He was polish. His father was born in France, and his mother was born in Poland grow up in Poland, and gave his son Fryderyk Polish values, and Polish patriotism.

Mikolaj Chopin (Chopin's father) was also a participant of Polish national uprising in XIX century.

The composer Frédéric Chopin (roughly pronounced "sho-pan" in English) was actually Polish, but his father was French.
