Poland first appeared on the map with the formation of the Polish Kingdom in 1025. Poland then formed a commonwealth with Lithuania in 1596, forming the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1795, Poland was partitioned between Prussia, Russia, and Austria, ending the sovereignty of the nation and abolishing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. From 1807-1815, Napoléon established the Duchy of Warsaw, in which Poland existed as a puppet state to France. It was then partitioned between Prussia and Russia. Poland would not appear on the map again until the end of World War I in 1918, where Russia and Germany ceded land. Poland was then invaded by Russia and Germany in 1939, starting World War II. Poland was reestablished as a nation, but acted as a communist puppet state of Russia from 1945 until the fall of communism in the early 1990s. Today, Poland exists a democratic nation and is labeled as the Polish Third Republic.

Did Germany invade Poland because the Germans in the south of Poland were being persecuted and killed?
This is an excuse used by Germany.Hitler made a pact with Russia that they would not fight each other and would divide Poland between them when they conquered it. It is more likely that Hitler invaded simply to increase his land mass and resources.CommentGermany invaded Poland to gain space and recources. Germans used the lie about being attacked first. 17 days later Soviets invaded Poland as well and split it in half. Would you say that Poles were both persecuting Germans and Russians? In 1939 Poland as a country existed only for 20 years after regaining independency after 125 years of being partitioned by whom? : Prussia and Russia. Please see the map of Europe from year 1939 to see where was Poland, Germany and Russia then. Also read Norman Davies's newest book "Europe at war, 1939-1945"Poland was created out of pieces of the German Empire and Imperial Russia. This meant that the Border areas had large numbers of either Russian or German people on the Polish side of the Border. While there was some tension in Silesia (Southern Poland), most of the tension with Germany was over the "Danzig Corrider" connecting central Poland to the Baltic. This area had been German since the late middle ages, but was given to Poland so it could have access to the sea.Hitlers foreign policy had 4 pieces:1) Unite all Germans under one government (his).2) Avoid the threat of a 2 front war by destroying Poland and France.3) Unify and "rationalize" Europe under one empire (like the EU only more violent).4) Drive the Russians out of the Western USSR and repopulate it with Germans.Points 1) and 2) put Poland firmly in Hitler's crosshairs.IMPROVEMENT COURSOThis question isn't TODAYS GERMANY excuse, because today POLAND and GERMANY are allies and very good friends who help eachother, it was NATZI, and HITLERS propaganda.
