Conversation between two historians: Dr. Krzysztof Kowalewski and Dr. Hab. Igor Kąkolewski [41min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/drog... Historians Dr. Krzysztof Kowalewski and Dr. Hab. Igor Kąkolewski talk about the genesis, preparation and course of the Polish-Teutonic war in 1410. They also discuss the course of the Battle of Grunwald, which was the main event during this campaign. During the conversation, historians debunk many myths - those that have grown up around both the battle itself and the Polish-Teutonic relations. The Battle of Grunwald, which took place on July 15, 1410, was one of the most important battles in the history of medieval Central Europe. The battle pitted the armies of the Teutonic Order and the Polish-Lithuanian Union, commanded by Władysław Jagiełło and Vytautas. The battle took place near the village of Grunwald (now in Poland) and ended with a decisive victory for Polish-Lithuanian forces. As a result of the Battle of Grunwald, Poland gained a strategic advantage over the Teutonic Order, which contributed to the weakening of the Order's influence in Central Europe. This victory also had significant political consequences, strengthening the position of Poland and Lithuania in the region. The Battle of Grunwald is often considered a symbol of Polish heroism and unity with Lithuania in the fight for independence. It is also often commemorated in literature and culture as an epic battle, influencing the formation of national identity.
