In the beginning of the 15th century, the war between Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Moscow broke. In 1514, the Moscow army captured extremely important for strategic reasons Smolensk stronghold, and the great Lithuanian‐Polish victory in the Battle of Orsha stopped the march of the Moscow army to Vilnius, yet did not alter the fate of Smolensk. The second major opponent of Poland and Lithuania remained Teutonic Knights. In 1519‐1521, the last war of Poles with the Teutonic Knights was waged. After lost war with Poland, the last Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Albert of Hohenzollern, adopted Lutheranism and transformed the monastic state into secular duchy (the Duchy of Prussia). Additionally, in 1525, he paid homage to the Polish King, Sigismund the Old. In the result of the crisis of the Monastic State in Livonia, the war for its land between the Polish‐Lithuanian Commonwealth, Russia, Sweden and Denmark broke out.

FOREWORD It is worthwhile spending a moment to consider the problem which emerged after the conclusion of the second world war. It concerns the naming of the part of the former territory of Prusia, which was incorporated into post-war Poland. In view of the unfortunate traditions of German Prussianism and the associated worst possible memories, nobody wished to call this territory Prussia although it was to a substantial degree still inhabited by the indigenous descendants of the ancient Prusai, who saw no need to leave the land of their forefathers and talked of themselves us “ We are not Germans but we are also not Poles, we are locals”. After the war Stalin carried out another successive crime by ordering the deportation to Germany tens of thousands the descendants of the Prus people from the territory annexed by the USSR, the so called Kaliningrad region.

Autor ma świadomość, że słowniczek może nie obejmować całości słownictwa historycznego występującego w języku angielskim, toteż prosi o wyrozumiałość i ewentualne uzupełnianie go o nowe słowa i zwroty. Słowniczek obejmuje zarówno słownictwo typowo historyczne, ale także ogólne, które może być pomocne przy translacji tekstów historycznych. Zawiera także nazwy pewnych wydarzeń historycznych, zarówno z historii Polski jak i powszechnej. Piszący te słowa ma nadzieję, że choć trochę wspomniana praca pomoże studentom w poznawaniu i tłumaczeniu anglojęzycznych tekstów historycznych. Przygotowując jakąkolwiek pracę, pojawiają się czasem drobne pomyłki i przeoczenia, więc i w tej materii autor prosi o wyrozumiałość, jeśli takowe zostaną zauważone.
