1812 twice

The War of 1812 was a military conflict, lasting for two-and-a-half years, between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, its North American colonies and its American Indian allies. Seen by the United States and Canada as a war in its own right, it is frequently seen in Europe as a theatre of the Napoleonic Wars, as it was caused by issues related to that war (especially the Continental System).

The central issue for both Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I was control over Poland.

 Each wanted a semi-independent Poland he could control. As Esdaile notes, "Implicit in the idea of a Russian Poland was, of course, a war against Napoleon." Schroeder says Poland was "the root cause" of Napoleon's war with Russia but Russia's refusal to support the Continental System was also a factor. In 1812, at the height of his power, Napoleon invaded Russia with a pan-European Grande Armée, consisting of 650,000 men (270,000 Frenchmen and many soldiers of allies or subject areas). The French forces crossed the Niemen River on 24 June 1812. Russia proclaimed a Patriotic War, while Napoleon proclaimed a Second Polish war. The Poles supplied almost 100,000 men for the invasion-force, but against their expectations, Napoleon avoided any concessions to Poland, having in mind further negotiations with Russia.

Išmestosios eilutės„Pieśń Legionów Polskich we Włoszech“.

Niemiec, Moskal nie osiędzie,
Gdy jąwszy pałasza
Hasłem wszystkich zgoda będzie
I Ojczyzna nasza.


Kaip tik anie laikai.

Ar tik nebus šito himno ir Galo Anonimo pagalba Palių dvasiai Lenkijoje padėta "apsispręsti" nuo "prieš Vakarus" link "prieš Rytus"...
