First of all he was born in ToruĊ and spoke Polish.
Second of all G*rms (Teutons to be more precise) wanted to kill him (they raided the city he lived in) and would probably be happy to burn him on a stake for spouting heresy. Also Martin Luther considered Kopernik's ideas to be retarded.

Probably polish but IIRC the German and Polish identities really didn't exist at that time.

Why would you even think he was a germ?
Jeremiah Diaz
He was a Greek.
Lucas Brown
He's Polish by the same logic Marie Curie is French-Russian.

Probably because while it was part of the Commonwealth the area previously was under the Teutonic Knights. Tbh he was probably of Baltic Prussen descent if anything.

There is rather no point in arguing with Germans, I've met many German students at my university who claimed that Kazimierz Funk was a Pole living in Germany so he was obviously German and Kopernik was a Gereman living in Poland so he was obviously German too. You can't argue with this type of reasoning.

>prussian
No such thing, Prussia was an artificial creation of Poland
Luis Russell
Fighting against the Teutonic order doesn't mean he wasn't German, many Germans in what became royal Prussia were against the order. That argument doesn't work.
