PLC

History was written in xviii and xix century when plc was gone or was forced into being forgotten by foreign powers, than in xx century anglos wrote it while pl or lit were behind the iron curtain so it's obvious that no one cares.

Going to assume you are an American.

The question you have to answer is "how relevant is this to a modern American?". The US civil war had many effects on America today, the Chinese revolution is important as the revolution shaped what China is today and China is a significant world power, and colonization eventually led to colonists rebelling and gaining their freedom.

If you can think of a reason why the PLC is relevant to the average American, I'd love to hear it.

Szlachta was mistake
Kosciuszko was too based for this world

A near-democratic world power that experienced a golden age while the rest of Europe was experiencing a surge in absolutism. 'The golden liberty', that eventually collapsed due to systemic problems.

Sounds like a lesson America needs to take to heart, especially right now.

So russmongols?

Wasn't the PLC basically an aristocrat playground? As in long after 'Western' Europe had become more 'civilized'?

>>2920606
As much as I love Poland they were a regional power not a great power nor a world power nor a super power
>>2920972
Most commonwealths were actually good for the common man
>>2920139
It is for the universities to learn about not the common pleb

>>2920972
More civilized, as in religion wars?

>religion wars
Nice meme. Because the thirty years war sure was a "religious" war, amirite? I mean that's why you had protestants, muslims and catholics on the same side. Because it was totally fought for religious ideals.

>>2920606
>A near-democratic
Not even close. Only when you meme up the numbers of Polish nobility (like 10% of the population).
>world power
Regional at best. So regional they were invaded by all their neighbours and even from within by Ukrainian revolts.
>golden age
If you were rich Polish nobility and not tired of being invaded that is.

Here is a nice video about it:

Would be not interesting for minorities.

>If you are invaded, you cannot be x power
>Soviet Union is not even regional power, because it was invaded
>So is Roman Empire
>etc
Well, of course "world" part is bullshit.

>A near-democratic
>Not even close. Only when you meme up the numbers of Polish nobility (like 10% of the population).
Not even close, but somehow Athenian democracy is legit with similar numbers.
>Calling up memes, but as his base of history knowledge uses children story video
Well, if at least it would be correct, but
>14thC, invaded by Prussians,Moscuvities and Mongols
What
>Invaded by Napoleon

>golden age
>If you were rich Polish nobility and not tired of being invaded that is.
And you can't even read, because there is small difference between "golden age", and "the golden liberty".


As for answer for OP's question

>Why they don't teach in schools in the west about it?
Because the people who create our curriculum deliberately try to not be Eurocentric. Which is fine. We live in the big world and should focus on alot of areas.However the problem is that despite their attempts to avoid eurocentrism (which they succeed in) they remain Anglo centric. Large swaths of Europe are downplayed if not flat out ignored while the European nations which are more relevant to to America are taught about along with the non-European world.

I have a first hand example of this In my community college class cultural anthropology class the textboos only had one page devoted to Eastern Europe. ONE PAGE. It was talking about how Russians still paid bribes to the police even after the Soviet era. Having only one page devoted to all of Eastern Europe is sinful.

If civilization is to be identified with centralization, then Russia was more "civilized" too, while Germany and Italy were pretty much barbarian.

>>2920139
The PLC was back in medieval times and if schools taught about the medieval era, they might realize that the Enlightenment propaganda we've been fed by the eternal Anglo will break apart, and they'll realize that Christianity did not suppress Science or even social progress and was actually the bastion of Western civilization and the basis of our entire morality. They also might realize that medieval people weren't backwater idiots and a lot of early Enlightenment/Renaissance philosophical ideas actually have a medieval philosopher saying it first. Oops.

The polish part. That would imply they were poles inhabiting those lands and not germans

Please leave this board.

Thanks.

Retard, this map has nothing to do with the inhabitants of the PLC but how it was divided between the Crown, the Grand Duchy etc...
