Daily reminder: Hitler did nothing wrong. Promise you this is worth your time.
Today's thread involves the German invasion of Poland. Here's all you need to know.
>After WW1, Germany suffered significant loses of territory despite Germany's sovereign status.
>European treaty tradition followed a principle known as "status quo ante bellum" or the state existing before the war. However, contrary to European international precedent, the Treaty of Versailles violated this principle. The Reich did not return to the state prior to the war and their emperor was even forced to abdicate.
>The Danzig/Polish Corridor that unites East Prussia with contiguous the German state was given to Poland. The excuse of granting Poland access to the Baltic Sea fails in the face of criticism as it would be more logical to grant Poland the territory that would become Lithuania instead of the Corridor. But, remember the purpose of Versailles was to cripple Germany. Dividing the military industrial heart of the Reich from contiguous Germany was intentionally.
>Prior to the conclusion of WW1, Poland had not existed as a state since 1795. For the 123 years prior to the end of WW1, that territory had largely been German (Prussia and Austria) and was home to many ethnic German peoples.
>Nearing the end of WW1, Germany had secured a treaty with the fledgling Soviet Union that gave Germany virtually all of historic Poland. The German-Soviet invasion of Poland and its subsequent division was actually rather generous for the Soviets given the prior Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
>After Versailles, the new Polish government began pursuing policies of reversing historic German "germanization" of the Polish Corridor. This came in the form of population displacement. The Polish government contracted settlers to flood into the ethnic German land and displace German peoples. In international relations, this is called ethnic cleansing. 1/4
>The population of Germans living within the Polish Corridor fell from 421,029 to 175,771 between 1910 and 1921. In the subsequent decade, the German population fell by another 70,000. From 1910 to the rise of the National Socialists, the German population within the Polish Corridor decreases by a total of 32.9%. The Polish government was practicing a policy of ethnic cleansing. This amounted to the removal of German families who had lived in the area for many consecutive generations.
>Hitler rose to power democratically on a position of strong German nationalism and his feirce opposition to the unprecedented Versailles. The purpose of the German state, in his eyes, was to provide one country for wthnic Germans. One people under one flag. A Germany for Germans. As revealed above, Poland followed a similar policy, a Poland for Poles.
>Nazi Germany sought to unravel Versailles and unite Germans under one flag. Germany finally united with Austria and Germany expelled the French from the Rhineland. Germany acquires the Sedutenland which was home to many German nationals. Czechoslovakia had historically been an Austrian province.
>Finally, there was the matter of the Danzig Corridor. Like in Austria, Hitler pushed for a plebiscite within the province so that the people could democratically decide whether they wanted to be a part of Poland or a part of Germany. Of course, Poland has everything to lose and nothing to gain, opposing the demand all together. Another aspect of Hitler's settlement would be that Germans who were expelled from the Corridor could also participate in the plebiscite, regardless if they even lived there anymore.
>Only to further complicate matters between Poland and Germany, the Poles had intentionally disrupted traffics between Germany and Prussia. 2/4

>On top of that, The German Ministry for Transport established the Seedienst Ostpreußen ("Sea Service East Prussia") in 1922 to provide a ferry connection to East Prussia, now a German exclave, so that it would be less dependent on transit through Polish territory.
>Connections by train were also possible by "sealing" the carriages (Korridorzug), i.e. passengers were not forced to apply for an official Polish visa in their passport; however, the rigorous inspections by the Polish authorities before and after the sealing were strongly feared by the passengers.
>In May 1925 a train, passing through the Corridor on its way to East Prussia, crashed because the spikes had been removed from the tracks for a short distance and the fishplates unbolted. 25 persons, including 12 women and 2 children, were killed, some 30 others were injured.
>In 1925 the Polish government enacted a land reform program with the aim of expropriating landowners. While only 39% of the agricultural land in the Corridor was owned by Germans, the first annual list of properties to be reformed included 10,800 hectares from 32 German landowners and 950 hectares from seven Poles. The voivode of Pomorze, Wiktor Lamot, stressed that "the part of Pomorze through which the so-called corridor runs must be cleansed of larger German holdings". The coastal region "must be settled with a nationally conscious Polish population.... Estates belonging to Germans must be taxed more heavily to encourage them voluntarily to turn over land for settlement. Border counties... particularly a strip of land ten kilometers wide, must be settled with Poles. German estates that lie here must be reduced without concern for their economic value or the views of their owners'.
>Prominent politicians and members of the German minority were the first to be included on the land reform list and to have their property expropriated. 3/4
Caleb Flores
>The creation of the corridor aroused great resentment in Germany, and all post-war German Weimar governments refused to recognize the eastern borders agreed at Versailles, and refused to follow Germany's acknowledgment of its western borders in the Treaty of Locarno of 1925 with a similar declaration with respect to its eastern borders.
>Institutions in Weimar Germany supported and encouraged German minority organizations in Poland, in part radicalized by the Polish policy towards them, in filing close to 10,000 complaints about violations of minority rights to the League of Nations.
>Poland in 1931 declared her commitment to peace, but pointed out that any attempt to revise its borders would mean war. Additionally, in conversation with U.S. President Herbert Hoover, Polish delegate Filipowicz noted that any continued provocations by Germany could tempt the Polish side to invade, in order to settle the issue once and for all.
Key takeaway: POLAND THREATENS WAR WITH WEIMAR GERMANY.
>Hitler attempts to settle hostilities between Germany and Poland. He requests a German railway connecting Germany and Prussia, but this would effectively require an annexation of the Corridor. In return, Hitler offered a non-aggression pact with Poland. Poland had previously rejected the anti-commintern pact despite her war with the USSR a decade earlier. Poland insisted on maintaining access to the Baltic... which could've been achieved by united Poland and Lithuania once more instead of dividing and expelling the German peoples. 4/4

Germans are literal niggers who funded Lenin and gave him free trip to Russia(with a railway wagon full of gold) and if it wasn't for us holding the Soviets at bay they would get wrecked by their own communist revolution. Just like the US funding islamists in the 80's, Germans played with fire and got burned, they have only themselves to blame for it.
They've ruined half of the continent because they wanted to get Russia out of the war. That's how short-sighted they were.
They cry about treaty of Versailles but it was nowhere near harsh. In 1871 the reparations French paid to Germany were proportionally harsher than the ones Germany had to pay in 1918. They still weaseled out of paying by starting hyperinflation in the early 20's. The German way, as you see is to ruin its own economy to get out of reparations and then cry about reparations anyway. But that's not all - treaty of Brest-Litvosk was harsher on Russia than Versailles was on Germany(not to mention that it was negotiated and signed with the commies, rather than with provisional government).
Majority of this board is American, so you have no historical perspective on how does German mind operate. They're scheming backstabbers who cry as they punch you. We invited their colonists to our land under pledge of loyalty in the medieval period and few hundred years later they started claiming this is their ancient God-given German land("Sudetenland" btw. is literally the same deal). We allowed one of their knightly orders to get some land if they Christianize it and become our vassal and the next thing after murdering the locals was raiding our border villages and towns. We allowed one of their princes to take the throne of our vassal state for a promise of, again - becoming a vassal - just to get backstabbed by them during the deluge.
Why the fuck would anybody side with those assholes?

Poland literally did not deserve to exist.
Daniel Ross
It’s not that, it’s the fact that Poland has never won its own independence just has been given it by other people at the end of wars when everyone else was too tired to fight anymore. There was no justification in giving Poland the territory they got at end of WW2, especially since Germany is yet again strongest country in Europe. It’s a shame Pomerania and Silesia aren’t German
Oliver Turner

But don't think that I'm telling you stop spreading the truth. I'm just saying that you shouldn't become discouraged when the blind inevitably come along and bitch at you to shut your eyes as well.

Of course Poland won it's own independence hamburger. Defend it from bolsheviks in 1919-21 war. 25 years later Germans were too weak to defend their own country agains the same bolsheviks and loose the war.

Your numbers don't seem to work. >421,029 to 175,771 That's almost a 60% drop. >fell by another 70,000 Now we're at a 75% drop.
How are you getting 32.9%?

Hudson Ross
>Germans were too weak to defend their own country agains the same bolsheviks And by that logic you were too weak to defend against the Germans. So what does that say about you? Maybe you shouldn't think about war in terms of winning/losing. That's such a niggerish way to think about it. Besides, wars are necessary because they act as a kind of hard reset button for societies that grow weak, where the degenerates are purged and science and technology are advanced tenfold because for once there's a fire lit under everyone's asses. Germany still came out on top after the war because of the massive amounts of infrastructure left over that made rebuilding a lot easier. Now they economically dominate the EU. Commies may have occupied the land but in the end they won nothing because they killed all their farmers like fucking retards, and so they starved themselves into collapse after decades of limp dicked and financially irresponsible leadership. >b-b-but mudshits Their economic success has afforded them such a surplus of wealth that they're now attempting to feed and house the entire third world. It's truly amazing that even with the most incompetent leadership that they're able to take so many of these worthless subhumans without feeling it economically. Instead, they're feeling it socially with the rapes and the bombings. Once again, this will spark a war and the mudshits will be purged. This is how things have always been because history is cyclical. You're not special either, and you'll be in a factory or in a trench when things heat up again.
You'd do well to understand these things, Poland.

>Prior to the conclusion of WW1, Poland had not existed as a state since 1795.
>Czechoslovakia had historically been an Austrian province.
You might also expand the second of these statements (as you did the first). The first suggests that a Polish historical claim is invalid, and the second suggests that a German (Austrian) historical claim is valid. I don't know if you need to specifically contrast the two points, but it'd be good to clarify the second, perhaps.
Interesting thread.
Logan Bell
>It actually originates with Nietzsche Yes, absolutely. It wasn't the thousands of years worth of wars that humans have spent fighting that have led to the widespread adoption of this black and white mindset, and no one ever brought up this exact point before it was all thought up by a guy born in the 19th century. Makes perfect sense.

The brits got taken over by Germans and their jew bankers in the Glorious Revolution of 1695 thereabouts. Total slaves to jew bankers. Look at how far you've fallen. You think you've won and yet at every turn you're betrayed by a mysterious enemy. Your vanity will never let you see this truth. And no you're not "Canadian". Les Habitants du Canada are the real Canadiens. You're just interlopers. You have no idea what to do with your land. For sure you don't actually want to do real physical labor so instead you sell it to the Chinks so you can life the life of a gentleman of leisure then you wake up crying because the streets are full of Chinks that want to spit on you.
