| ARTICLES RELATED TO Warmia | | | | |  Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Thirteen Years' War - International situationIn 1454 Poland was in conflict with Lithuania, which meant that although Casimir IV was Grand Duke of Lithuania as well as King of Poland, Lithuania sent no aid during the whole war to Poland, and didn't participate in it, except for a few raids without any impact on the result of the war. There was also the threat of attack by Russia and by the Ottoman Turks who in 1453 sacked Constantinople.
Elsewhere, the international situation was quite good for Poland -- no-one apart from the main combatants was likely to intervene. The southern ...

| | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Thirteen Years' War - The Forces of the Belligerents The main part of the Polish army of that period was conscripted. All noblemen from the class known as the Szlachta, when called by the king, had to appear with their village-mayors and village-administrators. Cities gave wagons with horses, food, and service to them (including escorts). Units were divided into choragwie (standards) of two kinds: family, which were made by very large clans, and land which were from nobles from particular territory. Peasants also participated as infantrymen. The highest comman ...

| | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Prometheism - Fifth period 1933-1939 The last, fifth period of prewar Polish Prometheism (1933-1939) was, in Charaszkiewicz's words, one of "seven lean years." A number of developments contributed to this:
The Polish-Soviet mutual nonaggression pact stopped Polish policy-makers from continuing Promethean work in the field. It was felt that in the Soviet Union a process of national renewal was to some extent taking place spontaneously in the Promethean countries, thanks to the existence of autonomous republics, to Soviet support of general education in the na ...

| | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Nicolaus Copernicus - Quotes Goethe:
"Of all discoveries and opinions, none may have exerted a greater effect on the human spirit than the doctrine of Copernicus. The world had scarcely become known as round and complete in itself when it was asked to waive the tremendous privilege of being the center of the universe. Never, perhaps, was a greater demand made on mankind — for by this admission so many things vanished in mist and smoke! What became of our Eden, our world of innocence, piety and poetry; the testimony of the senses; the conviction of ...

| | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Prussian people - Medieval history Though a peaceful farming people, the Old Prussians were pagans and practiced human sacrifice, which attracted the attention of the newly installed dukes of Poland, Masovia and of the Teutonic Order. Prussia was slowly and painfully overrun and subdued by crusades established by the popes. Baptised Prussians were educated at the diocese in Magdeburg and many western Germans including Dutch moved to Prussian lands. Meanwhile, the Lithuanians utilized the time bought by the blood of the Prussians (allied with the Sudovians) to form the grand d ...

| | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Prussian people - Early Baltic history At the beginning of Baltic history, the Prussians were bordered by the Vistula and the Neman with a southern depth to about Torun, which was Prussian, and the line of the River Narew. The Germans were on the west, the Poles on the south, the Sudovians on the east, the Curonians on the northeast and the Lithuanians on the northwest. The Sudovians began at about Suwałki.
The Prussians, like the other Balts of the times, were organized into a tribal structure. This structure is most fully attested in the Chronicon terrae Prussiae ...

| | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Prussian people - Language The monks of the Teutonic Order, being of a scholarly bent, took an interest in the language spoken by the Prussians and tried to record it. They needed to communicate with the Prussians in order to convert them. Consequently we have some record of the Old Prussian language. With the slightly known Galindian, and the better known Sudovian, it is all we have of West Baltic. As might be expected, it is a very archaic Baltic, showing affinities with Germanic. Old Prussian seems to support the theory that ...

| | | | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Union of Poles in Germany - World War II and after Even before the German invasion of Poland, members of the Polish minority were deported to concentration camps; some were executed at the Piaśnica mass murder site. The Union was delegalised.
Members of the minority were subject of obligatory military service in the German Wehrmacht. In 1945 most of areas populated by Poles were located inside the new post-War Polish border, the Oder-Neisse line. It is calculated that out of the 3,500,000 former German citizens now in Polish territory, more than 1,500,000 belonged to the Polish minor ...

| | | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Nicolaus Copernicus - Copernicus and Copernicanism Copernicus' theory is of extraordinary importance in the history of human knowledge. Many authors suggest that only Euclid's geometry, Isaac Newton's physics and Charles Darwin's theory of evolution have exerted a comparable influence on human culture in general and on science in particular.
Many meanings have been ascribed to Copernicus' theory, apart from its strictly scientific import. His work affected religion as well as science, dogma as well as freedom of scientific inquiry. Cop ...

| | | | | | Warmia: Encyclopedia II - Nicolaus Copernicus - Biography Copernicus was born in 1473 at Toruń (Thorn) in the Polish province of Royal Prussia. His father Nikolas, a citizen of Kraków, then the capital of Poland, had moved to Toruń in 1460 once the war with the Teutonic Knights was concluded, and had become a respected citizen of that city. Copernicus was ten when his father, a wealthy businessman and copper trader, died. Little is known of Copernicus' mother, Barbara Watzenrode, who appears to have predeceased her husband. Copernicus' maternal uncle, Lucas Watzenrode, a church canon and later P ...
