Tomorrow is 71st anniversary of death of Prussia!

If only the Prussians succeeded in wiping out any notion of Polishness before departing from this world.

Ah well, I guess we can't have everything.

>nice Reich you have here, shame if something would happen to it
>this destroys German hopes and dreams

The funny part is so called "Western Prussia" was ethnically Polish. My Polish family name was one of the most popular amongst Prussian generals

Prussia is the best, dude.
And don't drink pussy champagnes, but an ale!

What's wrong with Prussia?

We remember our fallen masters here in Chile.

Nope guess again.

The dissolution of Prussia was the liberation of Germany.

Nothing, some faggots are just triggered by how the germans fucked the french and the brits over after all the times they were bullied by these two groups.

Germany was a strong and feared country then though.
Now they are only known for giving gibs on a national scale.
I mean they still control europe but the modern method isn't as impressive or respectful.

Wrong, Prussia is the source of all of Germany's bad traits

The Prussians fucked the British over how?

It's so sad that there are no longer any Germans left in the eastern territories.
Ostpruessen had been majority german since the 13th century.
You'll never truly know what a German Danzig or Konigsberg was like.

>It's so sad
not really

>You'll never truly know what a German Danzig or Konigsberg was like.
Today? Probably full of Somalis,Turks and Syrians.

Prussia was fucking gay and so are you

Literally the most richly deserved act of ethnic cleansing in human history.

>The Germans were forced to live in Germany
The fucking horror, truly the worst thing to ever happen

Sad? Ha! Maybe they shouldn't have started a war and lost like bunch of plebs.

They were lucky that Germany was even allowed to continue to exist after the shit they pulled.

why am I looking at dongs here?

But look at what we got instead, tovarisch!

Prussia and Silesia were german at the time though.
There is no official "germany" in the way you are speaking like there are official boundaries for continents.

Are you trying to make me a Wehraboo?

They complained on end about the Polish wanting to kill them, then the problem gets solved and they want to go back to that. Germans are fucked

Anti-German cancer on Veeky Forums unirionically reawakened my Germanbooism.

1848 was the last shot they had to not be a shit, should have supported those Frankfurters

I agree on the latter part. Yet, when I try to start a thread on 1848, it sinks to page ten with a handful of replies while the latest "BASED HARRIS JEREMY MUST PARISH!" spam stays on page one for three days before hitting bump limit.

I don't really get that, I mean I shitpost about Germany too and it's absolutely deserved for wehraboos but the 1848 alt-his potentials are really interesting

>Prussia and Silesia were german at the time though.
They were Polish and Czech with some German settlers and their descendants

KEK.
In 1848 the German Parliament was talking about "bringing the war to the Slavs" and were cheering murdering Poles in Poznan.

What was the context?

>Ostpruessen has been majority german since the 13th century
u wot

Strict Wildness: Discoveries in Poetry and History

Peter Viereck - 2017
But in many important instances his so-called liberal opponents were not only nationalists but militarists, racists, antiSemites, or proto-fascists, like the Slav-hating, war-glorifying Jordan, a leading “1848 liberal,” whose oratory influenced the Frankfurt assembly to put nationalism before liberalism in the dispute with Polish liberals over Posen.18 It is noteworthy that, when forced to choose between liberalism and nationalism, most liberals chose the latter.

Nothing, it just triggers Polacks so hard their asses explode whenever the name Prussia gets mentioned.

yes
west prussia and Opole were certainly more polish, but pomerania, east prussia, and lower silesia were very much majority german.

>using a fake map from Wikipedia made by Germanboo

Here, German map based on GERMAN census from 1910 how really distribution looked like

Is it true that Kashubians were fence-sitters who Prussia essentially bullied into identifying as Poles?

Is there more to this map? I knew the polish corridor was majority polish, and the map I posted does not deny it.
The parts that were part of Weimar Germany would be nice.

It's really interesting how much truth their is in the whole myth surrounding language and the tower of babel.

Or to put it another way, how many wars would not have been fought if both sides spoke the same language?

>Probably would have been replaced by other wars over ideology/religion instead of nationalism.... the energy flows and the only thing that can prevent violent conflict is the desire to not fight.

Presence of Germans in Silesia was overblown.

>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.

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. (...)"

I'm gonna celebrate

There probably would have been just as many wars and in different things (instead of identifying on language, people can identify just as well on ethnicity or religion), but there have been quite a lot of wars which happened historically due to translation issues
Probably the most famous and direct for causing a war was a translation error in an Ethiopian-Italian treaty, when the text in Italian said Ethiopia was a protectorate of Italy, while the Ethiopian text said no such thing : they went to war over that, and the Ethiopians won.
As part of the Franco-German Armistice of 1940, the French fleet was supposed to be under German "control." Control in this sense was the French word, contrôle, implying supervision. One reason why the English sperged out and sank the French fleet was because it sounded like it was under greater German power than it was.
Or UN Security Council Resolution 242 which has an English text which can be interpreted as only requiring Israel to withdraw from some Palestinian territories, while the French text requires withdrawal from all... you can guess which versions are used by each side (they are both technically equal)
More recently the Georgian-Russian 2008 war had a flare up afterwards because a phrase in French or Russian or English (forget which one, they were all used in the negotiations) was improperly translated, and so a region wasn't evacuated and fighting started afterwards.
