And that's your problem, it blinds you to what really happened. And the church and backward thinking, you know there were people who thought of themselves as progress and the church as backward, by some strange coincidence every idea of theirs ultimately ended badly. Well, and they always ended...

In what bubble do you live that you come up with something like "Catholic tyranny"? Anyway, the Mongols didn't save them from anything, they just crushed them and destroyed a large part of the former Rus. Another thing is that it wouldn't have mattered at all if the Polish rulers had seriously...

In the 10th and 11th centuries, rather Prussia or Bavaria as separate countries did not exist, it was still an organized structure which, although it had loopholes that we exploited every time, it is still possible to talk about Germans.

Technically speaking, many in Poland believe that we should have gone into alliance with Hitler in 39 for somewhat similar reasons, though rather to protect the Polish nation which lost a significant part of its elite during that war and millions of ordinary Poles were murdered, and the front...

Surprised? We're not. For a nice couple of elections we've clearly seen partition boundaries if we look at who votes for whom. The former Cogrens Poland and Galicia are definitely more conservative than the former post-German areas. The infrastructure remains even though the Germans are long...

My controversial opinion is that Prussia is overrated. Frederick II does not deserve the admiration of him and the title of Great, it should read Gambler. Because he had more luck than sense. And his influence on the world was greater than his skill. If anything his father was the Great. And...
