History /
Sin of omission against Poland (Uprising ignored by Britannica) [24]
Sorry?
Important in Polish history, not important in world history.
Think of it like Doda.
She's famous in Poland, not famous anywhere else.
Or like The Boer War(s), important to South Africans, but the rest of the world just says "Meh" Sure the only important thing about the Boer Wars were the British inventing concentration camps.
Brit Bully.
LOL!!!!!
If the Warsaw Uprising wasn't "important", as you say
That's not what I said.
I said:
it wasn't a very important event in world history.
Important to Poland, yes, to the world, naw.
why does Britannica omit Yorkshire Day celebrated on 1 August
Hardly important, the first time I've heard of it is today.
Enigma
Cracking Enigma wasn't a Polish achievement. Sure a couple of Poles broke an old code, but not the code that the Nazis were using at the time. I think they were actually something like 18months-2 years behind the proper code. So claiming Poles broke the enigma code is a bit like saying Columbus discovered America, even though the Vikings had been there 100s of years earlier.
Y'see Polonius, your ego is something of mammoth proportions. You need to come to realise that Poland isn't and never has been, nor will be an important country....sorry, it was once, my mistake but that's coz Polish royalty married into the Lithuanian royal family, long time ago though. Poland's like Ireland, or Portugal, or Croatia, or Albania, or Bolivia, or Uruguay, or Chile. It exists, the people living there like it by and large, but on the world stage it means very little to anyone.
