Best allies in Europe

On below picture You can see king of Poland Stefan Bathory and Russian delegation asking him for peace. This is during surrounding of Pskow by Polish Army. Stefan Bathory was Hungarian and is considered to be one of the best kings of Poland. Also Hungarians have a graet hero who was Polish and I've heard that some Hungarians even think he was a Hungarian. I mean of course Joseph Bem, called by Hungarians Daddy Bem or something like that. I think that Polish and Hungarians are exceptional example of very long 1000 years friendship in Europe's History. This friendship started in 11th century when Polish and Hungarians were fighting together against Roman Empire of German Nation and it lasted throughtought the history. Even if Poland and Hungarians were in opposite camps like during WWII there wasn't any hostility. I don't know other such examples in Europe History. Maybe Serbs and Greeks? What do You think about it and do You know others such allies, but I don't mean examples like Estonia and England friendship cause this countries are far away and didin't have any cause not to be friendly. I mean neighbours like Poland and Hungary  

Maju, Your historical knowledge is unfortunately very limitted. Hungary didin't play any role in Poland's partitions because in times of partitions 1772- 1795 there wasn't Hungary. Austrio-Hungary begun in 1866. In times of partitions Hungary were in very bad situation. They were forced to live under Habsburg rule. So Your statement about Hungary taking part in Poland's partitions is ridicoulos.

The same with Poland's taking part in invasion of Hungary in 1956. This one of most stupid opinions I've ever heard. Hungarian uprising started because Hungarians wanted to support Polish workers demonstration in Poznan. Hungarian revoulyion started on the square wit monument of hero of both nations Jozef Bem. Polish army didin't take any part in Hungarian revolution. In Poland there also was a crisis and many people were killed during riots and polish army send to Hungary could lead to blow. polish people showed a lot of help to Hungarians in this difficult period for Hungary and even communist couldn't oppose it.

So I think above prove Your wrong. Though You are right about some conflicts in Middle Ages and later but I did say there was such. But it was all small conflicts.

i don't know where this Poland-Hunnary myth always comes from. a) they don't share a common border, unless Slovakia is a made-up country. b) Poles dislike their shared king (Louis of Anjou) who is considdered great by the Hungarians but abd by the Poles.

Myth was born in the 19th century and its authour was a romantic Hungarian poet.

Altough it must be said that when Hitler wanted Hungary to take part in war against Poland, Hungarians refused. Later during Warsaw uprising some hungarian units in the area of Warsaw supplied insurgents with arms.

No, it wasnt farce. But Lithuanians dont like us today. I guess they think that we wanted to steal their land or somthing like that.

The Anglo-Portuguese Alliance started in 1294 and continues to today and is probably the oldest lasting alliance in the world today.

Polish Hungarian alliance started in the beginning of XI century so it is much older than English - Portugal, although I must say it came to my mind when I think about European allies.

But you know that Hungary always had a special status in the Habsburg domains... it wasn't just another silly province, like Croatia or Voralberg... it was one of the constituents: Austria, Hungary and Bohemia.

You can say that the dynastic interest of the Habsburg weren't those of Hungary... but that could apply to any other country living under an absolute or even constitutional monarchy...

If we follow that criterium, then Spain and France have always been excellent neighbours: they have only fought each other when they had dynastic disputes, like Navarre, Netherlands, Germany of thr France Comte... You can say the same about France and England, Spain and Portugal, etc...

But actually the rulers of Hungary, helped in the destruction of Poland twice: under the Habsburg and under the fascist regime.

Maju, I'm sorry I exatereted saying that Your knowledge of history is limited, but You must understand that Hungarians had to fight theirs position in Habsburgs Empire during theirs uprisings and decisive was Uprising 1848.

Poles dislike their shared king (Louis of Anjou) who is considdered great by the Hungarians but abd by the Poles.

I must say he was nothing special but his daughter married Prince Wladislaw Jagiello and is considered as saint. Stefan Bathory was a very good king Poland and he was a Hungarian. Hungarians are called for help now.
