Seven Boyars - Wikipedia the poles were invited by some russians into Moscow, and russia was in internal disarray, hardly a conquestyou can think it, which means crap unless you show it.
R.E. Lee was outnumbered in every battle he fought, the Spartans maybe? Hannibal and Carthage? the Germans won countless battles against the more numerous Russians with one panzer commander destroying an enemy 7 times larger.
There are countless minor battles in history as well so I doubt you can say this with any authority
Yeah, and Hitler, and Lee lost pretty quickly.
Poland fought since 966 mostly outnumbered.
Only 2 times it fell (Partitions + WW2).
That's a lot longer span.
poland fell in 5 weeks to the Germans, hardly the stuff of greatness
The stuff of Greatness is Poland in 1610.
6,000 Poles beat 35,000 Russian + Swedish forces in the Battle of Klushino in 1610.
Then Poland stormed in 1610 Moscow, capturing, and conquering Russia.
The Russian King paid tribute to Poland as a vassal, in the Russian Homage.
So, Poland did far greater than Nazi Germany did in Russia.
Keep in mind Poland did this 1 vs 2 (Poland vs Russia + Sweden)
As
opposed to Nazis who had a whole bunch of allies like Italy, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Slovakia in WW2 during Operation Barbarosssa)
poland was larger, had russian allies, and russia much weaker in a much longer war, and it doesn't sweep under the rug the 1939 collapse. If you want to make the thesis that poland has been such a great military power then they would have made a better showing of it
Poland had Russian Allies, what are you even talking about?
