The Creation Of The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth

During the early modern age the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the superpower of East Europe. The united state was a result of not only an alliance between the Queen Jadwiga of Poland and Grand Duke Jogaila of Lithuania in 1385, but also of joint efforts of Polish and Lithuanian nobility to keep their countries powerful. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth held its banners high despite being surrounded by other great powers, such as the Holy Roman Empire, the Principality of Moscow and the Ottoman Empire. The country presented a unique mix of monarchic and democratic systems with the king being elected and the parliament playing a key role in governing. In this video you will follow the exciting history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, learn about the political intricacies of local nobility, szlachta, and discover the horrible truth of the local analog of slavery, the serfdom, growing in its popularity as the time went on.
