Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]
you Irish attacked once Canada from the US territory
wrong. it was american citizens from the NEWLY formed USofA that...
From Maine to Wisconsin, throughout the spring and summer of 1866, an estimated twenty-five thousand Union and Confederate veterans of the Civil War – members of the Fenian Brotherhood and calling themselves the Irish Republican Army -- gathered along the northern border of the newly-United States for the purpose of invading and capturing Canada.

they call themselves irish, but its just a branch of the new US's army. forgetting that poland is in iraq, there are polish descendants in america, like the irish also.
the 'called' themselves irish, and may have had irish decent. but it was not irish or ireland.
the same i could say of poles that fought for napoleon against the Russians, unless, they fought for Poland or for france? (the difference being, the 'irish' you mention were american and fought to capture canada for america)
hey maty,
Poles wanted liberation and one of the ways was through cooperation with France. Can we blame them for wanting their freedom?
i agree with you, it was a means to an end i think for poland then, the lesser of two evils perhaps, (as napoleon's actions if he won can only be debated at this stage)
