Yeah none, except Poland.
In a pill, during 130 years Poles fought 5 uprisings, 2 of which were regular wars which gave the occupants a run for their money, they established a continous underground thriving education system and kept their culture alive and thriving.
Some of the best Polish writers and poets come from the partition era writing about? Independence.
Then Poland goes peacefull for 40 years only to rise in arms the second an occasion comes which proves no one assimilated, no one gave up, everyone was waiting and the entire nation took a chance the moment it came.
In light of this it didnt matter whether the chance came after 130 or if it would come after 300, if our history under partitions doesnt prove we're absolutely unbendable regardless of time or odds i dont know what does.
Why would that be arrogant?
