@@yeahright6048 soviets in world war two?
@@yeahright6048 I'm not sure I'd count that, since the counteroffensive involved the deployment of hundreds of thousands of chinese troops, so it wasn't thanks to North Korea's own troops.

One of the most important wars in Europe besides the world wars. If Poland lost in Warsaw, the red army would have marched straight into Berlin and Paris, both of which were on the brink of communist revolution. Would have been a completely different world.
No? Saying the Soviets would attempt to invade Germany and France is actually absurd
true
@@kadar_istvanI think You don't understand, how dangerus thay are
My man with peoples will u can do anything even impossible. @@kadar_istvan
@@kadar_istvanTrue. This Polish ego stroking was born from a time of red scare propaganda. The truth is that the Polish attacked the Soviets (peasants who were barely equipped with old weapons) who were literally still fighting a civil war when the Poles attacked. The fact that the Poles almost lost to these people given the circumstances is an embarassment already.
One thing most people don't know: we, as Poland were earlier for... 123 years under occupation, got independent in 1918 and one year later a war like that.
Let me remind you of the story. During the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the end of the 18th century, Russia did not take away a single meter of Polish land. Russians ceded only the territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Russia, which historically were part of Ancient Russia and were inhabited by Russians, Rusyns, Ukrainians and Belarusians. At the beginning of the 19th century, Poland took part in Napoleon's campaign against Russia and participated in its occupation. Only after that, Russia occupied Warsaw, while granting the Polish Kingdom autonomy, a constitution and broad rights to the Polish nobility. If Poland had not attacked Russia together with Napoleon, this would not have even happened
@@AndreyUfa7 buahahahahhahahah learn something about hundreds of years of russian attacks on Poland and please don't write stupid things like that :D Yeah, no Poles lived on those grounds, and this land is historically 100% russian :D The land that russia took, it was Poland, and the borders changed many times earlier, read something instead of writing.

@@keizermark9499 well the only option to defend yourself was attack
@@keizermark9499 nobody disrepsected anyobdy. russia had forced enilstment, this mean men had to go to war if goverment wanted that. poland had volunteers. at first only guys from big cities were enlisting, while men from small cities and villages still belived in communism and all of that fake worker crap. so when red army pushed deeper there was 2 main factors that changed polish workers mind. first was infos that came from polish lands that was occupied. it unfolded that communism is not that fun. they were quick to call any farmer that had some bigger lands a capitalist, and basically whole politcs was to take from farmers. second factor was that Pilsudski invoked new polish prime minister, name Witos. he had great renown among polish workers, as he was also a farmer. there is a very famous converastion between him and pilsudski where pilsudski stated what would be his job, and Witos said that he has only one demand - to be able to come back to his house for field harvest. xd Witos made very famous speech, called call to the nation, I think it is somewhere in english on youtube, which made polish workers and farmer enlist. and you can see that moment even on this video. when russians pushed super deep into poland you can see polish number skyrockets up. thats the moment when workers started to enlist in huge amounts.
@@keizermark9499yes because we needed to show them respect for occupying us for over a century before this 🤡
The soviets getting 1000 casualties before the poles got 1 is actually wild 💀

Its because Poland attacked 1st.
Imagine with a smaller population getting 100k casualties and your very populated enemy having 75k

funfact. The Soviets poor performance against Poland and later Finland, let Hitler to believe that the Soviets are incompetent and would surrender to the german army easily
No
Complete nonsense, which is at the same level of nonsense as, for example, Switzerland is the most neutral country or the like, Hitler attacked the USSR because he needed resources of all kinds, otherwise in a couple of years his empire would have self-destructed
You don't know the history of World War 2. If it were as you write, after the occupation of Poland by the Nazis, they would immediately attack the Soviet Union and not attack the France.
Secondly, in 1920 Poland was not alone. A lot of help from Hungary (armament) and France (organization and creation of an army in their territories). And also brilliant cooperation between Piłsudski and Haler.
No. It didn't turn out so bad in Poland. It’s just that Poland was supplied in such quantities that the supply of weapons from France to Poland was more than what the RSFSR had left in warehouses after the First World War. There was also a civil war going on then. The Poles say that otherwise the USSR would have attacked Poland, but the USSR wanted to attack Poland so much that it sent most of the army to Siberia and the South. Meanwhile, Poland received a bunch of weapons, reparations from Germany and was preparing an offensive, discussing it with the white movement in the Russian civil war.
A few map corrections:
The Northern Bukovina and Hertsa Region were controlled by Romania.
Pokuttia was occupied by romanian soldiers for a short period until was given to Poland and the polish soldiers managed to reach some parts in Transnistria which was controlled by the soviets.
Good point. Valuable comment.
not shown here, but the Polish army in this film was fighting parallel battles in the west with the Germans - this can be seen in the changes in the western borders. Examples of such fights are the Greater Poland Uprising, three Silesian Uprisings and others. Despite this, Poland defeated Russia, but did not fully regain its borders of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and unfortunately Ukraine did not gain independence.
Почему к сожалению и да вы обещали р Россию а РСФСР и да победить кона ам. Помогала вся Антанта и то в что это войну проиграли это такое себе
@@ЕгорТрегубов-щ8ю When Poland's offensive collapsed in the east, no one in the UK believed that Poland could win the war. I agree that Poland was helped, but to talk about the scale, it can be illustrated by the fact that Hungary provided the greatest help to Poland by providing ammunition (!).
In August 1920 Great Britain wanted Poland to make peace with the RSFSR at all costs - when it was on the defensive. Poland did not agree to the Bolshevik peace - the border line proposed by the British (the so-called Curzon Line). For this reason, Great Britain refused to help Poland, and at that time, German dockers in Gdańsk and Czech railway workers in Brno delayed deliveries to Poland. Better check who and how supported Poland in this conflict, instead of talking nonsense.
This was because of the meddling of Dmowski's National Democrats. They were very influential (especially within Entente), so Piłsudski had to make concessions to satisfy them so that Poland wouldn't fall apart, and therefore they were able to push for their "one nation" concept - which was opposed to Piłsudski's federation with independent Ukraine.
Ukraine was sold in Riga by the Endeks to spite Piłsudski...

Polish wikipedia "Untermensch - Wikipedia, wolna encyklopedia"
The Nazis planned to exterminate all Jews and 51 million Slavs (including 80-85% of Poles, 50% of Czechs and Moravians, 65% of Ukrainians and 75% of Belarusians, as well as an unspecified number of Russians and Crimean Tatars).
English Wikipedia address "World War II casualties of Poland"
=Military casualties.=
Poland lost a total of about 140,000 regular soldiers killed and missing. The Polish resistance movement lost an additional 100,000 fighters during the war.[63]
English Wikipedia address "History of Poland (1939-1945)"
=Soviet and Polish-communist victory.=
Over 600,000 Soviet soldiers died fighting German troops in Poland. Terrified by the reports of Soviet-committed atrocities, masses of Germans fled in the westerly direction.[136][143][209]
" I thanks my ancestors and commanders for being so wise and brave and saving us from the soviet misfortune"
Fun fact: the reason Soviets lost the battle of Warsaw was because northern soviet army led by "the Red Napoleon" didn't have his southern flank covered by Budyonny's Horse Army, because Budyonny was under South Army's command and it's leader stopped him, hoping that it'll slow down north army advance and allow him to get credit for victory in Poland.
The leader of southern army was Joseph Stalin
In other words, thanks to his idiocy Stalin saved Poland from communism
Stalin was not a fool, he was prideful.
Stalin didn't aid the northern army as the head of that army was none other than León Trotsky, his rival. Stalin lost Poland, but he eventually had the USSR, for him it was a sacrifice.
Eventually he would have Poland under his control years later.
But, yes, if we see in the greater picture, this was a mistake because if Soviets took Poland in 1920, they would most likely had inspired the communist revolutions in Germany and France. So Stalin's pride, selfishness and ambitions were toxic for the Bolsheviks' cause.
@juancarlosvalladares8486
Not quite correct, Thukachevsky led the northern front against Poland, Trosky was removed from position of overall commander of ALL soviet armies shortly before that battle and was never sent to Poland.
Stalin wasn't as capable of a general as Tukhachevsky, in fairness, not many could match him in skill. It's more of a testament to Tukhachevsky's greatness than Stalin's weakness.
@@juancarlosvalladares8486 From Wikipedia
Trotsky interpreted Stalin's actions as insubordination, but the historian Richard Pipes asserts that Stalin "almost certainly acted on Lenin's orders" in not moving the forces toward Warsaw. According to Stalin's biographer Duraczyński, Stalin, despite his devotion to Lenin, displayed a great deal of initiative and boldness. Unlike other Soviet officials, including Lenin, he had not become euphoric about the Soviet victories. However, he insisted on the exceptional importance of the activities of the Southwestern Front, which turned out to be costly for the Soviets.
The Unknown Lenin: From the Secret Archive, Page 7
@islandred
Personally, I think it's a testament to both, considering that Stalin not only redirected troops so he could take Lviv, but also failed to take Lviv despite having full support from Budyonny AND despite the majority of Polish focus being on Warsaw at the time
Thanks for your work!

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate these maps you make! They are so great for people who are very visual-oriented.

Пень , тогда не было СССР, была РСФСР, при том в гражданской войне
Well the soviet Union was just borned at the time and was going through a civil war
By the way. Battle for Warsaw that took place on 13-15 of August, 1920 was a decisive moment in the war that Poland won. The battle is called "Miracle at Vistula" (polish: "Cud nad Wisłą"). We have a Polish Army Holiday on 15.08 which is the Polish national holiday (military parade in Warsaw etc). I grew up in the city near a place that 104 years ago was that particular battlefield and this event was always celebrated (family festival with some tank shows or military equipment for a photo or smth) as a big day in Polish and European history as it has stopped communist revolution inside of Russia. Also there will be a Museum in a village of Ossów, where main clashes took place, so if you ever happen to visit Warsaw, the place is like 20 km from Warsaw centre.
How far is the city in which you grew up from the place where the Red Army stopped in August 1944??? What holiday do you celebrate on August 1st???
@@КолтуновСерёга So you can google a city called Wołomin and since soviets stopped near Vistula river id say its around 15km. On August 1st we don't celebrate any national holiday but we do celebrate beginning of Warsaw Uprising. At 5 PM (start of the uprising) every car stops and honks for whole minute, there are a lot of marches and ceremonies to honor those who fought and died during Warsaw Uprising. I was a boy scout when I was younger and we were always helping in those ceremonies. Many scouts fought during the uprising and even kids around 10 years old were running as couriers.
Nie było żadnego "cudu" Był rewelacyjna praca wywiadu i szyfrantów oraz doskonałe dowodzenie generała Rozwadowskiego. Oraz katastrofalne dowodzenie odcinkiem frontu przez Komisarza Frontu Południowo-Zachodniego - Stalina.

Good video for what it showed, but you could have labeled various side countries such as the Lvov East Ukraine and the Ukraine at the beginning, or Lithuania, Germany, Hungary (which went thru it own communist war at the same time). No number needed, just show what other things were impacting the struggle.
The civil war in Russia was happening at this time. The poles could've gotten annihilated if the civil war ended sooner.
it's amazing how
Most epic war in history❤
The Miracle over Vistula (the defense of Warsaw) was declared the 17th most important battle in history
6:48 We are so back
Translation of Piłsudski's speech:
I stand in front of some weird trumpet and I think that my voice is about to detach from me and go out into the world without me, its owner. People have funny ideas! Truly, it's hard not to laugh at this weird situation, in which the voice of Mr. Piłsudski will suddenly find itself. I imagine this funny moment, when some rascal winds up the crank, presses the screw and some trumpet starts talking instead of me. Interesting! I would like to see the children gathered then, to whom this trumpet talks with a human voice. And when I think, that among these children there could be my own, who will surely think that daddy is playing hide-and-seek with them somewhere behind the trumpet, I burst into pure laughter.
It's important that Poland was 1year-old country at the moment and still managed to defeat worlds largest country
At that time Russia was in a civil war and Poland was only fighting the Bolsheviks

4:32 can anyone explain why Nowy Sącz and the neighboring area joined Poland after March 14th 1920? Thought it was Poland right after the independence.
Ok, I've read the comments and this video is historicaly accurate as n*zis on the Moon
Lemko Republic was conquered
Soviet Union: We are on the gates of Warsaw! Just surrender already! Poland: I didn't hear no bell!
Someone explain what caused polands early success, then the Soviets success pushing into half of Poland, then the end where Poland pushed the Soviets back
Poland's early success was caused by the fact that bolsheviks were still fighting a civil war and their forces weren't consolidated yet.
The soviet counteroffensive was because polish forces were stretched thin and undersupplied, the bolsheviks mobilised and used a fast, mobile cavalry army to easily push into overstretched Ukraine, which caused Polish unit in belarus to withdraw as well to avoid encirclement. However Polish retreat was disorganised, and soviet general Tukhachevsky saw the opportunity and used his numerically massive army and the "human wave" strategy to quickly sweep through Belarus
However Poles managed to avoid being overrun and managed to mobilise a huge number of new recruits, thanks to which they could organise a defence at Vistula.
In the south, Stalin, who was the southern front's political commisair, disregarded Lenin's and Trotsky's orders to help Tukhachevsky's offensive at Warsaw and decided to capture Lviv. However, Budyonny's Cavalry Army met unexpected resistance at Zadwórze and didn't take the city, after which he went north to finally help Tukhachevsky. But his army was destroyed by polish cavalry at Komarów.
At the same time, Poles managed to break soviet secret codes and noticed that 1. Stalin was being insubordinate, which meant no reinforcements from south and 2. There was a gap between the northern and southern front, which could be exploited.
Commander in Chief Piłsudski and General Rozwadowski came up with a plan to fiercly defend Warsaw while Piłsudski personally led an army over the river Wieprz and used the gap in soviet lines to encircle Tukhachevsky's armies.
The plan was successful, mainly due to the amount of Polish volunteers, the successful defence of Lviv, the amazing work of polish code breakers, the polish independence fervor that kept morale high enough, the Poles' use of tanks and airplanes and Stalin's incompetence and insubordination, also a bit of luck.
Anyways, Poles managed to exploit the gap and overrun the soviet army, almost destroying it. After that, the bolsheviks called for a truce.
@@galaxypl7756 thank you
@@galaxypl7756May be also worth noting that PL units, partially motorised, conducting the decisive spear-cut-off manoeuvre were ordered ‘not to care for the security of their flanks, only full steam ahead’, which apparently was a novel idea in European art of war.

@@galaxypl7756 Why did you remain silent about the meat assaults of the Polish army and, moreover, the defense of Belarus, where the Reds defeated the Poles and stopped their advance.

@@MeikZoo
Yes, Poland received training and armament support from France, Hungary, and Romania. However, you are overlooking one fact: Poland was a country that had emerged just a few months earlier, unified from three different partitions, striving to reclaim its rightful borders. Additionally, Russia had a territory several times larger and a population several times greater than Poland.
Poland had just come out of 114 years of being under three powers, they weren’t going to be subjugated again by Russia. Everybody emptied out of the colleges and Universities and ran to the front lines to defend the country.
To protect the country? From whom? Wasn't it Poland that invaded the RSFSR?
The war having many casualties, deaths and people suffering
The guy at 2:48 : we have many grain and oil and we will restore some railways
It was a speech of Lenin to give morale to the workers during the Russian civil war, since after all soldiers arent the only ones that are helping in the war
Seems like the soviets got their every other Saturday men and food shortage
