Najdłuższa wojna nowoczesnej Europy(1982)

The Longest War of Modern Europe examines Poland's struggle for independence following Napoleon's defeat, when the nation was erased from the map yet survived in its people's hearts. Partitioned among three empires, Poland's path to freedom took different forms across its divided territories. While the armed uprisings against Russian rule—the November and January rebellions—dominate historical memory and cultural narratives, this series focuses on the lesser-known liberation struggle in Greater Poland under Prussian control. Often overlooked by the general public, this prolonged campaign represents what historians call modern Europe's longest war. The documentary traces how Polish patriots resisted through various means across decades, revealing a crucial chapter of European history that has been overshadowed by more dramatic military revolts.
