History / Only two countries in Europe did not accept XVIIIc partitions of Poland.. [54]
Turks likes Poles. It comes form history. Although they stopped us in Vienna, Turks did not accept partitions of them. During 150 years, Ottoman sultans asked consciously ''where is Polish diplomats'' to the other countries diplomats in Turkey in the meetings, want to show Turks wants freedom of Poles.
I agree but it is too late.

I still think Polands greatest blunder was going to the aid of the Austrians at Vienna. Sobieski should have kept his troops away from this, and let Austria and even Germany get overrun by the Turks. The Turks would have been stretching themselves quite far after that kind of advance, and would not have likely turned their sights on Poland and Eastern Europe. At least, not for a while. Poland-Lithuania could have allied themselves with them and formed a great commonwealth of three countries.
I agree but it is too late.
