Are you saying that Germans invested in Eastern Poland?

germans who really love following rules and orders

they invested in Eastern Germany aka Prussia

>autistic Germans with a gun fetish
What is there to know?

>germans who really love following rules and orders
You're gonna have to be more specific.
Why did Poland get it after WW1?

They were essentially a bunch of faggots who realized they couldn't get away with calling themselves the Holy Roman Empire anymore because everyone found out they weren't Holy, Roman, or even an Empire; so they thought up another cool name but realized it was already taken (Russia), so they slightly modified it like no one would noticed. There, saved you from a bunch of boring shit and propaganda post.

more like anus, amIrite kraut?

Becouse we have lost the war?

>t. """germanic""" s*lesian
LMAO

i have a family album in my grandmothers house but ya know 2:45 eu

Does Poland frown on Silesians?
Fair enough. That's pretty damn cool though, got any stories at least?

>Who were they
Unironically majority of them was germanized Wends (mostly Poles) and Balts (Old Prussians)

Prussia was the country that inspired the romanticism movement. They were highly nationalist/militaristic but at the same time were the center of the European scientific world and philosophical world for entirety of the 19nth century

This poster just seems butthurt, HRE=/= prussia and the name Prussia was in use for centuries. Prussia simply means near Russia

He died from a pole when the russians were coming to berlin and yes poles hate silesians
believe in your memes kek

>germanized Wends (mostly Poles) and Balts (Old Prussians)
People are still going for this meme? Some were of course, but the majority were not

>philosophical world for entirety of the 19nth century
So, like Nietzsche then?
ayyo hol up
so you be sayin you was Prussianz?

turbo autists with insane military tradition even by german standards they were huge spergs

>So, like Nietzsche then?
Yes but even more importantly Hegel, Marx, Engels and Schopenhauer

you know the prussian clay is the richest in Poland
if not we the germans they would still live for 100$ a month in the eastern part

>Marx
We're reaching unprecedented levels of irony here.
I think the communists are more to blame, but since Marx really came from Prussia...
Ebin

>Prussia simply means near Russia
What the fuck are you talking about Preußen and Rußland aren't even similar in German

I believe in genetics you silly ukrainian ape

prussia is an example of krauts' greed
they were strong, but they thought they were the strongest

Whether you like Marx or not his impact on philosophy and politics was incredibly important, the dialectic as proposed by Hegel and further interpreted by Marx dominated philosophical thought

Basically, Prussia started out as a bunch of Baltic tribes in what is now Kalinengrad Oblast and the surrounding area. During medieval times, the Catholic Polish nobles asked for help from the Holy Roman Empire against the tribes because the tribes were raiding their lands, and the people were pagan. The HRE then created the Order of Teutonic Knights to fight the pagans, and eventually a crusader state was carved out of it. Over the next few hundred years, this state lost and gained land in Poland, and Germanised the populace. Eventually when the Protestant Reformation came about, the Hochmeister of the knights converted to Lutheranism, and turned the Order into the Duchy of Prussia. This duchy started gaining power in what was the HRE at the time by absorbing other states around it, and inheriting the Duchy of Brandenburg. This state, and the Austrian Empire, dominated Central Europe for a couple of centuries. With the introduction of heavy nationalism in the 19th century, as well as the destruction of the HRE by Napoleon, the Prussian state was able to become a kingdom, and dominate the entire German region with several wars against select enemies, mainly Austria and France. After these wars were fought, the local lords in what is now called Germany elected the King of Prussia to be Kaiser of the German Reich. This Reich lasted from the mid 1800's until right after WW1. After the war a revolution happened and turned the Reich into a republic, which was then called the Third Reich under the Nazis. After WW2, this state became East and West Germany, and then finally a unified Germany.

TL;DR Prussia was a bunch of Baltic tribes conquered by German knights and Germanised. They then eventually became a unified state, and ended up dominating the area of Germany until they fully unified it into Germany, and then subsequently lost half of it.

keep being butthurt silly poorlak why don't ya whine on some site that Germany dont invest in eastern pooland

Not OP, but I think Germany had the single strongest military in 1914.
>the dialectic as proposed by Hegel
I'm pretty shit at philosophy, could you explain Hegelian dialectics like I'm a five year old?

Kek, see if you trust genetics so much

Thanks for the very detailed response, Canabro. That is genuinely informative.

>and then finally a unified Germany.
Bro, you don't understand, nothing has been unified.

this post is wrong on so many levels i have no idea where to start

There's just one Germany right now. Are you talking about the old territory in Poland / Alsace-Lorraine?
H-how so?

Howdy Germanic servants! Check it out, I'm made of Gold!

I'm not a philosopher but I will try to explain. hegelian dialectic was a theory set by Hegel that history goes through certain periods that are a reaction to one another, first a thesis and then an antithesis follows and eventually a settlement between the two. Hegel believed Prussia was the end result and the perfection of the dialectic in history, Marx believed communism would be

There is Austria, there are the Netherlands, there is Flandern, and yes, there are Prussia and Silesia.

Watch this short video my friend it will tell you everything about german ''''''people''''''
youtube.com/watch?v=4ztOV2wrrkY

of course they had, but they always thrived for more - germany's position is a bit weird in europe.
they're strong enough to maintain the key role in europe, but not strong to estabilish dominance.
they also always hated poles which turned out aganist them, eventually.

>H-how so?
Because Poles hate Prussia and germans, not one positive thing can be discussed about them unless of course this Prussian person was secretly a germanized pole.

Just watch this thread notice how angry poles will get and how much they will shitpost

Thanks, user! I don't have any philosophical explanation to give in return, but let it be known that I appreciate the post.

i like when they are butthurt about us when we are the 2nd richest region in Pooland

Insidious. Petty. Presumptuous. Cowardly.

>will it happen?
No.
It doesn't even matter as there are no German people left.
Austria and the Netherlands are still deutsch, but god knows how long.

Oh shit that's a reference.

>I thought they would be angrier at the Russians desu given Katyn and the Iron Curtain.
They hate them both equally, historical bad blood between the two

see

Don't lump willy in with those subhumans

Does that make them useful American pupp-uh...allies?

>I must unite the Germanic peoples under one flag
>Except Austrians, fuck those guys

>all these meme responses
Prior to the formation of Germany, the German people were divided up into a bunch of small countries, as a relic of the HRE. Prussia was the largest, most powerful of these countries other than Austria, which was composed of lots of ethnic minorities. Prussia was effectively the leader of the German reunification. The Prussian king became the German Emperor

Eastern Poles will do everything for muh america
Silesians just want money nothing more

Make Germany great again.
What is the first richest?

It's all about fuckin miners
Literally worse than everything
Nuclear power when

Guess which state stole a lot of money from Western Poland and still looks like shit and is shit? (Mazowieckie region)

Expect Warsaw
It's only good city in this country

do you read news about your country Poorlak? until 2030 they said that we will have 2 nuclear plants
Warsaw is the worst capital in europe it looks like shit

Polish civil war soon?

>We fought for Europe by killing 38 million Europeans and destroying it's Eastern part.

Wait, are you a woman?

if Germany would back us we would but solo is just suicide

I hope soon
We need Free City Warsaw

I am a grill.

germany's government would back the wrong side

Like Danzig?
Germany would send their migrants to you though.

Kill your self faggot.

10 mln vs 100 is kinda shit we've got the volkswagen fabrics but even with tanks it would be hard

good thing poland has officially two capitals :^)

>that fucktard again
I already explained it to you in another thread some time ago that you understand fuckin shit about genetics. Vast majority of German R1a is specifically Slavic and Baltic subclades, you fuckin idiot. So indeed, they were mostly germanized Wends and Balts.
People like for example Friedrich Nietzsche, Paul Nipkow, Theodor Kaluza, Gustav Kirchoff, Rudolf Virchow and many, many more important Prussian personages were all germanized Poles. Funnily enough even anti-Slavic Gustav Kossina was a Slav kek.

Now gtfo from here, you disgusting 1/128 Prussian heritage nigger.

if migrants mean that my region will finally reunite with vaterland i can take milions of them

>America

That's loyalty right there. How many other Prussians are there in Polan?
Who? Is he related to Donald Trump?

He is based. He made Poland great again but now we have commie party and they are making everything JUST

dunno a lot of Poorlaks came to Silesia becouse they were too poor

Could have bastardized some of it, but if memory serves, this is the history of Prussia.

the whole polish industry cars steel mining etc

>when the syndies push you too far
Syndies?

No the R1a subclades you claimed were exclusively slavic were German. They have samples from 2500BC in Germany, a millennium before the existence of the slavic people that show R1a subclades in Germany. The Corded Ware culture brought both R1a to Germany and Poland before the existence of either group. The guy was also 75 percent genetically west european, so autosomally he looked more similar to modern Germans as well(if you ignore rapefugees of course)

No they don't
The national debt is rising at speed of light

Read a book, Irom Kingdom is pretty good, probably better than Sup Forums which is full of perma butthurt Polacks and the likes who had their shit pushed in by the Prussians and still aren't over it.

Just one thing: Prussia is the only state in history abolished by decree, that's how important it was deemed to Germans by the victors of WW2.

Why are you curious about Prussia? Also what state are you from?

I heard socially they are good but economically they are shit

>Why are you curious about Prussia?
I was watching The Great War on YT and I realized I barely knew what Prussia even was.
>Also what state are you from?
Texas.

>vote for a polish party
>its shit
who would have guessed kek

This guy gets it.

>Tusk
>Based
>He made Poland great again

The day of the rope is coming you fucking german, soviet, silesian, jewish, cocksucking, communist, subhuman, traitorous, socialist, manfucking, folskdojcz, piece of shit, cumstain.

Poland is a fucking joke that even Poles laugh at now. It's hilarious and sad at the same time .

>le ebin meme president

kys my men

this post is right

Prussians were pagan balts that were germanized by the Teutonic knight crusaders, also, the State was known as Kingdom of Prussia, but the most important part of the Kingdom was Brandenburg, where Berlin is.

Those 2 territories were not connected, there was Polish land in between.

It is similar to how Sardinia wasnt the most important part of the Savoy Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Kingdom of Prussia ended up unifying Germany, and they went to war against other German States, Poland, Austria and France to do that.
They were very militaristic, and thought Polish people were scum. Much of their territory in the east had Polish majorities.

One of the big what ifs of History is what would have happened if Austria had created Germany instead of Prussia.

wrong post I'm talking about this piece of shit
