History / Poland and Hungary in September 1939 [79]

I said Poland had Slovakia as a vassal...
It was Polands, doesn't mean Polish then you know?
Like Warschau was sometimes Germany's but was it German?

Don't mix things here I have never said Slovakia to be Polish

History / Poland and Hungary in September 1939 [79]

Because it wasn't polish...

Sorry but nationalism isn't the only type of legal state idea or how a country should be.
For you it may be totally wrong for Poland to have any interesst in that area becaouse Polish people doesn't live there. Still some countires specially in thoose times (Think England vs Freance) didn't think nation but cash or wish of where they wanted to belong to.

Somehow Poland had Slovakia under their rule and nobody would object of Poland trying to get it back at thoose times. It was normal with such attitude, somehow the Hungarians had it for millenia as you said it.

BB-
Yes?
Germany too had a revolution in 1848
I know but is it my fault that Germany never prioritized to inform people about it?
Or was the people unaware of it?
Somehow Hungarians remember and are gratefull for Polish help in their uprising. Are the Germans feeling the same?

History / Poland and Hungary in September 1939 [79]

You mean like the uprisings against the commies in Berlin and Budapest?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1848

The Hungarian Revolution of 1848 was one of many revolutions that year and closely linked to other revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas. The revolution in Hungary grew into a war for independence from Habsburg rule.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole,_Hungarian,_two_good_friends

In the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 there was a notable Polish general Józef Bem who became a national hero both in Hungary and Poland.

When was it polish? The Great Moravian Empire was polish???
Wiki says afterwards it was part of the hungarian Kingdom for nearly a millennia..

Can't remember Poland ever struggling much to get it back? Cause it never happened

History / Poland and Hungary in September 1939 [79]

Well..Czechoslovakia was a child of the Treaty of Versailles/Trianon (those treaties which robbed Germany and Hungary), the same as Poland.
I would have thought Poland would muster some sympathy for the Czechs and Slovaks...:)

I ment middle ages etc, Poland had Slovakia as a vassal then later Hungary had it. They didn't fight each other over it. That was my point!

Somehow they maybe did that until it was known of Czech-Russian co-operation and Czech conflict with Hungary. I am no excpert in that area but, Czechs are somehow very diffierent then Poles/Hungarians. The fundement of the eternal friendship was from the middle ages later it got blessed forever by co-operational uprisings.

History / Poland and Hungary in September 1939 [79]

Somehow I don't remember Poland nor Hungary to excist at that time and what has some Austrian-Hungarian conflict to do with it?

...More than 80,000 Hungarians[22] and 32,000 Germans[23] were forced to leave Slovakia, in a series of population transfers initiated by the Allies at the Potsdam Conference.[24] This expulsion is still a source of tension between Slovakia and Hungary.[25] ...

I dunno...but Hungary's history shares much more with the Germans than with Poles for example!

Somehow I can't understand that thing you presented me, were the Slovaks backed by Poles? If so then it's a different matter. I can't think of Poland questioning Hungarians right to Slovakia until Slovakias excistence

I will wait for the first Hungary-Poland conflict of interest and we will see how that is handled...right? Right!

SLovakia? Somehow they didn't fight each other over it :)

As I said!
You are a mix...so keep out! :)

Yes and Swedens think you are nothing but fallovers and traitors and weaklings (Quisling)...

Yeah and Norwegians think they generally are stupid and traitors! xD (1940)
The stupid part is of a different thing

Sweeds are not the only ones of thinking that Quisling bad thing, Norway.
If they think he can legally represent Norway in any way well, that's their problem xD

BB- Man, that is exactly what I try to prove here!
If not even family "loves" each other unconditionally but clashes if interests come into conflict how can unrelated people "eternal love" each other even when a conflict should arose???

Becaouse there are facts, it happened and is happening, Hungary-Poland
Something close to it may be Serbia-Russia maybe or for that sake Norway- Denmark
I have allways said that Danes were the worst and occupied as the worst and all! But all my Norwegian friends think Sweeds were the worst xD

It is becaouse of the Danes that our language is divided hello?

BB- Scandinavians can't even stand each other.
Ehrm, we do stand each other... It's not like Poland-Russia coflict or any other...
You know how Norway got their independence? Without any bloodshed! (1905)
And you say can't stand each other? How is it possible that Scandinavians don't have any problems with each other today? Also their monarchs somehow tolerate each other very well!

Back to the topic!
Hungary-Poland relations are to be said very special cause it had borders! (The states) that ment they could have some interest conflicts but they somehow didn't have any of that!

Man Grunwald, you are a Pole who thinks german culture consists of beer and the Octoberfest...keep your comments out!
Did you ever read the Edda? I highly doubt it!

You wish! I am Norwegian/Pole

I have read it some parts of it!
And other sagaer they are forced to read in School

I remember also some Danish-German problems with German street names in Danish city's or town's. Scandinavians have maybe some common anscestry or 100% sure. But it doesn't mean they generally like Germans! Look at Russia vs other slavic nations?

Many in Norway have a high definition of Germans as nazi, when I think of Germans then yes I think

german culture consists of beer and the Octoberfest

But many of my other country mates also think that but also at the same level as nazi and hitler. I wish you could give me a fella that isn't german or indian who would say that schwastika isn't german

BB- May I remind Grunwald that the Norwegians are the joke of the Swedens??? Now that is a relationship - worse than the Germans and the Dutch! LOL

Can it be because both share a border and some unhappy history??? wink

No that's a bit wrong, you talking about Sweed, Norwegian, Dane jokes? Or general negative attitude? Yeah, in Scandinavia it was mostly Scandinavians vs Scandinavians, first non-Scandinavian intruder to Scandinavia was III Reich so...

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

Really? Is that why the number of Ukrainian-language schools went from 440 to 8? Is that why in the 1938/9 academic year only 3 Ukrainians in Volhynia were accepted for tertiary education?

I thought they were talking about Commonwealth era? o_O

History / UKRAINIAN GENOCIDE AGAINST POLES DOWNPLAYED [57]

To me, it is equivalent to praising Einsatzgruppen for "fighting bolshevism."

THere is allowed to lighten up candles for SS members in Norway or something, can't remember in detail. I think they were in Soviet union back then fighting bolschewism. I know outrage!

History / Poland and Hungary in September 1939 [79]

Scandinavia/Iceland etc. is the cradle of the germanic peoples

Still a craddle and Norwegians and scandivanians in general don't give a **** about Germans I really mean it I have countered anti-German propaganda to be more harsh in Scandinavia then in Poland.

Sure!
Icelandic Snorri Sturluson is the poet who wrote the Edda, the "bible" for all norse people if you so want! :)

Yes for all Norse, Germans are Germanic!
Keep away mixing coltures!! ;(

“With the Nazis, we lose our lives; with the Soviets, we lose our souls.... If I found my army between the Nazis and the Soviets, I would attack in both directions.”

I am soo gonna memorize that one!

Originally yes, but not everyone

I somehow have German blood in me and im not "jealous" of other ski havers, it's what you do that is important :)

Life / What really represents Polish people? What would be the symbol of Poland... [51]

you saying that Black Madonna represents "bigotry"

Todays best post!

I would have said that this picture would fit best for Poland.

Think of it forcibly build (Just like Poland after 1945)
Some kinda not nowadays but made used of (satalites at top etc, just like Poland! It's not like a westenr country but it catches up!)

The old grudge it holds but yet not destroyed!
The history it shows wich we shouldn't forget!

It all represents Poland in allmost everything!
Many look upon it as tragic! I would say it shows us everything

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

Ukrainians (and Belorussians) made about 50% of so called Dirlewanger Brigade famous for their mass killings of civilians in Wola and Ochota districts of Warsaw.

I thought it was some Russians there also?

News / The Polish-Hungarian friendship is as well as poisoned [45]

Also during that Budapest uprising Polish civilians send their blood for wounded Hungarians.

There is just en eternal friendship, even when Hungarians were on Axis side they allowed Polish forces march through their land and letting the Polish ambacy work on Hungarian soil until German soldiers marched in, 1944

News / The Polish-Hungarian friendship is as well as poisoned [45]

Not only that! They had common border with each other in the middel ages and not much warfare between them, mostly Transylvanian and Czech trubles. Also the most important thing is that under the Hungarian uprisings many Pols helped Hungarian insurgents, later Hungray helped Poland with supplies in the battle named "Miracle of Vistula" later in 1939 when Hitler asked/demanded the Hungarians to help him conquer Poland they replied that they couldn't do so becaouse of moral codes. Later in the Warsaw uprising the Hungarian division stationed there was more of trouble then help for the Germans since they gave weapons and some even joined their side for the struggle.

Also in 1953 when Polish students had done soem riots in Poland, the Hungarians marched in hundreds to support their borthers, later it became the Budapest rising!

Also it is a Polish-Hungarian day (Wich I don't know the date of shamefull) wich is included with festivals and etc.
There is a saying in Polish and Hungarian "Pole, Hungarian two brothers/friends, for fight and to party!"
"Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki, do szabli i do szklanki!
"Lengyel, magyar két jó barát, együtt harcol, s issza borát"
