That is true, Versailles Poland was history. What would return was a Polish ethno state. that was good enough. Why should Poles rule over Germans, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, etc.? Just because some Anglo decided in Versailles that that should be the case? To hell with Anglos.
There's that basic ignorance of yours again rearing its ugly head. The western border was decided at Versailles. The eastern border was decided at the peace of Riga, 1920, after the Polish-Russian war. The western border very closely followed the ethnic lines. In Upper Silesia there was a plebiscite and it was split following the ethnic lines. There would always be minorities. For comparison, ever looked at the Vance-Owen plan? The whole of Eastern Europe looked like that in the start 20th Century. Western Europe too, to a lesser degree, 200 years earlier, but due to the pressures of national states, minorities had largely "assimilated". How many people still speak Dutch in the Dunkirk region? Or in Cleves? How many people still speak East-Frisian?
No it is not. The treason the Allies committed against the Germans was outrageous. Even Wilson was disgusted by it and the Senate
refused to sign the treaty.
Wilson enraged? No, a bit disappointed. The Senate refused to sign because of isolationist tendencies.
Are you that desperate that you are going to doubt that Hitler held the public address at all on October 6, 1939??!!
No, as a matter of fact, I mentioned it first.
That is irrelevant. Are you proposing that they made up the speech? Show me the real transscript then if you want to make a fool of yourself.
No, you provide a transcript from a bonafide site. Or just forget about the contents of the speech.
But as the BBC article confirms, the British were not interested. They and Roosevelt were already on a war path. Or as Chamberlain revealed to Joseph Kennedy: it is the Jews that push us into the war.
Let me quote Basil Fawlty on this: "You started it. You invaded Poland". He could at least get his facts straight.
What do you mean 'small'?
2 million is not small.
I wonder where your general got his numbers. The Polish 1921 census listed only 1 million, and the Polish 1931 census listed ca. 700,000. The roots of many of those Germans can be doubted, e.g., the Prussian officials who had been assigned there. And boohoo, after the oppression of the Polish majority in those areas and the outright Germanification policies of Prussia, I really can't bring myself to have much sympathy for the German minorities after the tables had been turned.
Interestingly, modern Poland is one of the ethnically purest in the entire world. Just as Dolfie liked it.
Thanks to Jozef Stalin and the postwar Eastern European regimes, yes, there's been a lot of ethnic cleansing.
Oh yes you are right, and it should be on A4-format, otherwise it is not a valid peace proposal. And it must have a valid stamp in a valid envelope. Otherwise ti does not count.
I can't help if you can't see the disparity between a public speech for the own citizens and a peace proposal directed to another state. The first has no value whatsoever in diplomacy.
