“Poland from sea to sea” (Polska od morza do morza). This slogan is most often associated with the 16th century and the period of the greatest power of the Polish Republic. And although the question of actual Polish rule over the Black Sea coast is quite complicated and not obvious, this direction has long occupied an important place in the history of our country.
Jan Kochanowski in his work entitled “Satyr or Wild Husband” (Satyr albo Dziki mąż) wrote:
Tymci Polska urosła, a granice swoje
Rozciągnęła szeroko między morza dwoje.
“This is how Poland grew, and its borders / Stretched wide between two seas.”
