History / Where did the power of Poland vanish to, since... let`s say, some 300 years ago? [180]
It seams that power of Polish state began to drop rapidly since the Battle of Vienna in 1683 (not exactly since that year but approximately around that period). This is how i got impression looking at historical events and chronology.
So, what could be main reasons for weakening of Polish state? What are those direct losses that led to weakening of Poland and, what is even more important, what are those interests that forced Poland to loses its sharpness and power? On the end, what was situation with factors within the Polish state that eventually contributed to the weakening of Poland?
are you interested for discussion on this?
