Not to mention map 1 that has blue Corridor and Gdańsk, but yellow sea access. Seriously, it looks as if gaining sea access was purely accidental.especially like how the western territories covered are only blue, but the westwards arrow is purple I can only imagine whats that supposed to mean
As for colonies, I'm really worried that 3 in 8 people have then in either purple, blue or green. Seriously, it's 1919, there are no profitable colonies left and domestic issues are orders of magnitude more important!
While I can understand that, (after all, after Posen, Upper Silesia and the Corridor that is the most natural direction of Polish expansion), the ones willing to accept or actively pursue the rest of East Prussia seem to unaware of the problems it would cause.Also the blue or green Masurias. As said, 97%!
Can't argue with that. After all, only so many people cast their votes out of nationalist sentiment. Others simply stay with the state that offeres stability and better chance to feed their families. At the time of the plebiscite many considerated that state to be Germany rather than Poland.expecting better labour laws and economical conditions etc in Germany
Yeah. A year or so ago I attempted to draw a 'fair' border in Upper Silesia and every deviation from OTL border raised problems. The railways we especially aggravating. I know they are of secondary importance and you can rebuilt them eventually, but severing railway connections in industrial region simply shouldn't be done.Its a puzzle, and maybe the OTL border, even though dictated by France, and even though giving the actually clearly German voting Industrial area to Poland, wasnt so bad at all...
Red borders appeal to my sense of aesthetics and I'll surely use it on my maps someday However, with me favouring westwards expansion it can't be considered very advantageous. BTW, that map is divided into counties, isn't it?Red is a more advantageous proposal for Germany,
