I don't live in the past and I am more focused on the future than most. I do, however, understand that certain things need to be addressed in order to bring clarity to the future. Family members of mine were killed fighting with the RAF and others were killed fighting against communists after the world. They believed in democracy and freedom and were willing to died for it.

johan, i dont see this the way that you do - i dont agree with what you are saying and i dont think you are going to say anything that will make me change my mind - this is why i dont want to get drawn into discussion

saying that, in order to bring clarity to the present perhaps you could explain exactly what 'things' need to be addressed and exactly what you hope to achieve by it

clarity to the future

Make it up as you go along. It's the future. You can do that.
Unlike history, which more than enough people try to mould to suit their own view of the world.

If you see your glass as half full, you'll be looking forward to your next drink,
rather than moaning about someone who spilt one a long time ago.

you do realise how stupid you sound dont you? seeing as I am probably the one putting in the most input in this thread (on topic,unlike you)to counter your odd mix of communist propaganda and bleating selfpity.......if you are insulted by the truth there is clearly no hope for you,i suggest you move to mother russia where your type of dogmatic interpretation of history may still hold water......

It is a phrase meaning you have double standards....you accuse people of not understanding history yet clearly you have no understanding of it yourself.

I think that Poland is a throw of conscience (not sure about translation "wyrzut sumienia") for Britain and US, and on the other hand, we have some complex about how we were exploited by the west. That explains Polish attitude to dig into the past, and British/American willing to forget about history.

I think now Poland is making again a sensless favour for USA and UK by it's contribution in Iraq and Afganistan. I agree, that when it's not in line with British/US buisiness, they will say to us f*ck you, like they did in 1939 and 1945. So, instead of licking others a***, we should leave Iraq as soon as possible and start to care about our own buisiness.

In the past Poland tried to establish it's relations with UK/USA by GRATEFULNESS. "If we help them, they will help us when we'' need it". GRATEFULNESS is something people can feel one to another, but nations do not know such a filling!! So now we do same error and it's ridiculous!

Remember, "Britain has no constant frends, it has constant buisiness".

---------------

As fo examples shown above, sadly for British ignorants, Turing wouldn't crack new version of Enigma, if he didn't know results of Rejewski, Rozycki and Zygalski work. Enigma is a best example of British attitude toward Poles, something we call in Polish "a white Negro". We should stop to make anything for free, because they will not even say "thanks", but moreover, will kick our asses. Life is brutal.
