This document discusses what makes Poles Polish through several key characteristics. It notes that Poles are known for their remarkable work ethic, as they are Europe's second hardest working nation spending on average 42.5 hours per week working. It also discusses the strong value Poles place on hospitality, often hosting large meals for friends and family during holidays. Additionally, it outlines Poles' strong sense of democracy and freedom after struggling for self-determination for much of the 20th century. The document also describes Poles as indomitable for their many uprisings against foreign occupation over centuries and their courage in battling Nazi and Soviet invasion in World War II.
To understand the appeal fascism had to Catholics before and in the beginning of World War II, you must understand the history of the Spanish Civil War, where the Communists who came to control the Republican faction were guilty of murdering priests and monks and nuns by the thousands. Fascism both the enemy of the Communists and the friend of the Church in Europe before and in the beginning of World War II. The Communists were hated by many Christians for the many thousands of Orthodox and Catholic priests they martyred in the early years of the Russian Communist Revolution.
The Nationalists under the fascist General Franco were also guilty of atrocities. The Nationalists massacred liberal teachers. Sometimes the public executions by Nationalists and Republicans were public events. Also, the German Luftwaffe pilots practicing their new blitzkrieg bombing strategies. In the infamous bombing of Guernica, the German pilots destroyed a church and then circled back for target practice on those who were fleeing from the church. In the years immediately after the war Franco continued his massacres of Republicans.
Although the Luftwaffe blitzkrieg bombing campaigns of the Spanish Civil War definitely served as practice for the dive-bombing in the Nazi invasions of Poland and France, the Spanish Civil War was really more like the Battle of Stalingrad that helped turned the tide of war in Europe. In both conflicts both sides stubbornly fought just viciously for a propaganda victory, never willing to strategically retreat, readily accepting massive military and civilian casualties.

Holocaust in Poland. During the II World War, jewish and non-jewish residents of Poland have suffered from Hitler Germany's ruthless policy. In particular, Hitler was aiming to kill every single jew in the world. Jews predominantly were living in Poland, Germany constructed extremination and concentration camps, as well as ghettos within the territory of Poland, in order to ruin them very quickly.

Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, 1989
On November 9, 1989, thousands of jubilant Germans brought down the most visible symbol of division at the heart of Europe—the Berlin Wall. For two generations, the Wall was the physical representation of the Iron Curtain, and East German border guards had standing shoot-to-kill orders against those who tried to escape. But just as the Wall had come to represent the division of Europe, its fall came to represent the end of the Cold War. In the White House, President George H. W. Bush and his National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft, watched the unfolding scene on a television in the study, aware of both the historical significance of the moment and of the challenges for U.S. foreign policy that lay ahead.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. We all know the French are superb at
making wine, the Brits are great sailors
and that nobody can play football quite
as spectacularly as the Brazilians. But
what is it that makes Poles Polish?
3. According to a recent
report by the European
Committee, Poles are
Europe’s second hardest
working nation. The report
shows that professionally
active Poles spend on
average 42.5 hours per
week working. 'No work, no
cake' goes the old Polish
saying, and indeed
nowadays Poles stand out
because of their
remarkable work ethic.
4. Another Polish saying goes: 'A guest in the
house, God in the house'. Hospitality plays a
crucial role in Polish culture. Poles often
choose to entertain guests in their
households, which on many occasions
involves the preparation of a proper, home-
cooked meal by the hosts. A spectacular
display of Polish hospitality takes place during
the Christmas and Easter celebrations when
people invite numerous relatives and friends
over for meals that often feature a whole array
of home-made dishes.
5.
6. Poland is sometimes called a young
democracy, but ironically Polish
democracy in fact dates back to the
14th century, when the first state-wide
Polish parliamentary gatherings
occurred. Poles struggled for
freedom and self-determination
throughout the 20th century, and as a
result democratic values are
considered especially precious.
7.
8. Some might consider calling Poles
'indomitable' surprising, since Poland was
once partitioned for over a century.
Nevertheless Poles were perceived as such, for
instance, by the great Argentinian writer Jorge
Luis Borges. There are a number of good
reasons to share his view. Whenever Poland fell
to foreign powers, Poles would rebel over and
over again. Admittedly, most of our uprisings
turned out to be crushing defeats, but that
didn’t break our spirit ‒ we would simply
prepare for the next rebellion. In the end, here
we are, free and prosperous.
9.
10. Poland was the first nation to stand up to Nazi
Germany when Hitler invaded in 1939. Shortly
after this attack, Poland was also invaded by
the Soviet Union and for some time battled
against the two great powers at once, showing
tremendous courage. During World War II, the
penalty for lending assistance to Jews was
death. Nevertheless Poles are the most
numerous national group among the Righteous
Among the Nations, people decorated by
Israel’s Yad Vashem Institute for rescuing Jews
from the Holocaust.
11. In the 1940s, the Soviet Union imposed
communism on Poland. This system led to
many absurdities such as food stores
having nothing but vinegar in stock. These
realities forced Poles to become resourceful.
For example, the so-called 'line committee'
was a solution for those who needed to wait
in line for a very long time. It was possible to
register your place in the queue with a
committee formed by a group of volunteers,
and therefore leave the line without losing
your spot.
12.
13. After the fall of communism in Poland in
1989, the average Pole gained the freedom to
run a private business. That’s when it became
clear that we are a highly entrepreneurial
nation. Back then, very many people founded
their own small businesses, taking advantage
of the possibilities offered by the new
capitalist system instituted in Poland. Today,
several Polish firms opened after 1989, such
as the bus and tram manufacturer Solaris and
the video game company CD Projekt
‒ creators of the Witcher series ‒ are among
the most respected companies in the world.
