By that standard, Hitler did nothing wrong invading them in 1939. It was part of the PLC at some point, but it was inhabited by other peoples not Poles.

The Poles were not fighting yet in January 1919 (at least not in any intensive way). Land was part of Austria-Hungary, they both wanted, fought a war, Czechs won. No "retaking" here.

That was just to recover Cieszyn, which the Czechs stole from Poland when it was busy saving Europe from the Bolsheviks in 1920.

While it's true that the Poles had good cause, it's also true that they cut off their own head to spite their face. Had Poland sided with the Czechs, they would have had a real chance of securing their future. By sticking the knife in when they did, they doomed the Czechs and themselves to Nazism and Bolshevism.

Was never was going to happen, because of shit like Cieszyn, the Czech Legions fucking over Poles in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution and being pro-Soviet right up to the start of WWII.

They were so eager to suck Stalin’s cock, that tried to form a defense pact with the U.S.S.R. that would have entailed the Soviets rolling right thru Poland to aid the Czechs and they actually expected the Poles to ignore this…

The fact is the Czechs fucked themselves over (and their neighbors) by arrogantly trying to play everyone off against everyone else and thinking they could somehow sit out a European war.

Not thru want of trying. The West has forgotten the heroic resistance of Poland in 1918, had the Gommies broken the Poles then, they would have joined up with German communists and Hitlerism would have been averted in favor of a Bolshevik Europe.

>>1745678
The Spartacists had already been defeated and Germany was revealed to have not been that disarmed. There seems to be this misconception the Bolsheviks would've been welcomed in Germany, and then France. The Wiemar Republic would've resisted and the Bolsheviks likely wouldn't have passed.

If that were true, then they would've never become a world power, let alone develop the ability of regaining that position whenever they see fit.

Also, while they were responsible for limiting the Marshall Plan's influence, they're also responsible for aiding and in some cases, even directly participating in the liberation of many Slavic countries from foreign Imperial hegemony.

IMO crimes kinda not equal. Of course let's also ignore, that Poland was safe haven for Jews for like, 700 years? I wonder why.
I don't deny, that Poles done some bad shit. That is impossible to avoid. But if you want to prove to me, that Poland did crimes at German/Dutch/etc tier, i would like to know some examples.
