This animated history of Poland created by a Polish master of animation, Tomasz Bagiński, remains one of the best testaments to a turbulent history of the Polish Nation. The movie, sponsored by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, was a hit at the 2010 EXPO in Shanghai, China. For someone unfamiliar with Poland's history, the highlights of the major events will spark a taste for more.
In fact, to understand the current political and social trends in Poland, one must learn about the Polish past. Kings and Queens, Teutonic Knights, union with Latvia, wars and uprisings, lost and won independence, famous leaders and scientists - all shaped the Polish culture and history.
Visiting Poland is a lot of fun and, for those who like the history, a great authentic adventure. If you have a chance to visit, travel to Poland, you will be pleasantly surprised.
