>>1767982
Better than in Russia.

>>1767982
economically by far the least worst of the 3, culturally by far the worst in terms of repression and germanisation

>Frederick wrote that Poland had "the worst government in Europe with the exception of Turkey"

>>1768882
one of the few things he was right about.

It wasnt bad just the food was terrible

>>1768969
"Worst" because it actually limited absolutism and authoritarian establishments, they're also the first to have a constitution in Europe.

>>1767982
Quite bad.

Better off than in Russian Empire
Worse off than in Austrian Empire

Speaking in the terms of national freedom.

By Frederick's age Poland had been crushed between three mighty (and greedy) empires and its politics were reliant on them. In those times there wasn't much they could do for themselves anymore.

>>1769046
That's not positive. The government was too weak to protect the medieval abomination that is was.

>>1769094
They were on the verge of changing that, hence the partitions to stop the last king's reforms.

>>1769695
Where are you from friend? I always see you posting

>>1769766
Bosnia and Herzegovina.

>>1769772

>>1767982
The Germans went as far as banning the use of Polish language in public places.

>>1767982
I dont know about language bans, but since Most of todays polish Territory in the Pic was prussian from the beginning the Transfer shouldt habe been to hard for them. There was a century Long Migration Tradition und Prussia was originally the modern Immigration state due to theire acceptance of everyone who was willing to work hard.

This changed when in the 19th century the german nationalism movement starten rising and Prussia starten to make concessions to this Movement by defining itselves through ethnicity and state Religion the First time in its History.

>>1767982
Until the later half of the 19th century, not particularly bad. Poles weren't seen as a race or nationality, and discrimination came more in the form of favoring non-Polish parts of the Empire.

happened between 1885 and 1890

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_the_Great#First_Partition_of_Poland
mostly affected gentry; serfs were just serfs like everywhere else

>In 1916, Germany, with the Act of 5th November, publicly promised to create the Regency Kingdom of Poland, while secretly planning to annex up to 35,000 square kilometres of its territory and ethnically cleanse up to 3 million Poles and Jews to make room for German settlers after the war.[20][21][22][23][24][25]

What did they mean by this?

>"These provinces cannot be compared with any European country-the only parallel would be Canada"

>>1768856
But Poland was massively behind Prussia in terms of development. This is a fact.
