Clothing in Poland?

i think that this whole discussion doesn't make sense at all. in most European cities people dress more or less the same way.

nowadays among polish teenagers the most popular clothing item are nike or converse shoes, or for girls: ballet flats. guys tend to wear la coste/ hilfiger/Hugo boss shirts or polo-shirts and really dark jeans. girls wear dark skinny jeans and slack tunics or dresses and leggins.

women wear skirts or dresses, but the most common clothing is again skinny jeans or any other type of jeans. high jeels are very popular. flip-flops are a rare view.

as it comes to casual clothing lots of men wear shirts, elegant jackets and casual trousers for example jeans.

shoes, bags and all the accessories are a very important part of your look.

so, that's how it is in Warsaw.

in Kraków people try to wear clothes that match their personality, they have their unique (not to say weird) style.

as far as I'm concerned in Poland it's like that: the bigger the city, the better the style. :)

if it comes to places like Auschwitz you should look humbly and tidily, it's not a good place to show your legs or chest ;].

in most churches it's ok not to cover your arms or legs, but to acceptable limits.

at the seaside or Mazury (lakes) you can wear almost whatever you want.

have fun in Poland.

During the period between 1820 and 1865 the main crop grown in the south was?

In the 1840s and 1850s (but well before and for some time after), the most important crop in the agricultural region of the American South was cotton. By this time known as "King Cotton", the bumper-crop of the South was so lucrative (because it was so much desired around the world) that it was almost exclusively raised by Southern planters. This strength was also the South's weakness, as it undermined more general agricultural and industrial development while also committed the South to maintaining (and even growing) its slave population.

Was Lithuania once part of Poland?

Lithuania was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (one of the largest states in Europe) and formed an alliance, and personal union with Poland in 1385 (The Grand Duke of Lithuania and the young Queen of Poland effectively marrying the two nations together). Together they conquered the Teutonic Order in 1410. This treaty signified the beginning of a long, extremely close relationship between the two.

In 1569, they signed another treaty that bound them even closer together- as a commonwealth. It was a new and revolutionary form of government. Together they became the primary rye producers (also known as 'the breadbasket') of Europe. Their relationship continued until Prussia, Austria and Russia began the partitions of their land between 1772-1795. After the final partition, Lithuania (and Poland) was wiped off the map until it regained independence 1918. So no, Lithuania was not part of Poland, but a great commonwealth based on a close relationship between the two nations. The Jogaillan dynasty was also Lithuanian (The Polish Royal Line).
