Their bodies were found during archeological works in areas near the city. It was really a nice ceremony.

Thank you so much for presenting history without any bias. You see, whenever people from Germany present the history of Poland, there is always a certain level of bias, which includes a Prussian perspective that is not necessarily positive or neutral (considering Prussia was clearly Anti-Polish). Yet, you manage to show an unbiased perspective which I am grateful for, so thank you again for it. Another topic what could be interesting would be the Ostsiedlung because it is often too simplified and presented as 'German colonization' which is somewhat false. The Holy Roman Empire wasn't a pure German state but included several Germanic people and even non-Germanic ones. There were also Slavs like Sorbians or Polabians that came to Poland but also several other Germanic people, such as Flemish settlers or even Dutch ones (Polish sources talk about 'olędrzy'). Cities like Gdańsk wasn't simply 'German' but had other ethnicities too like Dutch and Scots which are often forgotten or completely ignored. This is wonderfully presented in the Witcher 3 where you meet someone by the name 'Dijkstra' which is clearly Dutch. There is even a town in Poland called 'Wilamowice' where its inhabitants speak a Germanic language with Dutch and English influence who don't consider themselves as Germans (Deutsche) yet the German minority in Poland says they are Germans. It looks like another attempt to turn another Germanic people into Deutsche even if they don't feel this way. But again, thanks for taking your times and creating your videos to explain the history of Poland/Central-East Europe because it appears to be a 'Terra incognita' to most Western Europeans. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

You forgot to tell about the Austrian part of Poland. "Austrian" poles were somehow "the lucky ones", as Austria, especially after the 1867 Ausgleich (compromise) with Hungary, granted a relatively high degree of autonomy to all ethnic groups including the poles. The Austrians never tried to germanize Poland, instead they granted poles the right to use polish in local administration and education. All feudal remnants were eliminated in 1848, granting peasants emancipation 20 years earlier than Russia. Many poles served in government positions and there was even a polish prime Minister. In the universities of Cracow and lwow/lviv/Lemberg lessons were in polish. Jews were granted full emancipation in 1867 and played an important role in culture and economics (for example, Joseph Roth was born in the almost all-Jewish village of Brody and Ludwig von Mises was born in Lviv. Both were part of the kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, whose eastern part is now part of Ukraine). Obviously the Habsburg empire was not paradise on earth and Galicia was poor, the nobility had a great power and exploited the peasants. However, compared with Prussia and Russia the situation was better

One of the most, if not the most important center of Polish culture after the partitions was the kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria where Polish was an official language and Polish culture and education could expand without any major interference from Austrian empire, with some small exceptions. In late XIX century, a Pole, Kazimierz Badeni became a Prime Minister of Austrian government. Thats one of the reasons for strong sentiment of Poles towards Lviv/Lwów and Galicia in general

@@HistoryHustle And Badeni was not the only one, also Alfred Potocki was the prime minister of Cisleithania (Austrian part of the Empire) for roughly a year 1870-1871. In general Poles did not only fight for freedom, there were also Poles who tried to cooperate with the new powers for various reasons that not only included personal benefit, but sometimes a more pragmatic understanding of the national cause, trying to achieve an autonomy within one of the partitioning countries rather than total independence. This was somehow possible in Russia until 1831 and quite possible in Austria after 1867 when they came to conclusion that they can no longer ignore non-German population after they got their asses kicked by Bismarck & friends. On a related note - there is a good Polish movie (available on youtube with English subs) called "Squadron" that shows January Uprising from the Russian perspective, and one of the main characters is commader of the cavalry squadron Dobrowolski, a Pole who fights for the Russian Empire supressing the uprising. It gives more insight into how complicated things were back then.

@Semper Fidelis it was the type of personal union that made it part of the empire, just an autonomous part. The Russian Tsar was both the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland, both of which did have some sovereignty of their own. However as vassals in personal union with the tsardom, they were defacto Russian governorates except with more autonomy and their own functionaries. Then Poland was officially annexed to Russia proper in 1867, while Finland was not, but both had been administered as autonomous parts of the Russian Empire, with Poland losing its autonomy in the 1867 change to a direct Russian governorate

@Semper Fidelis administratively yes there was a lot of carryover as it was autonomous, but again just to compare, the Finns kept their autonomous grand duchy until the end, unlike the Poles, yet the Finns consider themselves to have been part of the Russian Empire until their total independence after the empire’s collapse. With the Russian tsar as monarch of both these peripheral realms, they were actually tied even tighter legally to the Russian crown than universally acknowledged parts of the French Colonial Empire (Morocco, Tunisia) and the British Empire (Kuwait, Tonga, Zanzibar, etc) were to their respective imperial protector, as all of these places I mentioned are European imperial possessions where local rulers remained in place as vassals to the British and French, whereas in Poland and Finland the Russian tsar reigned in his own name as king and grand duke respectively, rather like how the British King is the Lord of Mann in the Lordship of Mann, however despite being autonomous, Mann is still part of the British Empire, though not Britain proper - likewise the 1815-67 Kingdom of Poland was part of the Russian Empire, but not part of Russia proper.

Very interesting. I was aware of some of this information but not as detailed. As you can see, I have my original Polish sur name(almost original. My grand father changed the 'J', Rajkiewicz, to a 'y', Raykiewicz.) He was born in the city of Grodno, Russian occupied Poland in 1886. But brought to the USA by his parents, my Great grand parents, in 1890. So, I think my grand father 'Americanized' his/my last name a little. I believe, my great grand parents were educated to so degree. Because, upon immigrating into the US in New York, they could write their proper name. Which many immigrants, at that time, from that area, could not. I don't know to this day, if my grand father took part in one the many up rising that you mentioned. And, at some point, around 1889 or so, they took my infant grand father up in their arms, traveled some how across Europe. Got on a steam ship, went across the Atlantic ocean, and entered New York, with a three year old, to start a new life in a new land. My wonderful grand father grew up and lived his entire life as an American. I now have many second and third cousins. None of whom have ever changed our funny eastern Polish name , with the 'y' instead of the 'j'. Sorry for the long post. Sincerely, Bruce F. Raykiewicz/Rajkiewicz

The Russians and Germans failed the denationalization action. Russia itself was too weak culturally to Russify Poles. Even the Germans failed in this art. Bismarck pronounced "Kulturkampf" on Poles, spending millions of contemporary marks for this purpose in the hope of buying land from Poles and weakening the Catholic Church. Fortunately, in vain. Despite the lack of their own self-government, Poles passed the exam.

@Semper Fidelis Sorry, but I can't agree with you. Belarusian language was never a dialect of Polish language. It belongs to the East Slavic group, even though it has a strong Polish influence. Of course Polish and Lithuanian regions were equal because they were one entity as the Republic of Poland. As for the very well done work of social engineering, I can not agree, at least to most. The rapid influx of Germans in the mid 19th century did not at all mean a permanent Germanization of these lands caused by artificial pumping. The aggressive expansion of the Kulturkampf brought no lasting change in society and eventually ended when Germany collapsed after WW1. Also, the 19th century, difficult and shameful for Poles, did not make major changes and those that were made, we repaired in the next century. It should be remembered that the Germans officially changed their Polish surnames to more German ones, which can also be misleading as to the number of Germans in western Poland.

For a 10 minute video you couldn't have summed it up much better, good job! Two cents from me: I was born in a town that during most of that period was in Austro-Hungary (later it sat directly on the border with Galicja)and had luck to have great history teachers growing there. I was astonished how multicultural it was through centuries with, Catholic, Jews and Protestants lived hand in hand through centuries. And there... It was fine. Town was back then very multicultural with Austrian-Germans, Jews, Czechs, among other nationalities and Polish people were mostly working class that didn't care enough for uprising. Austrian rule ment a fast direct train to Vienna (nowadays you can't get to Vienna or even Kraków by train in the same time that this train needed...) and good economy with little repression. Most severe I can think of right now that poorer workers - so most Polish people couldn't settle in the city with rich Jewish and German Factory owners and traders, though I think that was more related to class than nationality. And boy, the economy was good, by XX century we were one of first cities in Europe that had electric lighting, trams etc. One thing I can't help but notice especially since I've immigrated. You mentioned that all the repressions against the Polish, especially under Russian occupation were directed at Catholic church. That's unfortunately very true. Catholic church for centuries was a stronghold of Polish culture. To this day any criticism of church is associated with these repressions by a lot of people, to the level that most influential politicians claim that attack on church equals attack on Poland. It's really hard to get rid of that attitude and church uses it to take land from the state for little or no money, cover peadofillia cases and to act as a political force. After all - if you criticise anything church does the argument becomes that you are not different from Russian occupants from they time and you're anti Polish. And it's a shouting match not a logical conversation. From a guardian it's become a parasite deeply ingrown in the system that even change of generations doesn't seem to cure.

It's a common misconception that Poland didn't exist for 123 years. In fact for most of this time there was some kind of polish state - in form of Polish Kingdom in personal union with russian tzar that was a king of Poland as well - since Congress of Vienna. So - since Third Partition of Poland in 1795, there was no Poland whatsoever on map for only 12 years. Then Napoleon erected Duchy of Warsaw in 1807 and then in 1815 Polish Kingdom replaced it till the 1917, when independant Second Polish Republic was founded.

Polish nationalism was captured by Roman Catholicism during the second half of the nineteenth century. This coincided with a campaign in the Russian Empire to drive the Jews from the country by means of pogroms. The loss of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth meant, for the Jews, a loss of legal status, a disaster. Where Poland gave legal protections to the Jews, Prussia, Russia, and Austria were hostile, punitive towards the Jews. (Austria changed after the 1848 revolution.) Polish Jews were full participants in movements to regain Polish independence.

Galicja and Lodomeria -Polls caled it gollicja(land that will stripe of you clothes) i głodomeria (famine land). Thanks to Austrohungarian oficials Pesants get land with Huge debt, and just before time of January uprising they revolt aginst aristocracy kiling Polish land owners with their fimilies and servants.They did this by farm tools like scythes, hamers. Stuff very similiar towards later anti polish Ukrainian action in1943-1944 caled Rzeź Wołyńska. Austrohungarian gov did react only after they do what its oficials wanted, thanks to this uprisng on Austrohungarian soil didnt hapend. Austrohungarian Intel was a thing and you may end up in prison when fly do pup on portrait of Austrohungarian leader (similiar to modern North Korean Republic).

@@HistoryHustle .Ok. Regarding the name of the video- if I had to correct - it would be POLAND UNDER RUSSIAN, PRUSSIAN AND AUSTRIAN RULE - A COUNTRY WITHOUT INDEPENDENCE. Poland lost independence also from Prussia in 1795 . Germany came into being in 1871. There was a state on and off- Warsaw Duchy or Kingdom of Poland with the Tsar as a King- obviously not accepted and detronized in any possible way by polish authorities....

@@HistoryHustle The only part of Poland that we can talk about autonomy was Galicja - part of Austria, Austria- Hungary later. Because polish people there accepted huge autonomy awarded by Emperor Franz Joseph. No autonomy was accepted in Russian part- independence ( freedom ) was the only option. People were fighting and dying for that in National Uprisings and Napoleon's wars

LuiePool Napoleon was about setting up republics looks at the dozens of puppet republics he set up. Even the “French Empire” was based on republican, not monarchical, principles. The House of Bonaparte was unique, it was in opposition to all the other royal houses of Europe. It didn’t play nice with the Habsburgs, Hohenzollerns, Saxe/Windsors, Bourbons, etc.

@@TheLocalLt Youre saying it yourself: puppet republics. Those entities could never depart from the road Paris had envisioned for them, either on foreign or domestic policy. The mentioned Duchy of Warsaw is a clear example of this. And for some territories the repression got even worse: they were bluntly annexed by France. Their governments disbanded, their systems overthrown. They were only allowed to provide the French army with food and manpower. No room for an own national policy, an independent course. The Netherlands are one of those. Napoleon had declared himself emperor over them. No room for self determination whatsoever. The house of Bonaparte didn't conform to the rules of the European aristocracy, sure. But neither to the rules of the French Revolution. Napoleon ended with his coup detat the system of the councils, an early attempt to some form of democracy. After this, he crowned himself emperor. All of which what makes him, at least from some point onwards, quite the monarchist. And not an enlightened revolutionary. He reestablished French monarchy, conquered Europe, annexed some of it, created puppet republics in the rest of it. Self-determination is not a Napoleonic idea. He despised it.

LuiePool read your comment and mine again. Republicanism doesn’t equal “self-determination”. A republic just means “non-monarchical”. The Soviet Union and today’s Russia and China were/are republics, they don’t exactly allow self-determination or even domestic participation. Every country in history has either been a monarchy or republic, no matter the style (presidential democracy, fascism, communism, constitutional monarchy, absolute monarchy, etc) of regime underneath. The only exceptions I can think of would be very recent: select former British Empire countries such as Canada and Australia that were granted independence; they essentially straddle the line between both. As we discuss this though, ironically enough Warsaw was one of the few puppet states Napoleon set up that *wasnt* a republic, but it still promoted the same set of beliefs that Napoleon pushed (hypocritically as you point out) in the republics which is what History Hustle was getting at
