Heritage of partitions still present in Poland [107]
No I would say they were better developed before partition. Not sure why geographical reason maybe?
I don't want to go into a pissing contest, foreign occupation sucks every time.
But maybe we can agree that Prussia was not the most successful country of that time for nothing...they brought abit (unwanted I agree) of that to Poland...
....Of the Three Partitions, the education system in Prussia was on a higher level than in Austria and Russia,....
...The German government supported efficient farming, industry, financial institutions and transport.....

Better education plus a gov that supports the economy, the industrialization, agricultural development and you get a better developed region. That's not rocket science.
What I found interesting is that a big part of the actual population was there implanted after the war from the more rural, backwards east polish region and now they vote differently than the people in their former home.
Or maybe there had been more former Prussian-Poles left than thought...
