History / "GANGING UP" ON POLAND? [99]

Would you, please, expand on German Kulturkampf and how it was more violent than what Poles did in Ukraine, Bielorus' and Lithuania in 1920-1939. Just show some examples.

so I deeply apologize for having to settle for this half-assed, lame Wikipedia quote:

Maybe you should read again about the nature of this "Kulturkampf"?

The German term De-Kulturkampf.ogg Kulturkampf (help·info) (literally, "culture struggle") refers to German policies in relation to secularity and the influence of the Roman Catholic Church, enacted from 1871 to 1878 by the Chancellor of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck.

It wasn't a Kampf against the Poles or the polish Culture...it was a struggle to secularize and modernize the state, to take away some of the restricting powers of the mighty roman catholic church in regards to education for example.

...The Congregations Law of 1875 abolished religious orders, stopped state subsidies to the Catholic Church, and removed religious protections from the Prussian constitution.

In 1875, marriage became a mandatory civil ceremony, removed from the control of the Church....

Something every modern western state does now the same!

It surely was seen by the catholic Poles living between the german borders as an attack on their culture, as "germanization", but it wasn't.

Many german Catholics hated Bismarck for that too...

On July 13, 1874 in the town of Bad Kissingen Eduard Kullmann attempted to assassinate Bismarck with a pistol, but only hit his hand. Kullmann cited church laws as the reason why he had to shoot Bismarck.

History / Gdansk and it's history with Poland [116]

the town hall was built according to Polish reneissance fashion :))))

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_in_Poland

Two largest contemporary cities - Kraków (which attracted many Italian architects) and Gdańsk (which attracted mostly architects from Germany and the Netherlands) - were probably the biggest beneficiaries of the era,, but many other cities also spotted Renaissance buildings.

Renaissance painting was introduced in Poland by many immigrant artists, like Hans Dürer and Hans von Kulmbach...

essential-architecture.com/STYLE/STY-renn-pol.htm
You should pay some respect to the non-polish part of Polands "golden age" Sokrates!

PS: Honest interest here...I know about Renaissance, Barock or Gothic but how is the polish "fashion style" called?

History / Gdansk and it's history with Poland [116]

Yes, as Kopernikus was polish too...ja ja!

PS: Bohemia doesn't mean necessarily Czech in these times...

If you want to change it to Danzig you have to first come and get it :)

Why...in Germany it's Danzig.
It's no big deal that other countries tell the names of foreign cities differently...
The English call Nürnberg only Nuremburg for example...or Cologne for Köln.

History / Gdansk and it's history with Poland [116]

Interesting source Harry...

Another gem of Danzig, the Artus Court:
mhmg.gda.pl/international/index.php?lang=eng&oddzial=2

....The first court was erected on a plot of land belonging to the city since 1344, by the Saint George Brotherhood at its own expense and effort. The Brotherhood associated the knights from rich German families.
We do not know a lot about the functioning of this elite brotherhood in the first century of its existence. We only know that it was of a knight-religious nature and probably organised military exercises for Gdańsk citizens and tournaments, similar to comparable brotherhoods in Braniewo and Riga.....

The Uphagen house:
mhmg.gda.pl/international/index.php?lang=eng&oddzial=3
Obviously polish, this Johann Uphagen!

The Tower Clock museum hinting at the history
of the Saint Catherine's Church...the final resting place of the famous astronomer Johannes Hevelius.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Hevelius
...no...don't tell me...another diehart Pole obviously too! ;)

Core polish this Danzig...I'm convinced now!

Gdansk as a Royal Town of Polish Kingdom with their loyal subject germanic merchants combine Polish resources and protection and organization with germanic merchants to make monies and their international connections to import and export goods of the Polish Kingdom!
What you say on that BB?

Great!

History / Gdansk and it's history with Poland [116]

You seem to think that I claim the Hanseatic league was German: I have never said that. I said (and still say) that cities of the league were Free Imperial Cities, with the Empire being the Holy Roman Empire.

And the difference would be?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire

....The Holy Roman Empire (HRE; German: Heiliges Römisches Reich (HRR), Latin: Sacrum Romanum Imperium (SRI)) was a union of territories in Central Europe during the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period under a Holy Roman Emperor.
...
It was officially known as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (German: Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation, Latin: Sacrum Romanum Imperium Nationis Germanicæ) from the 16th century onwards....

About the free imperial cities: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_imperial_city

There are soooooo german! :)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Free_Imperial_Cities

Back to the Hanseatic League...
What don't you get about:

...The Hanseatic League (Hansa) was formed around the middle of the 12th century by German and Scandinavian seafaring merchants. Since there were no navies to protect their cargoes, no international bodies to regulate tariffs and trade, and few ports had regulatory authorities to manage their use, the merchants banded together to establish tariff agreements, provide for common defense and to make sure ports were safely maintained.

...Throughout the 13th century, the Hanseatic League remained an organization of merchants. To be more exact, it was an organization of German merchants.
Merchants who were not German and did not belong to the Hansa (so-called non-Germans were forbidden from joining the League) faced severe trade restrictions in the Baltic....

depts.washington.edu/baltic/papers/hansa.html

The EU can only hope to match the peace and wealth the Hanse once brought to Europe.
(But then again...both were/are mainly German driven so the chances are good) ;)

Back to Danzig and their Hanse history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatic_League#Expansion

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatic_League#Expansion

The Hanse not german??? :)

Poland and the Hanse:

...Kraków, then the capital of Poland, was also a Hansa city with German burghers around 1500. The lack of customs borders on the River Vistula after 1466 helped to gradually increase Polish grain export, transported to the sea down the Vistula, from 10,000 t per year in the late 15th century to over 200,000 t in the 17th century.[6]

The Hansa-dominated maritime grain trade made Poland one of the main areas of its activity, helping Danzig to become the Hansa's largest city due to its control of Polish grain exports.

And now this:

...The member cities took responsibility for their own protecting.

Polish attempts at subjugating Danzig had to be fought off repeatedly.In 1567 a Hanseatic League Agreement reconfirms previous obligations and rights of League members, such as common protection and defense against enemies.

It begins:
Wir Burgermeister und Rethe der Teutschenn Hanse Stett Lubegk, Collen, Braunschweig und Dantzigk als Haupt und Quartier Stett tun kund[7] .

The german Hanse build Danzig, ruled Danzig and made Danzig rich...tourists even now admire the hanseatic architecture of renovated Danzig!

Period!

Judaism, in my opinion, is about making the earth a holy place where mankind recognizes its creator.

Religion is a funny thing...

History / Drang nach Osten. [79]

Manno Sokrates, don't you get tired of this neverending rehearsing and "my d*ick is bigger than your d*ick? Does that have ANY effects on our present or future??? Do you want to end like Crow?

Why can't we share these lands and history?

...if everything of note was built by us Poles.

:):):)

I think I will ignore you from now on...if you don't I for sure are getting tired of this!
Amuse yourself alone...

Ain't gonna cut it. The natives have black socks. Very chic.

Interesting!
Should send a kurier to the HQ with the update....:)

History / Drang nach Osten. [79]

And here we have Lusatians well before that :))) We can play with proto expansion maps all day, including early slavic settlements in and around modern day Berlin the hard fact is that we built 90% of cities there, the first chronicles in the region are written in latin by our people, the first stone buildings are chapels built by Poles, the first roads, harbors, villages etc etc, thats hard archeological evidence

Nope, the Germanics were there before you! Before us there were only some Celts (poor sods).
You asked...:)

I guess we won't have to worry about the next invasion. :)

What invasion??? We just come over....:)
(So do you!)
There are no borders anymore. In the future the regional belonging will count much more in another generation or two.

History / World War II - a tragic story for Poland and the World [489]

That's enough to prove Copernicus was Polish.

Wishful thinking, that's all! :)

The guy probably didn't even spoke one word polish in his life...he for sure never wrote in it, only in german and latin.

What a Pole!

Question: What does it need to be a good Pole?
Answer: A famous German! :):):)

There's a whole lot of things that you don't see, BB.

I'm by no means perfect! :)

the eternal, 1000 years old friendship between the Hungarian and Polish nations.

Well...if you say so....
I only think that the facts speak a clear language.

News / Poland and Germany - Germany unhappy with the present border with Poland? [88]

who support those who live by the sword need to pay consequences for what who live by the sword do - the law of karma - if you don't have proper judgement of what is being done in your name don't moan afterwards

Karma! What crap!
What did Poland do to deserve partitions and occupation for 50 years??? Wanna tell me? :):):)

Or what did the Ukrainians do to deserve to be the poorest sods of them all during the 21th century (first starved to death, later killed from two fronts).

Usually the ordinary citizens, the women and children, bear the brunt of the consequences of the decisions of them above, their rulers, but there is nothing they can do about it!

Bad luck when you live in such times, such places, but not "Karma"!

Or....since you are so self-righteous....imagine you were a german mother and housewife in Germany during that time...what exactly would you do to stop that madness? Or what Karma are you living through?

*waits expectantly*

What i want to tell you Poljaci, you have problem. A lot of problems

Well...right now serbian warmongers are the ones with problems it seems, neither Poland nor Germany! :)

History / "Our Forgotten Allies" - Polish-American relations. [52]

Of course supporting Israel is a cause for terrorism against the west, but its certainly not the number 1 reason. If supporting Israel was the number 1 reason they why haven't there been attacks against Western Nations from 1947-2000?

Remember the cold war and the iron curtain.
Also the ME was split with the US and the SU calling the shots on both sides, controlling the adversaries, using them for their proxy wars.

(PLO fighters were even educated and trained in Warsaw pact member states whereas Israels army was largely founded and supported by the US)

After the soviet empire fell all broke lose and the arabs found themselves without any structure at first to control their resistance whereas the position of Israel got strenghened of course.

It was during this time native groups and organization developed, grew and fighted each other for control now that Moscow had lost interest...one of them Al Quaida.

Those groups who could show off the biggest and most spectacular attack against the old enemy would get the most support and interest from possible new members...

The rest is history....

History / World War II - a tragic story for Poland and the World [489]

Maybe because you don't like to wear Turkish clothes :)

We hate it!!! :(

Meanwhile, in 1683, as usual, Europeans gathered in order to beat Turks as they can not make war one-to-one with us.

Nun ja...at this time there was no "Europe" but lots of little, squabbling statelets - compared to the mighty, unified Ottoman Empire.

It is still astounding that the Europeans agreed to stay united so long to fight you!

You see? Turks bring out the best in Europeans! :)
Even now most Europeans are united in wanting to keep you out....should tell you a thing or two!

But, I have to say that we lost mainly because of Poles.

Brownnosing again?
Just a tip: to gain something it's the german arse you need to lick. The Poles won't get you anywhere...:)
