History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]
Merged: IsPoland geographically,culturally or economically considered as Eastern orCentral Europe?
i'm an Asian majoring in Eastern-Europe studies(specifically Czech) and Polish one is also in this category(is in the university of Eastern-Europe studies)
so i have always been thinking Poland automatically is more close to Eastern Europe culturally, economically and so on.
Poland also had a communist form of government like some other Eastern-Europe countries.
Also, the Polish-language belongs to the Slavic-language group along with Russian, Czech and Slovakian.
But i heard somewhere that Polish people in general don't like it when people say Poland is an Eastern-European country. and they like to rather be called as 'Central-Europe'
if this information is true, why is this like that???
i think the standards dividing Eastern and Central Europe is very vague so it actually doesn't really matter. What do you think...???(if it can be divided...)
