Yes because we know Poland was a vicious slave holding murderous tyranny. :rolleyes: As freemen in Poland readily got noble's status and later took part in Sejm that is not an argument. But yes let's return to the topic interrupted by Leo's rude comments.

That is silly as members of inner circle weren't the only citizens of SU. Bad day at work or something else ? Anyway the acknowledgment that Noble's Democracy was democratic in its structure and workings is commonly accepted, and I see no "nationalistic propaganda" in it. Ah, so you are just...

Nope.Under your opinion Athens didn't have a democracy ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sejm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_election Free election From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Of course you are free to argue that a system where...

A flawed argument-they were slaves in Athens but nobody denies Athens had democracy. Likewise despite the existence of serfs the term Noble's Democracy is widely widespread and used by historians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Liberty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szlachta (only a...

The word liberties is used by historians though.

Well Poland's Commonwealth was unique in treatment of religious and ethnic groups compered to other European countries during that region.The same applies to invidual rights. Allthough Wikipedia is generally shallow in my opinion you may check out this links...

Yes, ethnicly.97 % of Population are ethnic Poles. There was a great deal of tolerance in Poland so each ethnic group kept to itself and had no need to blend in the society. The problem is that Mongols never conquered Poland. You are quite silly in this.Germans and Poles rarely married...

Pasha-Poles are the one of the most monolithic country on this planet when it comes to ethnicity. As to Jewish population-they kept out of society and mostly intermarried among themselfs. But that is off-topic I guess. :)

Poles aren't tall blonde blue eyed people to begin with :p IIRC around 5000 Tatars are still in Poland.

Personally I think Lenin was more dangerous then Stalin. Stalin was a calculating coldlbooded killer interested in personal power.Lenin was an mad maniac dreaming about worldwide communism who believed his visions. He would start a war with the west more readily then Stalin who always was...

That is wrong.Lenin called for world revolution and Bolsheviks moved into Baltics, Belarus and Ukraine and confronted national movements there.Then Poland and Ukraine joined forces for counteroffensive. Lenin himself was pretty bloodthirsty: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/archives/ad2kulak.html

Impossible.Napoleon was treated like Messiah, and France was the only state that could make Poland independent again. Poles were the last soldiers that stood for Napoleon btw and tried several times to rescue him when he was imprisoned. As Poland was surrounded by three hostile and culturally...

You are forgetting the fact that Hitler had only 6 years.And he planned for more. http://www.dac.neu.edu/holocaust/Hitlers_Plans.htm Propaganda didn't invade Gass chambers, RuSHA or thesis that Jews,Poles,Gypsies are "menschentiere" to be exterminated.

Had the roles reversed I and over more then 100.000.000 people/if not more/ would be ash in the wind, or illitarate slaves treated like animals.

Seeing how much Poland was militarised by French in OTL and due to its political situation/surrounded by hostile states/ it would be heavily militaristic country, a sort of French bastion/garrison in Central Europe.
