Summary/Abstract: The 1860s stand out politically – among other things – because of the Civil War. This iswhere the major paradigm shift happened: Darwin’s work On the Origin of Species by Means ofNatural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life was published. Inthis decade the situation of religion in Europe changed in the connection with the Fall of theChurch State. This calendar shows the development of various fi elds and also builds a pictureof the Polish situation compared to other European countries.
