Poland

Weren't they pretty powerful in the middle ages or something?

Why were they such a joke the last 300 years to the point that they were too stupid and weak to even remain on the map?

What went wrong?

That's nice but you're never getting east Prussia back

The polish space program recently revealed to the UN that they were preparing to attempt the first manned space mission to the surface of the sun. When asked how they were going to accomplish this feat they answered, "We are going at night".

nazis killed every educated/high importance person in the country

soviets raped the country out of natural resources

soviet agents sold everything there was left out of the country after ussr collapsed

this shithole was 40 years behind civilized world until eu rained gibs on them.

democracy died by veto

Yea, their downfall was thinking they could count on their German allies

and before that sweden raped them in 30 years war

Privleged bloated nobility and it was basically going too well for too long. Made the Commonwealth unable to compete with neighboring absolute monarchies

Which German allies? They started WWII by taking Danzig.
After WWI they were clearly in the pocket of the Brits/Jews. I do wonder why they never amounted to anything but war instigators and jewish pawns tho. Access to the sea, large country, culturally not far from Germany.
Might be a story like China where the country is so easy to attack that everyone took a bite at some time. If they exist, maybe some honest Pole can tell us more.

it's europe here
everybody got slaughtered and raped time and time again
we're just still recovering from the last great bout
giving anyone a right to vote and it's consequences were a disaster for the European continent


OP is a fag as usual
herbs

This basically, there's not much more to it. Having undefendable borders and being surrounded by enemies obviously doesn't help but things would have probably worked out alright if it weren't for huge internal problems and our neighbours capitalizing on it every chance they got. Not like we wouldnt do the same to anyone else in a similiar situation (Moscow occupation).

kek
but unironically true

Germany lost ww1
Germany lost ww2
Your economy will collapse later this year and then minorities will eat native germans alive due to food shortage

the pre partition one

they've accumulated a critical mass of bitterness and now all they can do is seethe.

Because back then there were no coherent Russia and Germany

Intelligenzaktion

Too bad we got all the intel from Burgers years ahead and have oil and gas secured for winter, with coal still flaming in elecro-heater plants, while you're a sacrificial lamb that Washington decided to murder this year

We were VERY overpowered before that while being very sparse in population. When we stopped being able to crush several times more numerous armies we got fucked up because everyone dwarfed us demographically. PLC was a military power, society geared to defend it's backyard from Turkey and Russia.

Final nail to the coffin was us not hating our neighbors enough and believing in enlightenment nonsense and that other countries' monarchs are civilized people, so the nobility here just decided to try cooperating. Big mistake. Germans betrayed their subjects by becoming nationalistic and then trying to destroy them. Russians made a whole ideology out of le ebil Catholics le ebilly being unslavic n shiet. Bunch of vulgar retards.

Didn't the Germans massacre their entire educated class during the war?
Though I will admit, there weren't that many to kill to begin with.

Russia was more coherent in the 15th century than after 19th century, ever. You're a mess.

Pilsudski was pretty chummy with Hitler, so there that. What would happen if Pilsudski stayed alive just a bit longer is a guessing game.

in short yes
Polish problem is that they are to strong to be easily swallowed(like Bohemia) but to weak to actually carve their own Empire
even PLC that was born from union was curse in disguise that dragged Poles into the war with Turks, Tatars and Muscovy
it worked so far as Polish core stayed safe and could provide reserves to repel eastern enemies from borderlands
as soon as they were ravaged(by Deluge) the ability of PLC to resist fallen greatly and it come with decline of middle nobility that was making it work
then you get rise of eastern oligarchs that were having their own private armies and courts, weak central authority and rapidly centralizing and hungry neighbors and you have recipe for disaster
unironically it was Prussia that was behind partitions and was scheming all the time to grab Vistula trade(with GB backup as fellow protestant power) even if Russia did most of the heavy lifting

Senate objected to the occupation of Russia, retard

They just wanted to stick it to Sigismund, I don’t think there’s much more to that

There was no Russia in 15-th century lol, only Muscovy, Novgorod and a fucktonne of smaller duchies
