"The Battle of Grunwald"

The Battle of Grunwald, fought in 1410, was a major conflict between the Teutonic Knights—a powerful military order—and the allied forces of Poland and Lithuania. It took place in what is now Poland and was part of larger struggles over territorial control and influence in Eastern Europe. The Polish-Lithuanian alliance decisively defeated the Teutonic Knights, significantly weakening their power and influence. This victory is considered a turning point in regional history, symbolizing the decline of the Teutonic Order and the rise of Poland and Lithuania as major powers in Eastern Europe.
