"There is no way to stop various parts of Poland being coveted by Germany and the USSR, no matter where the inter-war borders are drawn. That in 1945 there is a Poland inhabited by Polish people is all that matters." Yes, but only after a genocide and slaughter on ethnic minorities (for...

My suggested map:

What happened with Albania and Vietnam i.e. why is Vietnam a puppet of China and Albania is in the NATO-camp?

That was after 1919. And it's from the point of view (1918/19) unlikely that something like this would happen in the German Reich. "(cf. "Famous pogroms include the Odessa pogroms, Warsaw pogrom (1881), Kishinev pogrom (1903), Kiev Pogrom (1905), Białystok pogrom (1906), Lwów pogrom (1918)...

The lexical similarity similarity between High German and English is 60%! (But this figure is unweighted ie the number of basic germanic terms is much higer than the number of basic old-french words). That means lexical similarity between High German and Dutch is probably higher. (cf...

"50% word share with German". The percentage is probably much higher cos there are both West-Germanic languages and German dialects with in the NL and at the boarder are direct descendants of the old franc. (and in contrast to England, there were no 'Dane Law' and 'Norman conquest' either in NL...
