Poland at war (Polónia em guerra)

In 1600-1611 there was a war that pitted Poland against Sweden. The battle which stands out is the battle of Kircholm (1605) on the outskirts of Riga. In 1621, the Poles together with the Lithuanians were at war with the Turks of the Ottoman Empire, especially in the battle of Khotyn or Chocim in Moldova.
