Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]
the tribals decided to become a nation
I shouldn't even reply to anyone who refers to "tribals". And I won't anymore.
Having a majority in the rural areas gives you a claim to the central urban area in which you have only a tiny minority?
Yes.
Ukraine does not have a valid claim to the area, they didnt develop it, they didnt build its towns and cities
They lived in the territory and made up a large percentage of the population, and were there before the Poles... claim established.
the problem when comparing German partitioners is that they came to a developed nation and took over, Poland came to a bunch of tribals
You'll find that if you examine the history the German settlers in Poland were also invited and that basically all medieval Polish towns either introduced the German Town Law that came with them or were founded with it, such as the Magdeburg or Luebeck laws (In Poland in the form of Neumarkt, Kulm or Danzig laws, for example). This had a significant positive influence on the development of Poland.The partitions came long after that.
And the Kievan Rus was a respectable state much like Poland.
