Poles you should know
Poland’s been alive for over 1,000 years, and seeing that it occupies a great big lump of Central Europe it seems only natural that it’s produced a few household names over the years. Figures like Pope John Paul II will need no introduction, while anyone with a depth of historical knowledge will be aware that King Sobieski III saved Europe from being enslaved by the Turks at the Battle of Vienna, 1683, or that it was astronomer Nicholas Copernicus who first suggested that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
