Video Discription |
A brief overview of the shortcomings of the Polish Electoral Monarchy and Government during the Early Modern Age.
Note: This video is not necessarily meant to be against electoral or republican systems of government, but it is meant to illustrate the weaknesses of the Polish “republic” and explain why it was so vulnerable during the last few years of its existence.
