I have often looked at various maps to try to understand how she has grown and shrunk and changed over time. Fortunately, and thanks to modern technology, others\u00a0have done the legwork and I&#8217;ve found several\u00a0short videos that grapically show how the modern borders of Poland and modern Europe came to be. You can see these videos here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eAVVWlUywO0\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eAVVWlUywO0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oOOuc-8y7HU\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oOOuc-8y7HU<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mtj1h-1RR18\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mtj1h-1RR18<\/a>\u00a0(a somewhat older version of the previous one)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ayf27n2qNsE\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ayf27n2qNsE<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They are generally\u00a0short and well worth your time&#8211;some even more so for the music. Can you now understand just a little why Polish people are so proud of their country and have fought so hard to preserve it over the centuries?
