History / Actually, there never was any Polish-German hatred [149]
I second that. The colonies were the bounty as well. That's why there was Afrika Korps, that's why the war extended to the Pacific. We can concentrate on Jews in Poland all we want, but forgetting that in the first years of the war German, American and French armies already fought over Africa is losing the big picture. This was the World War, not Polish war.
The US has benefited the most of the territorial gains. It's also painted as a good guy, but let's not forget their dirty undies - they camped in Berlin, check point Charlie, and no further. There wasn't much Jew saving, but there was millions of German POWs starved to death. And there was poor Poland, happily stuffed in the bag with the East. Maybe they Americans though all Slavs are the same, but since there are 3 strongly differing groups, Western Catholic/Protestant, Eastern orthodox, and Southern Orthodox/Catholic, there were problems. And we didn't want Communism.
And 20 years after the cold war, Poland is under such direct influence from the Yanks that we can't even build good trade relationship with bad Germans and uncool Ukrainians. Poland can't even buy oil from Iran and build a mega airport in Warsaw.
There is an article in Polityka about mixed blood children in Poland. This leftist paper of course concentrates on hardships and racisms, but they slipped a word of truth. 'due to the political atmosphere, the Persian guy with a British passport cannot be persecuted for choking his wife in a fight. If she married an Ukrainian, he could be persecuted, because the political climate is not to touch Westerners'
This kind of explains why China has punished the Arab cabdriver, right? They want to keep it straight there, not racist like in Poland. Brits don't get persecuted - that's ******* contemporary colony.
So, Germans and Britain were racing for the oil. Two main competitors.
