Kaszubians (Polish: Kaszuby; Kashubian: Kaszebi) are a west Slavic culture in Pomerania, Southern Baltic and northern of Poland. The country is known as Kashuby. They speak the Kashubian language, classified either as a separate language closely related to Polish.
Kashubians are grouped with the Slovincians as Pomeranians. Similarly the Slovincians and Kashubian language are grouped as the pomeranian language, with Slovencinan being either a closely related language or a Kashubian Dialect.
== History of Kashubia ==
======
=== Pomeranian Tribes-1000 AD ===
Polish people started travelling up of Poland and many people settled there, but since they were isolated from the Polish motherland, they were much more influenced by Germanic and Pomeranian tribes causing a slight language change. The Kashubian language is inbetween Polish and German but the people are Polish from DNA.
=== Polish invasion of Pomerania-1268 AD ===
In the year 1268, Poland decided to claim and attack Pomerania before the Holy Roman Empire would, this meant that Kashubian settlements were under the control of Poland, most people were fine with it and some joined the army. 
=== Christianization of Kashubia- 14th century ===
Since the Polish influence was there in Kashubia, people would leave slavic paganism and become Christians. Churches were built and Slavic temples burnt down, some small villages stayed in the Slavic religion and had no wars with Christianity.
=== Polonization of Kashubia- 15th century ===
After the Kashubian people being part of Poland for over a hundred years, they accepted the Polish language as the second language, the government would build schools around the region in order for the population to learn the Polish language.
In general the language was changed a bit with a few words brought into the Kashubian language by Polish leaders and the language would be more similar to Polish than German. Some people out in the farms still spoke the original language but then after time became associated with the new laws of the language.
Kashubian settlements became big and some Polish people migrated into there making cities bigger, the most popular city today is Danzig. The Polish people would have Kashubian as their second language and interacted with Kashubians, although some people wanted their own nation, they were fine with the Polish government as they were treated well and had a powerful army.
=== Fight for independence- 1570-78 AD ===
The people started getting fed up after a new king came into power, who forced Kashubians to have Polish as their first language and did not allow the Kashubian language  publicly. It started off with small protests in Gdunsk and after it got bigger, the king ignored it until March 1570 when the king ordered knights to kill them. Many Kashubians were armed and declared independence and fought for eight years.
Battle of Gdunsk:
42,000 Kashubian knights gathered outside of Gdunsk to capture the city, and the Polish sent 38,000 cavalry. Due to being slightly outnumbered Poland was forced to retreat from Gdunsk to Grudziadz. The city was fully controlled by Kashubians and gathered more men to fight for Kashubia, ending in an army of 67,000 knights.
Battle of Grudziadz
43,000 Kashubian horsemen were sent to Grudziadz, where 29,000 Polish mobilized knights were. Kashubians launched an attack which lasted for 2 days and beat the Polish with no mercy. The Polish king was forced to accept the Kashubian independence and gave all their territory conquered to the Kashubians.
Battle of Koningsberg
Since there were many Kashubians living near Koningsberg, the Kashubians leader declared war on the Holy Roman empire in order to annex Koningsberg. 32,000 Cavalry men were sent against 12,000 Germanic soldiers and due to being outnumbered, the city was lost and annexed to Kashubia.
=== Invasion on Poland(Partition of Poland)-1768 ===
Poland fell into a civil war and the Kashubian leader Igar Moscecki decided to invade important cities like Torun, Bydgoszcz and Warmia. After the civil war ended the Polish signed a deal with Kashubia for peace, but unlucky for Poland, Germany, A-H and Russia partitioned them a few years later.Kashubia was at its highest extent
=== Prussian Invasion of Kashubia ===
After tensions between Prussia and Kashubia, the Prussian leader declared war on Kashubia sending 260,000 men against 117,000 Kashubian men. The battles lasted for 4 years until Prussia reached and surrounded Gdynio and Kashubia surrendered. Kashubia was whipped off the map under the Prussian control.
=== Kashubia in WW1 ===
Kashubia was still in the hands of Prussia(Now Germany) in 1914 and all the way throughout WW1. Some Kashubian men joined the Prussian army to fight the Russians off. After Germany was defeated, they still held Kashubia but Poland gained some of its land and cities like Torun and Bydgoszcz after an uprising.
=== Kashubian Uprising- 1927 ===
In 1920 there was a new group formed in Gdynio to free Kashubia from Germany and 730,000 people signed up for it but only 210,000 people joined the para-military. People started coming out on streets protesting against Germany, then German Soldiers would open fire on protesters and Kashubian para-militants declared independence and fought the Germans for 2 months straight, gaining Koningsberg, Gdynio and other former Kashubian Cities.
=== Kashubia during WW2 ===
When Poland was invaded, Kashubia took the advantage and took some land but shortly after Germany declared war on them and annexed them, defeating them in 24 days.
In 1944 when Poland launched and uprising in Warsaw, Kashubia supported them with aid and made their own uprising in Gdynio which lasted for 1 and a half month.
In 1945 when the Soviets were on the attack, Kashubian paritsans joined the Soviets and helped in defeating the Nazi empire.
=== Communism in Kashubia ===
After WW2 in the Yalta conference, people agreed that Kashubia would be a USSR satellite state and made a communist government, this lasted for another 50 years until Kashubia protested against the USSR along with Hungary, Polish States and other Warsaw pact members.
