History / Lithuanians hate Poles? [156]

However numbers of Poles recently decreased, just in 1931, 65,9% of population was Polish:

Seems like Soviet rule changed a lot of things there...

6.6% of lithuanians are of the ethnic Polish background. that's hardly huge.

Merged: Why Lithuanians hate Poles?

spending the last few weeks in Lithuania I noticed a lot of resentment for Poles here. this mystifies me for several reasons, for one Poland is probably the most similar country to Lithuania (culturally at least) and the Polish people I know tend to like lithuania. i realise that there are Historical conflicts between the two but why is this still relevant to this day?

any thoughts to why this is happening?

History / Polish Prussia, Kashubians, Masurians, and Saxonians? [3]

I aware that Polish Prussia is basically land of immigrants, and few times population structure was changed, not just by newcomers from Belarusia, but from Southern Poland AFAIK. More than anywhere else that is situation with population of corridor which was changing hands few times. But what is case with territories which allays were part of Poland. Weren't there complete change of population structure took a place? Isn't autochthonousness of Kashubians and Masurians just myth? What with assimilation of Prussians and possibly of part of Saxonians in Polish nation? Is there any scholarly work about it?
