Spread of the black death in Europe (1346–53)
Four for you Poland, you go Poland!
poland how the fuck did you do that
What the fuck Poland
Oh Poland you
Nobody, but NOBODY fucks with Poland.
You are tearing this family apart, Poland.
The reason Poland looks like it was practically untouched is because there were a shit ton of Jews who lived there. I can’t exactly remember what this is from, but I learned in Holocaust class that Jewish people like, unlike the others of that time (and still today of course), washed themselves on a regular basis, so they were all really clean. And I guess that made them all (not in all cases, though) insusceptible to the Black Plague. THIS IS WHY IT IS GOOD TO WASH YOURSELVES EVERY DAY. SO YOU DON’T DIE FROM A HORRID DEATH PLAGUE.
Also, the Polish kingdom closed its borders at the time. :P Plus, there is a small percentage of people that were just immune to the Black Plague and a good many of them lived in Poland.
I feel this is the appropriate time to remind everyone that Poland’s national anthem is titled “Poland Isn’t Dead Yet”. (/horrible jokes) but seriously, Poland. You go. This is the one time you don’t get steamrolled by something. Shine, you tragic little country.
Reasons why Poland is Awesome: This right here.
