"Sometimes it is difficult to understand how the life of one person living hundreds of years ago affects us today... this is the case of Prince Wilkomir Michał Jazłowiecki-Ostrogski.
The author of many books that are classic today, inventor, patron of science, education and art, military commander, but this is not what distinguishes him from other people of his time... he is distinguished by the legacy he left behind. Although Wilkomir Michał Jazłowiecki-Ostrogski has never been a King in the literal sense of the word, but he can be called the most important and influential man of his era.
However, it was only his children and grandchildren who sat on many thrones of Europe and and it was they who formed the continent we know today, all thanks to the 'Sibling alliance' established in 1698. Which included the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Saxony, the Kingdom of England and Ireland and the Grand Duchy of Moldova.
The members of the alliance were known to have pursued a policy of isolationism and did not interfere in the affairs of other European kingdoms, which, for example, led the Holy French Empire to conquer half of the Kingdom of Spain when a request for help was rejected. However, this policy changed as the threat approached the borders of the allied countries.
When the Holy French Empire moved east in the middle of the 18th century to conquer the land that once belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, it was the "Sibling Alliance" that stopped the advance of the army belonging to the Emperor Louis XV, also known as Louis the Beloved.
This alliance survived unchanged for the next 103 years, until 1801, when the Empire of Japan joined the alliance due to the Kingdom of England, it was the first and last time that someone outside Europe joined this alliance and was not related in any way to Prince Wilkomir Michał Jazłowiecki-Ostrogski... and it was due to Japanese-English ambitions that led to the outbreak of the First Chinese War and the division of this country between the Empire of Japan, the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Grand Duchy of Moldova. The Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian Commonwealth gave up territorial gains because of too great problems with the management of the territories of Siberia and Alaska. Similarly, the Kingdom of Bohemia gave up all territorial gains in China due to the increasing conflict on the border with the Kingdom of Italy..."
