Do polish people know that some of them fought a war against the United States?

‘San Patrick battalion’

the Irish were escaping because of the British occupation of their homeland.

switched sites

In the XIX century there were a lot of European immigrants moving to the United States. A high number of immigrants came from countries such as Ireland, Poland, Germany etc. They had several reasons to immigrate, for instance the Irish were escaping because of the British occupation of their homeland.

We were only ever visiting.

And please the British have never occupied anywhere. We were only ever visiting.

you shouldn't be highlighting this minor thing.

It was never 'occupied'.

More Brits than Irish went to the US - were they escaping 'occupation' too?

Just a minor thing, Poles and Russians were also on the side of the Vietcong/NLF that fought the United States and South Vietnamese governments during the Vietnam War (1959–1975).

The brits visited many parts of the globe. Pity they had to murder, exploit, and terrorize so many innocent people during their "visitations."

I for one am very glad that Britain is now multicultural and will continue to become more diverse.

I think it was a joke

POLES AND THE CONFEDERACY
Sigmund H. Uminski*

In 1861 at the outbreak of the Civil War, the Poles in the United States were estimated at 30,000. The Germans, the Irish, the French and others surpassed them in numbers. The call to arms by both the North and the South brought out hardened volunteers, the majority of whom had fought in wars of liberation on the Continent. The Polish American historian, Mieczyslaw Haiman, breaks down this effort to 4,000 for the North, and 1,000 for the South. Recent research reveals that this estimate may be revised upwards perhaps by fifty percent. This, of course, still gives a bare handful of Polish participants compared to the Germans, Irish and French.

and thats a lie.....commenwealth is the biggest organized theft ever made from anglo hands.

the Germans were very busy colonising East Africa at the beginning of the last century

Yeah, but if the Brits had not seized huge areas of the world, then the French, Dutch, Spanish (somebody else would have)

just imagine if Spain had colonised India? They would have tried to force the Indians to convert to Catholicism at gun point
like they did in South America

they had ONE fukkin colony and that without success...

not without trying though
they left it quite late before they started to go down the colonisation route

when the Europeans were carving up the rest of the world, slavery was still very much in practice
and children of four years of age were working in factories

I believe we are starting to drift off topic a tad

Just a minor thing, Poles and Russians were also on the side of the Vietcong/NLF that fought the United States and South Vietnamese governments during the Vietnam War (1959–1975).

That was not a free Poland. It was a few Polish Communists in power enforced by a Soviet Army making decisions for Poland. I guarantee u a free Poland wouldn't get involved in some Vietnam War on a side against America.

Most British aren't but we have been stuffed by our political masters and you sir are a dickhead!

That was/is the way of the world. Most countries were at it, France, Spain, Holland,Germany the list goes on it's just that some were better at it than others.

multiculturalism?

You obviously can't be taken seriously since you're trying to justify the atrocities committed by western European colonization.

they left it quite late before they started to go down the colonisation route

And you obviously cant be taken seriously as you ignore the fact that every corner of the world has produced its own attrocities.

I don't think the Native Americans ever came to Britain killing/raping Anglo-Saxons.

No but the Normans and Vikings did.

Dont forget the Irish, they invaded mainland Britain dozens of times

someone say ireland and show how little you know

Communist Poles you mean?

That was not a free Poland. It was a few Polish Communists in power enforced by a Soviet Army making decisions for Poland. I guarantee u a free Poland wouldn't get involved in some Vietnam War on a side against America.
