  1. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Germans could not know what he'd do if they made no deal with him and he may approach France & UK if hostile Germany expands at his doorsteps. Germans would not be willing to risk any possibility of 2 front war after ww1 experience, so would just make deal with Stalin and give him eastern...

  2. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    He at least knew about German invasion in advance and was given free hand in his direct neighbourhood. If ostentatiously anti-communist Germany pushes their sphere of influence further east, he'd have reason to be worried. Germans must consider this and ensure, that Stalin would remain at least...

  3. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    They still had priorities. Uruguayan or Chilean SSR could wait for their turn, lands near Soviet border, populated mainly by dominant nations of two Soviet Republics, are different story.

  4. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Not only this. USSR wanted revenge after Polish-Soviets war and regarded lands east of Curzon line as western Belarus/Ukraine. Even before 1939 they divided Eastern Borderland of Poland into Belarusian and Ukrainian part ( Belarusian and Ukrainian communist agitators have their districts)...

  5. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Soviets would invade. They regarded lands east of Bug river as rightfully their.

  6. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Like Palestine mixed with 1930s Ukraine. Central Poland was already overpopulated. Combine expulsion of western Poles with loss of the best agricultural land and you have Holodomor in Poland.

  7. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Nope. Russian Empire at least has not planned expulsion of millions of Poles to make room for Russian settlers. When ww1 started Poles from Russian Poland feared Germans and regarded Russian victory as better option, as German policy towards Poles in Posen was well known. Russian Empire was not...

  8. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Nazi regime brought anti-Semitism to the levels unseen before, but anti-Polish sentiment in Germany was much older than Hitler (who was, for a while, less anti-Polish than previous German governments) Hit the Poles so hard that they despair of their life; I have full sympathy with their...

  9. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Nope. After experience of partitions (these were not all happening at the same time and also started with loss of "Corridor") Poles would fight for every inch, as loss of independence would be inevitable anyway.

  10. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Yes, they would, because otherwise they'll lose power due to internal unrest and would only slow down destruction of Poland anyway (salami tactics instead of instant conquest). Poland would be like modern Palestine.

  11. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    There is no limited war with Poland. If Germans wants Poland to ceede territory they must destroy them like they did IOTL and Vilnius would be captured by USSR once Soviets join invasion.

  12. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Yes, because Poles (like IOTL) would relocate most of their armed forces to Western Poland (just to not give Germans excuse, that Poles "left contested areas undefended") and easier way to defeat Polish army would be thrust towards the center (which was relatively easy due to shape of the...

  13. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Step 1 is almost certain

  14. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Yes. It would end with German-Soviet partition of Poland

  15. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Nope. Poland would not give up Corridor without a war. Poland was more determined to fight for independence that Czechoslovakia and would resist.

  16. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    Yes, they're obviously small kids when Sigismund II dies. Magnates' paradise.

  17. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    If such Germany demands Corridor, then war is imminent anyway, so is German-Soviet pact to ensure at least USSR's neutrality. Germans hated Poland much more than USSR, even right wing ones, and preffered 1914 borders over Polish buffer against Soviets.

  18. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Blah, blah, blah evil dumb Poles would destroy themselves blah, blah, blah... If Germany invade Poland geopolitical domino would still fall same as OTL. UK & France have not declared war in Germany because of nazism, there were no death camps on 3 September 1939. They did it, because Germany...

  19. No Nazism (and maybe no WWII) - What is the ultimate fate of the Second Polish Republic?

    Without war? Nope. And if war happens result is roughly IOTL.

  20. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage II

    Another Louis d'Anjou & Elizabeth of Bosnia family tree: Elizabeth of Bosnia (1339-1387) m. Louis I (1326-1382) King of Hungary and Poland 1) Catherine (1370-1378) 2) Mary (1371-1433) Queen of Hungary, m. Sigismund (1368-1437) King of Bohemia and Hungary, Holy Roman Emperor 1) Elizabeth...
