Warsaw is one of the most important education centres of Poland. It is home to four major universities and over 62 smaller schools of higher education. The overall number of students of all grades of education in Warsaw is almost 500.000 (29.2% of the city population; 2002). The number of university students is over 255.000.
Warsaw remained the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth until 1795, when it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia to become the capital of the province of New East Prussia.
In the course of the Invasion of Poland, Warsaw was severely bombed, and in the course of the Siege of Warsaw approximately 10 to 15% of its buildings were destroyed.
Warsaw is home to over 30 major theatres that are spread throughout the city, including the National Theatre (founded in 1765) and the Grand Theatre in Warsaw ([1]) (established 1778).
Warsaw (Polish: Warszawa) is the capital of Poland and its largest city.
Warsaw is notable among Europe's capital cities not for its size, its age, or its beauty but for its indestructibility.
All higher education institutions were closed (since subhumans needed no education) and Warsaw's entire Jewish population -- several hundred thousand, some 40% of the city -- herded into the Warsaw ghetto.
