This is a proof why German expansionism is a crime against maths and aesthetics.

Modern Germany
>sleek and aesthetic shape
Pre WWI Germany
>ugly blob
>retaining their traditional land (except for Visla basin)
>expansionism
that baltic coastline alone is aesthetic as fuck, gave the enitre region prestige. Now it's only poverty and alcoholism
they now have their traditional land + lands east of Elbe and part of Denmark
Danzig?
Germans can't pronounce GDAŃSK so they call it Danzig
no its not aesthetic as fuck, it's broken symmetry as you can see on the OP
>traditional
East Germany always was seen as poor
if this isn't aesthetic to you then you're blind
if Luxembourg was a member state too it would be literally perfect
you got it twisted, bud
Kill all poolacks
Funny how Germans called the Russian part of Poland "Poland" if it wasn't any less Poland than the part of Poland they owned.
>The city's name is thought to originate from the Gdania River,[9] the original name of the Motława branch on which the city is situated. The name of a settlement was recorded after St. Adalbert's death in AD 997 as urbs Gyddanyzc[10] and it was later written as Kdanzk in 1148, Gdanzc in 1188, Danceke[11] in 1228, Gdańsk in 1236,[12] Danzc in 1263, Danczk in 1311,[13] Danczik in 1399,[10][14] Danczig in 1414, Gdąnsk in 1656.
but thats how it is
most of Poland was held by Russia after 1815 and Congress Poland (later Vistula Land) was its own administrative unit unlike the Polish-speaking parts of Prussia
altho Posen/Poznan was something separate (grand duchy) with a few special rights until 1840 or so, then it became a regular province
cool story
>altho Posen/Poznan was something separate (grand duchy) with a few special rights until 1840 or so, then it became a regular province
And the same happened to "Vistula Land". After 1864 it was a regular Russian province so calling it "Poland" in 1892 was pretty hypocritical from Germans.
thank you, I'm always happy to educate some Germans
Nice that you agree that it is Danzig
Why are Germans obsessed with this one city that never belonged to Germany before its illegal annexation (most of locals staunchly opposed), had little to none impact on German history, culture and economy? Gdańsk was as important to Germany as Rostock but I never saw Germans praising Rostock as if it was so relevant.
it continued to be regarded as Poland regardless of the Russification attempts and obviously was more relevant than the small territory around Posen, I don't think there's anything hypocritical about it and you're just desperate for things to complain about
>Germany retakes slavshit territories
Cringe and bluepilled
>Germany anschlusses Austria and Alsace Lorraine
Based and redpilled
>it continued to be regarded as Poland regardless of the Russification attempts
Just like the territory around Poznań, Toruń, Bydgoszcz etc. It was Poland for everyone but Germans.
Also it is even more hypocritical because you didn't call the Austrian part "Poland" despite it having the widest autonomy and the dominant Polish culture without germanization attempts only to please your Austrian allies.
>you're just desperate for things to complain about
I simply like arguing with you as you always come to Polish threads about Germany.
nobody gave a shit about Poland or maps of it at the time and Entente only began to do so during/after WW1 to weaken its enemies
Russian Poland was a separate administrative division for much of the 19th century and literally had Poland in its name, Congress POLAND
Galicia and Posen were Polish-speaking, but they weren't Poland and never called so
do you have autism or something? seething about literally nothing
btw it's not even a map about Poland lmao
>complains about autism
>on 4channel.org
go back
>doesn't address the points I made
glad to see you admit being wrong, have a nice day.
Poles being mad about Germany, Episode #72636362627
>nobody gave a shit about Poland or maps of it at the time and Entente only began to do so during/after WW1 to weaken its enemies
That's not true, foreigners who visited Poznań area also referred to this as Poland.
>Galicia and Posen were Polish-speaking, but they weren't Poland and never called so
Of course they were "Poland". Just because Bavaria doesn't have an adjective "German" in its name doesn't make it non-German
It's just German hypocrisy I'm pointing out
>THE PERFECT SHAPE FOR A COUNTRY IS A LITERAL RECTANGLE
Poles are a crime against nature.
>but they weren't Poland
lands around Poznań were called Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) since Middle-Ages
West Galicia actual name is Lesser Poland (Małopolska)
