The Poles love a good powstanie, or uprising, the tradition of which can be traced back to the very inception of the Polish state back in 966CE, when Mieszko's Christianisation of the Slavic tribes did not sit well with everyone in the kingdom.

Thus the so-called 'Pagan Reaction' triggered what would seemingly become a recurring pattern of squirming under the status quo, outright rebelling against it, or resisting oppression from foreign occupants.

According to one source we found, Poland was invaded and fought for freedom 43 times alone between 1600 and 1945. As you'll see from our own list of notable uprisings below, the legacy of one resistance movement was often part of the catalyst for a later insurrection.

Back to the Future: The Zastava 101 Adventure

Today we hop in the old IYP time machine and go back to the future! Or something.

We've also upgraded from Michael J Fox to William J Dunn III of Manchester, England. Although it looks like it's from the 1980s, this video was actually shot in the summer of 2010, and the epic voyage that's being discussed never took place, but it's never too late to revisit the idea if we get enough interest.
