Since we are all talking to each other in English!!....Well....we won't say any more about that!!...
Ok lets talk about empires (remember both no longer exist)
The Polish empire (Kingdom actually) was created through marriage, common relations, religious understanding, freedom of speech. The Polish Kingdom contributed to Europe - it saved Europe from Ghengis Khan in 1259 and 1287. The Poles stopped the Mongols by being a buffer to Western Europe. Thousands died. The kingdom saved Europe from the the Tutonic Knights (Nazis of the time) by defeating them in the battle of Grunwald 1410. The Brits were fighting with the Germans then, but learned a lesson there. The Kingdom saved Europe in 1683 when it defeated the Ottoman Empire (Turks) who had reached Vienna. The Poles saved Europe in 1920 when it defeated the Russian army when it tried to invade Poland.
The Poles were defeated in 1939 BECAUSE THEY WERE FACKED IN THE ARS!!!
The British empire was built on slavery, misery, invasion, murder. The English language was imposed onto the world which is why we all speak English. Maybe we should'nt say more than that...
