P.S. I won't even mention all the Ukrainian vojvodships, which on your map are marked with dark yellow and not green colour for some reason.
I know it has many shrotcomings, but as I said, it is the only map of that ****** kind available on the Net. :):):):)
It was Austrain partition zone (the poorest one). Secondly after 1918 (partition) Poles have started to industralize this arena.
First of all, during Austrian partition Poles in Galicia region had advanced autonomy. They governed such branches as economy, culture and education. Also, Poles took part in the main Austrian government, twice a Prime Minister was Polish.
The 5-year long project was initiated by a famous Polish economist, deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Treasury, Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski. Its goal was to create a heavy industrial center in the middle of the country, as far as possible from any borders, strengthen the Polish economy and reduce unemployment.
As for COP, it was never implemented in Eastern regions, so you are talking about plans, not reality.
After 1918 there was no nobility and slave laubor was forbiden.
No nobility?? So, who owned land in Galicia after 1918??
In 17 century Polish peasants had the same life las Ukrainian one ...
Yes. You suggest that Poles didn`t develop their own country, neither Ukraine.
Nothing. Look at Germans and what they did in their partition zone which is in Poland today - they built and developed infrastructure, railways, roads, facilities, cities, which stand till today and are used by Poles in 21 century.
It was the Poles. Greater Poland always was one of the richest regions in Poland.
It isn`t only about Wielkopolska. Look at the map of railway network in today`s Poland. Do you see the difference between the east and west?
It was even worse in Ukraine. Despite partitions, Poles controlled economy in Galicia all the time. Since 14 century when Lvov was incorporated into the Polish kingdom till 1939, when Nazis-Soviets dismembered Poland.
What is more I see that you don't know history of Western Poland and use harmful stereotypes..
Look at my stereotypes in the railway map. :):):):)
I am not talking about invading them but they shouldn't receive anny support form Poland as long as thy haven't payed compensations.
I would prefer to call it a draw. Both nations harmed each other in the past and it is time to settle all conflicts. What you propose, is provoking more conflicts between Poles and Ukrainians.
Let me ask, whose interest is it if Poles and Ukrainians are conflicted??? :):):):)
Are you German agent ? LOL :)
Even if I am an agent of a foreign power, I am Polish and I am talking about matters which are vital to Poland. What about you? :):):):)
Ukraine is neo - nazi country oppressing half of its citiens. Gloryfing people who murdered Poles... It is going to be worst Polish enemy.
I can see you are really losing your temper here. Man, calm down. :):):)
Brutal methods such as beheading, disembowelling, and killing with knives and axes were employed against Polish people. In addition to the UPA, Ukrainian peasants also participated in the violence, and large groups of armed "bandit" marauders, unafiliated with UPA, brutalized civilians. The estimates of the number of Poles murdered in Ukraine range from 100,000 (Edward Prus, 2006) to 500,000 (Norman Davies, 1996)
Hmm, maybe the brutality of Ukrainian UPA was a result of Ukrainians` good memory? Who massacred a few hundred (300) Ukrainian inhabitants of Lvov (together with 70 Jews) after the city was captured by Polish forces in 1918? As you gladly quote Norman Davies above, read an excerpt from his book "Ethnic Diversity in Twentieth Century Poland."
At the end of a long battle for the city, elements of victorious Polish soldiery went back into certain streets and massacred inhabitants. An estimated 340 innocent people were killed. About 2/3 of them were Ukrainians. The remaining 70 or so were Jews.Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko joined several public Ukrainian organizations in calls for reconciliation, pensions, and other benefits for UPA veterans that would equate them in status with the veterans of the Soviet Army, and aid the understanding of their role in the chaotic times of UPA operations. In 2007, president Yushchenko awarded the title "Hero of Ukraine", the country's highest honour to UPA leader Roman Shukhevych.
Joining or calling isn`t the same as passing the law. Do you see the difference? Here, in Poland, various groups also call for sth, but does it mean that all Poles support it?
