The 1920 Battle of Warsaw, known as the 'Miracle on the Vistula,' where Polish forces defeated Lenin's Red Army just 12 miles from the capital, prevented communist revolution from spreading across Europe and established a border that Stalin later used to justify invading Poland in World War II, with similar arguments now employed by Putin to claim Ukrainian territory.

The Battle That Saved Europe From Communism (1920)Added:
Did you know one battle in 1920 saved Europe from communist revolution? When Lenin's Red Army reached just 12 miles from Warsaw, it seemed like Poland would fall and communism would sweep into Germany and beyond. But Polish forces pulled off the impossible, the Miracle on the Vistula. This forgotten victory stopped Soviet expansion for decades.
The border it created, Stalin later used it to justify invading Poland in World War II. Today, Putin uses identical arguments to claim Ukrainian land, while Poland once again leads European resistance against Russian expansion.
