On July 15, 1410, Poland fought one of the most important battles in European history.
And won.
The Battle of Grunwald was the largest land battle in medieval Europe. On one side stood the Teutonic Knights — a powerful military order that had been expanding across the Baltic for over a century, backed by the wealth of the Church and the support of Western powers. On the other side stood the Polish-Lithuanian army, one of the most diverse forces ever assembled, including Poles, Lithuanians, Czechs, Tatars, and even Moldavians.
The battle lasted most of the day. When it was over, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order was dead. His army was destroyed. The Teutonic threat to Central Europe was broken forever.
Poland did not just survive that day. It became the dominant power in the region for the next century.
Six hundred and sixteen years ago today, Poland changed the course of European history on a field in Grunwald.
