About this episode
In this episode, we explore the gradual dismantling of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a vast European republic that succumbed not to revolution or conquest, but to internal paralysis and external manipulation. We examine how a political system valuing 'golden liberty' and the 'Liberum Veto' ultimately rendered the Commonwealth vulnerable to its neighbors. ?? ?? ??
