Peace in Central Europe for 70 years

>In the Saar:
Either peace if the Germans are expelled by the French or strikes like after WW1, possibly guerilla warfare.
>Territories given to Denmark and Netherlands:
Likely no real problems, but revival of nationalism in the German minority within years.
>Eastern territories:
No problems if there are expulsions like IRL, otherwise strikes and possibly guerilla warfare.
>Republic of Germany:
Depends of whether or not there are Allied troops. Revival of nationalism within years.
>South Germany:
Depends of whether or not there are Allied troops. Revival of nationalism within years.
>For the whole of Europe:
Lasting economic downturn, weakening of the Western Allies, strengthening of the USSR, possibly annexation of the German states by the Soviets (depends on whether or not the Western Allies occupy Germany).

>No problems if there are expulsions like IRL, otherwise strikes and possibly guerilla warfare.
Not really. The lands OP gave Poland were mostly Polish to begin with. Germs were a minority there.

The Polish presence in contested regions is clearly overrepresented in that image.

Still several million Germans, pic related

It's not. It was always core of Polish culture and identity.

...

Krauts love to overpaint everything to make themselves look good.

Almost entire Silesia spoke Polish.

It wouldn't be very good. It would likely lead to guerrilla warfare for decades and a rise in nationalism.

Without it, there was peace in Central Europe for 70 years.

Those broad stripes are quite vague.

That image doesn't support your previous image when it comes to the areas around Belarus/Lithuania and Ukraine.

>That image doesn't support your previous image when it comes to the areas around Belarus/Lithuania and Ukraine.
I'm

>Almost entire Silesia spoke Polish.
In 1910, Upper Silesia was 40% German and 50% Polish. I wouldn't call that the entireity of Silesia. Also funnily enough, 60% of Upper Silesia preferred to remain in Germany.

>Krauts love to overpaint everything to make themselves look good.
Lmao, that's why the map is in German

>In 1910, Upper Silesia was 40% German and 50% Polish. I wouldn't call that the entireity of Silesia. Also funnily enough, 60% of Upper Silesia preferred to remain in Germany.
Krauts rigged the votes.
Anglos are Germanic thefore untrustworthy.

German settlers coming to Silesia since the second half of the 13th century, called the native Slavic population of this land "Wasserpolen", and in further centuries this name was also extended into slavic speech of inhabitants of Silesia: "Wasserpolnisch Michsprache". A German geographical description of Silesia from year 1689 notes - for example - that between Oława and Kąty Wrocławskie "sehr polnisch redet". In Kąty Wrocławskie (Kanth) in year 1641 almost half of all artisans / craftsmen belonged to a separate, "Polish artisan guild". One of first decrees of Frederick the Great from year 1764 was directed against the Polish language - by this decree German language was introduced as official language and by the same decree from 1764 it was forbidden to employ in schools teachers who did not use German language. Restrictions for Polish language in schools and offices were introduced.

Initially, Germanization affected the area of Lower Silesia - especially all large cities located in that area. The city of Wroclaw (Breslau) thanks to German settlement became a bilingual city. Gradually Polish language was being replaced by German language in Wroclaw, but nevertheless for a very long time the right bank side of Wroclaw, located on the eastern side of the Oder River, was being called by Germans "Polnische seite". Even a document from as late as 1789 says that population living in the suburbs of Wroclaw was still using Polish language.

In the 19th century Jerzy Samuel Bandtkie wrote:

>"The capital city of Silesia has many Polish-speaking inhabitants, because already 1,5 miles from Wroclaw there are entire Polish-speaking villages, and just 2 or 3 miles from Wroclaw there are entire parishes with majority of Polish-speaking populations, located at the Oder River."

In a brochure from 1791, an ethnic German pastor from Breslau - J. W. Pohleg - wrote:

(Source: J. W. Pohleg, "Der Oberschlesier verteidigt gegen seine Widersacher", published in 1791):


>"(...) What is the native language here in Silesia? Because rather not German? Basing on the names of cities and villages in a particular land, we can establish without any doubts, what was the most common language in this land when those cities and villages were built. What do words such as Glogau, Bunzlau, Wohlau, Jauer, Breslau, Brieg mean in German language? Nothing. On the other hand, in Polish language all these words have their meaning! Isn't the conclusion, that when those cities were built, Polish was the regional language in Silesia, true? Isn't this thus true, that accusing a Lower Silesian of speaking German language is more justified than accusing an Upper Silesian of speaking Polish language?* There is so much ignorance shown by your agitators**, who complain so loudly. The thing which they criticize,*** is rather worth praising. Honestly, how pitiful is a nation, which is jeering at people due to their mother tongue - people who are not at fault for using it - and the ones who are mocking, have not enough virtues to judge others genuinely and earnestly. (...)"


* He wrote this after Frederick the Great started oppressing Polish language in Silesia.

** He is writing about agitators of the Prussian king - Frederick William II.

*** And this thing is the fact that Upper Silesians spoke Polish language.

>Krauts rigged the votes.
Doesn't make the first part of what I wrote wrong.

Józef Ignacy Kraszewski during his trip to Breslau from 1869 wrote:

>"(...) Germanization even until this day was not able to fully obliterate traces of old, Slavic extraction. Wroclaw is, we can already say this today, a half-polish city, because its part behind the Oder River, near Tum, even nowadays is called polish* and we can hear Polish language being spoken by inhabitants already in the suburbs of this city. (...)"

* This district of Breslau was called by Germans "Polnische seite".

And an ethnic German scholar - dr Partsch - in his book "Schlesien" from 1896 wrote:

>"(...) It is hard to believe, how could such a thing happen, that on the western side of the Oder River, in the Ohlau District as well as in the vincinity of parts of the Breslau District and the Strehlen District, there could survive completely compact territories of Polish-speaking inhabitants, which includes within its boundaries many important roads and which extends in all directions from the large center of transport that the city of Breslau is. (...)"

Peace, less aggressive Germany during Cold War

Are you retarded?
Without this shitty plan there was peace and Germany was totally non-aggressive in the Cold War.
With this shitty plan, there would be guerrilla warfare everywhere.

Cimbination of Morgenthau´s and Kaufman´s plan would be ideal. Also rest of the G*rmany should be annexed by surrounding countries that know how to act civilised.

>Morgenthau, Kaufman

Nice German surnames. Kinda pathetic that the jews usurped them cause they can't even have their own.

In all honesty they should have changed their own surnames to Domanico and Achete-homme.
