But the old Gov was almost a polar opposite, surely the current Gov has more in common.
can Kohler serve for more that 2 terms, or is this his 1st.
Most people are quite confused about this cabinet and wish the old gov back...seriously..

don't you take an interest in German politics? Given that Schwan speaks Polish a closer alliance is not out of the question.
ugh

This is slightly of topic and i I apologise, however I would like to know what is Bratwurst Boy’s opinion on current German politics. How do you view the CDU-FDP alliance, how would you rate the cabinet? Will Gesine Schwan run for the presidency again? If you're listening.

Thanks for the info, but I already know that. you might capture my imagination by interpreting the painting of The Wanderer and linking it to the German cultural experience. My point was that by the 19th century most European countries of the same ethnicity had settled any civil conflict between each other some time ago.

Geographical coincidence.
yes it was the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. So not only was it united as a country, it later managed to unify with other countries without trying to exterminate their populations.
Right, but what's your point? The HRE still existed while the slavic tribes in Poland were Pagan.
Geographical coincidence.
And Poland was officially formed and unified in 1990. Or do you want to go back to the commonwealth and call that Poland even though 80% of the territory doesn't match up with where Poland is on the map today...

Clap trap, try telling the Italians that. It is not German period. "in the 19th century, a committee of historians led by Giosuè Carducci traced the founding of the University back to 1088"

Germany was unified in the 19th century. That is when it becomes to all intents a purposes a country.
Of course. Received its charter from Barbarossa. And you've got Charles University in Prague as well.

German tribes helped to bring down the actual Roman Empire
Holy Roman Empire? HRE existed while the slavic tribes in Poland were still Pagan.

Hmmm Funny that. I thought that it was the Poles with the first modern European constitution.
First European public library
First ministry of Education in Europe
An older university, than any German university 1364 Jagiellonian universities, compared to Heidelberg 1386.
An older country
Earlier concepts of Rights and liberties and generally democratic forms of governance than Germany
Poles the civilised ones and Germans the Barbarians, Parish the thought.

Right. And remind me how did he treat the Polish minority in Germany? In stark contrast to the way the Poles treated the German minority in Poland. Nationalist in outlook yes, as nationalist as Germany not quite.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]
I hate to break this to you, and I know I 'am a little late of the mark. However you forgot, if you ever knew the history of your Frederick William II (that handsome looking slim individual with a great haircut lol) in the first place, that he signed the Polish-Lithuanian and Prussian alliance on 29 March 1790, only to break it at a later stage. You see German perfidy goes back centuries and isn't a recent invention.
Having said that I think the two countries have lot in common with each other, one just needs to look at the history of recent figures such as Admiral Jozef Unrug and general Juliusz Rommel to realise. That's not mention all the Poles working in Germany and the assimilation of the two nations over the centuries. Today the relationship between the 2 governments is especially close. However I still think that the UK is Poland’s no. 1 partner in Europe, especially considering the backgrounds of Poland's finance minister Jacek Rostowski and foreign minister Radek Sikorski.
Congrats you have the honour of being my first post on this forum lol.
