I wanted to count how much time all the wars in which Poland took part in, but I gave up. This country is a demon of wars. Instead, I made it easier and focused on the war that lasted the longest.
Let’s move to the 15th century of Eastern Europe when in border countries with the Teutonic State such as in Poland, the importance of the bourgeois states increased and nobility. In the Teutonic Religious State, the authorities ruled the undivided polarized society composed of feudal subjects and the elite of the order. Such the status of society has already become a burdensome archism. There was a jealous dissatisfaction, especially the townspeople and a decrease in trust in the power of the Teutonic Order, focused on my own problems of the struggle of the Teutonic families for the inclusion.
In 1440, in Kwidzyn, townspeople and nobility of Prussia (former lands received to Poland) established a Prussian Union, which aimed to negotiate with the Order to introduce independence as well as commercial and tax privileges. However, the authorities of the Teutonic State tried to delegate the organization by all means. Finally, in 1453 (13 years after the foundation of the Prussian Union), the court trial before the Roman Emperor Frederic III Habsburg, in which the Prussian Union was ordered to dissolve.
The authorities of the Prussian Union refused to obey. The organization took the form of secret (underground) activity. She asked for help from Polish influential political authorities to prepare the takeover of power in Prussia. In March in 1454, an anti -Teutonic uprising broke out in Prussia. The Prussian Union issued an act for the power of the Teutonic State stating that all Prussia surrendered to the Polish king Kazimierz IV Jagiellonczyk as a legitimate heir. King of Poland issued an act of incorporation of Prussia to Poland, which was a deprive of the Knights of Power on the Prussia.
Prussian townspeople took up the fight for their cities, throw away the Teutonic city officials. But the power of the Teutonic Order had no intention of giving up its reign, and so the exhausting war began, moving cities from hand to hand, which ended only after thirteen years in 1466. After signing the room, Poland regained its original lands and obtained access to the Baltic Sea again. The war could last further and quite a long time if it wasn’t for this that both sides have already run out of money. (Brux)
