Should've let the Ottomans steamroll through Europe and Poland would probably be one of the strongest countries in Europe today.

>>1942726
>Roman Catholicism
Preserved Polish culture and language when Poland didn't exist. Without the church, Poland probably wouldn't exist today.

>>1942738
Golden freedom motherfucker

>>1942734

>>1942712
Reform to what? Give up religious freedom, multiculturalism, decentralization, optional military service with small, but professional army and remove elections?
Sounds more like modem times,

Events of the late XIII/early XIV centuries were crucial. Unfortunately the worst possible faction won.

That's not how haplogroups work.

>>1942500
They hate the very country that gave them most of their territory (Russia).

>>1945573
Scots are literally one of the most disproportionately accomplished nations on Earth.

Poland are good. But they have nothing on the Athens of the North.

>>1945627

* are literally one of the most disproportionately accomplished nations on Earth.

Also, not doing pic related before the Cossacks didn't chimped out completely.

Actually, everything that went wrong usually came down to magnates fucking things up.
>Bolesław the Bold was overthrown and his brother, Władysław Herman was placed on throne
>Władysław was subservient to German Emperor (unlike his brother), never tried to be crowned king (unlike his brother, who were a king), and sided with Emperor rather than with the Pope (unlike, you guessed it, his brother).
>Władysław's son, Bolesław Wrymouth, on his deathbed separated Poland between his children, with the oldest member of the famili being the king
And then it got worse.

Catholicism.

A good question. What's wrong?

>>1947765
Elective monarchy was a mistake.

>>1946055
>swedish king
that's false though

he was raised in Polish culture, polish language and catholicism, he was a Jagiellon, not a Vasa.

>>1942500
Liberum veto.

>>1947871

>he was raised in Polish culture, polish language and catholicism

He was born and raised in Sweden, Protestantism was not the official faith in Sweden until 1593

>he was a Jagiellon, not a Vasa.

His father was a vasa which makes him a vasa

>>1947980
He was raised in Polish culture you faget
