No, for that time it wasn't the forage that made the hordes come back to hell where they creeped from. Sidobei - master of martial tricks and ambushes who led the Mongol army at Legnickie Pole (Field of Legnica), was urged to come back to Karakorum after Batu's death in order to participate in new khan's elections. If it wasn't for that - who knows...
Funny thing - centuries after that battle when Polish -Lithuanian Commonwealth was an empire a letter from Mongol khan came demanding contribution from Polish king Zygmunt the IIIrd - the Mongol messanger who brought the letter was beheaded. You can still see the letter in Wawel museum, Cracow. Such times you see...
I remember watching a Mongol film about life of Chengis Khan. One thing I remember well is the part about his childhood - legend says he killed his brother for stealing food during the winter cold. Extreme living conditions made these wariors tough as rocks. Apart from that I like present Mongols very much - lovely people with greeeat history. :)
You might say Poland is too cold for growing fruits! >>
good one!
"Quite of clear voice of me is realistic to a point: I don't want this filth in my country at all; I don't hate I just know man should not dwell with men or woman should not dwell with woman its abomination and disgusting and against God creation itself. My country made grave mistake joining EU and I have reasons to debate this fully well; itself is degenerating community of psychopaths of self delusion and pride. Itself is enigma of life and quite misunderstood by those who don't dwell in history of itself and know where strings are pull: nor fore these strings are pull by same people who voiced their disagreement about communism and socialism yet they sell their should for best bidder of life. This is a conflict of which is spiritual: damnation of souls comes from people heart and like wolfs in sheep clothes they take other with them. Struggle is in front of you; look and see or face consequences of sin; have faith that is simple and you will grow much stronger then you think."
end translation thank you all
"You have dates mix stop somehow; Jan our king of Rzeczposplita was in XVII century; battle of Vienna took place in 1683"
"Jan III Sobieski was born in Olesko, Galicja on June 2, 1624 and died 72 years later on June 17,1696. He was a native Pole of noble blood, who through his mother inherited the Ziolkowski fortune, and through his father - Jakub Sobieski- the enormous Sobieski estates. He was one of the wealthiest nobles in Poland, who later augmented his fortune by marrying Maria Kazimiera d'Arquien, the widow of John Zamoyski.
Sobieski studied at the University of Krakow and traveled all over Europe. He fought in the Cossack insurrection and helped expel the Swedes from Poland. For his services and accomplishments he was given the title of the Commander in Chief of the army.
One of Sobieski's ambitions was to unify the Christian Europe in a crusade to drive the Turks out of Europe. He organized the Holy League to preserve the Christendom. In 1683, in alliance with the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I , he led the army that defeated the Turks in Vienna, which turned out to be a great victory and made the Polish King a hero to all of Christian Europe."

good one!"this is total classic thank you
"With its entry into the European Union, Poland has suffered enormous pressure to accept same-sex “marriage” and the whole homosexual agenda. Unlike other nations, Poland has resisted."
Good for Poland. With EU policies equating homosexual unions to traditional marriage, European population will dwindle even faster. Poland does not have to follow the suicidal social policies of EUROCRATS.
"Poland does not have to follow the suicidal social policies of EUROCRATS."AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
