For the first time in 1683, troops led by Polish King John III. Sobieski crushed the Turks at Vienna. This ended the serious threat of the Islamisation of Europe and began the push of the Ottomans out of Eastern Europe.

For the second time, the Polish army inflicted a heavy defeat on the Red Army in August 1920 at Warsaw. This marked the definitive end of the Bolshevik dream of exporting socialism to European countries and the alliance of the Red Army with the German left-wing revolutionaries. Otherwise, there would probably have been no force that could have stopped the export of the Marxist revolution. It can be said, therefore, that our continent, especially the eastern part of it, would thus remain spared for several decades from communist repression and crimes that involved great terror and the death of many millions of people and would not have differed much from the Nazi horrors. Even the Russian Bolsheviks purposely exterminated whole sections of the population, whom they branded as class enemies.

The war ended with the Peace of Riga

The fighting between the Poles and the Soviets ended with the signing of the so-called Peace of Riga on 18 March 1921 in the Latvian capital Riga.
