News / Poland: the 51st state of America [119]
I saw someone state something about Kosciuszko turning in his grave because Poland has such good relations with America?
Well the history proves that Kosciuszko was one of the leading foreign generals that helped the Americans in many wars. He was infact used as a forign diplomat for America. So, if anyone Kosciuszko would be very happy to have Poland as a 51st state, since he was very very well respected in Poland and America, as he fought for American independece (as well as Polish).
However, at the end of his life, he left Poland because he couldnt take the fact that the Polish were divinding their own country up (partion), so he left to America, and I belive he die somehwere other then Poland, (his body was later moved back to Poland for burial)
So to make my point short, even tho the Poles are sometimes very anti-american. The new generation of Poles have been influced by American culture so much and so many Poles have moved to AMerica, that it wouldnt be hard for this 51st state to become true (if only the EU allowed for it hehe)
