The adoption of the Act of 23 Sept 1922 on the construction of Gdynia port by ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Parliament is considered the formal beginning of the port of Gdynia. The works on its establishment, however, commenced much earlier... ๐Ÿงต

The favourable int'l situation, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles & the restoration of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ access to the sea constituted an incentive for the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ gov to take action. The needs of the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ trade were to be secured by the Free City of Gdaล„sk, located within the customs area of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Image
In 1920 there was aย conflict regarding the blocking of shipment of arms to ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ during war w/๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ, calling ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ warships at port. The need to build the own sea port became apparent. In 1920, Kazimierz Porฤ™bski appointed Mr Wenda, the engineer to choose the place to build aย future port. Image
Mr Wenda not only presented aย proposal of the port location, but he also designed it and was appointed the construction manager of the port. Image
In 1930s, the port of Gdynia began to compete with other ports of the Baltic.ย  Large hinterland and favourable investment conditions brought success in the global market. The day before the outbreak of the #WWII, the Port of Gdynia was aย modern and fully equipped port. Image
The development of Gdynia had influenced not only the development of maritime economy, but the whole reorientation of the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ economy โ€“ as much as 80 % of Polish export and 65 % of import were realized by sea until 1938โ€ผ๏ธ Gdynia had become and is still ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ window on the ๐ŸŒ. Image
Seizure of Gdynia by ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช on 14 Sept 1939 brought an end to the development of the port. During #WWII Gdynia was the base for the ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Navy and one of the most important centres of the armaments industry and thus became the target of allied forces air rides. #ReparationsForPoland Image
After the war ended special institution was established in order to restore the port to life. 1964 ended the process of removal of war damage in the port of Gdynia and the port reached the pre-war volume of shipments as late as in 1965 ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ

The Saxon Palace was one of the most distinctive buildings in prewar #Warsaw. It was destroyed by Germans in #WWII.
A ๐Ÿงต:

#PolishHistory #Poland #ReparationsForPoland #BeLikePoland #unredeemed #ReparationsNow #Paล‚acSaski

The Palace, erected as a result of the expansion of the 17th-century palace of Jan Andrzej Morsztyn (a leading poet of the Polish Baroque), was rebuilt many times in the following centuries. During the Second Polish Republic, it was the seat of the General Staff of the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Army. Image
After the destruction of the Palace by ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช, the only trace of it that remained was a fragment of the 3 central arcades with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldierโ€“a symbolic grave commemorating the nameless soldiers who died in the defense of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑโ€

Less than 4๏ธโƒฃ years after the @BalticPipe_PL construction agreement was signed the #BalticPipe project is about to become operational on Oct 1 & will be filled with as much gas as is needed to make ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ independent from ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

This is why it's of key importance, a๐Ÿงต:

#BeLikePoland Image
#BalticPipe is a strategic #gas infrastructure project with the goal of creating a new supply corridor in ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ market. The new pipeline will allow transport of gas from ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด to the ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ and ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ markets, as well as to end users in neighboring countries.

#BeLikePoland #EnergyIndependence
Through the pipeline & the ลšwinoujล›cie LNG port, ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ would be able to bring in as much gas as the country currently requires โ€“ 17 billion cubic meters a year. As a result, #Poland will not be at mercy of possible blackmail from #Russia.

In 2003 the organizers of ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญOpen gifted @rogerfederer with a ๐Ÿฎ Julliette. "I'm going to learn how to milk it. I'll do anything for it" #Federer said back in the day. But what happened to the famous Moo thereafter? As a proud Permis B holder for years, let me give you the downlow
Roger #Federer quickly renamed his cow Ganga, and he soon became a proud bovine grandfather as Ganga gave birth to a calf. The calf was named Edelweiss. The duo, however, didnโ€™t stay in the #Federer household for long. Ganga was sold at a livestock auction in Gstaad. Image
Unfortunately the fame didn't last long and in 2005 because of old age and lack of milk, Roger #Federerโ€™s first cow was slaughtered. Image

๐Ÿš‚ @PKP_SA celebrates its 96th birthday ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‰ #OTD 26.09 the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ state railways were established.

Here's a little #history๐Ÿงตon its origins (for all #train buffs & railfans)

#PolishHistory #Poland #History #railway #travel #tourism Image
Although much of the infrastructure within the borders of newly-independent ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ had been destroyed during #WWI, ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ was very quick to reestablish its railways. New lines sprang up allowing for economic development and integration. Image
The railways and their unification was not an easy task as some had to be rebuilt to standardise tracks across the lands of the former partitions. Finance was also a major issue: foreign capital was sought โ€“ to little avail.

#OTD, Sept 23, 1939, due to heavy artillery fighting Polish Radio @thenews_PL stopped broadcasting. Before this happened, listeners could listen one last time to a #Chopin concert performed by Wล‚adysล‚aw Szpilman.

Broadcasting the program was no longer possible without electricity from the Powiล›le Power Plant.ย The damage was too extensive to allow for ongoing repairs. The audience had to say goodbye to the radio.

From Russia with Gas โ€” @tvp_info reveales @donaldtuskEPP's "love" letters to #Putin. Shocking words, reflect the essence of the Civic Platform diplomacy. Amongst others documents include references to the partitions of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ & to tsarist ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ. #energysecurity #RussiaIsATerroristState
The editors of Jedziemy revealed a previously unknown letter from Donald Tusk to Putin from June 2008. The content of another document with which the then Foreign Affairs MP @radeksikorski traveled to Moscow to meet Lavrov were also published. Image
In January 2008, Sikorski traveled to Moscow to meet with ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ politicians. According to @tvp_info, Sikorski presented an analysis drafted by the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ MFA during the meeting. The analysis consisted of several points that were to constitute a new "philosophy of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ-๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ relations". Image
