Miracle at the Vistula - 1920 during the Polish - Bolshevik war

Before the Miracle at the Vistula, both the Bolsheviks and the majority of foreign experts considered Poland to be on the verge of defeat. The stunning and unexpected Polish victory in the Battle of Warsaw crippled the Bolshevik forces. Over the coming months, several more Polish victories would secure Polish independence and eastern borders. For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Warsaw_(1920)
