About Polish History: One of my favourite Polish websites is culture.pl. They always provide a bit of a quirky look at Poland, Polish history, and of course, Polish culture. From them I learned the following, "In the year 966, Duke Mieszko I (Mye-shcko), who ruled several Western Slavic tribes, decided to consolidate his power by being baptised in the Latin Rite and marrying Doubravka, a princess of Bohemia. This is symbolically regarded as the creation of the state of Poland. What this meant was that Poland became a Christian country, permanently joined Western culture, and moved under the pope’s protection."
The history continues, of course, but I will leave you to follow up on your own.
