Why do many people hate Poland?

Many Europeans hate the Poles very much, and even despise them. During World War II, Germany did it more thoroughly, and it was always necessary to attack Poland when it came out of trouble. When it comes to this, many people have to ask, what has Poland done to be so hated? When talking about this matter, we have to start with history.

Poland was very powerful in its early history and almost offended the surrounding countries. As a country known for its religious fanaticism, the Poles have "cordially" conducted "communications" with Russia on issues of faith for a hundred years. You know, Poland and Russia belong to the same race, the Slavs. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are brother races, but Poland does not care at all.

In the late 16th century, Poland and Russia launched a war for the rule of Belarus and other places. After the victory, Poland became the most powerful country in Eastern Europe at that time. After that, Poland established a puppet government in Russia and officially entered Russia, which made the Russian people miserable. Soon, uprisings began in various places ruled by Poland, and Poland lost Ukraine and the Cossacks.

A good European power insisted on seeking death, which caused it to almost be retaliated to the point of annihilation after its national power declined. Poland fought with Sweden, with Russia, with Austria, and all the surrounding countries had wars with Poland. When the country is strong, these wars are of course not a problem. But as the saying goes, things turn around. In the middle of the 17th century, Russia rose strongly. In 1772, it divided Poland with Prussia and Austria. Russia's revenge could not be just once. In just 23 years, Poland was divided three times, and the powerful Poland perished. Our ancestors had fought like this, so Russia and Poland naturally became feuds. No one looked down on the other, and no one obeyed the other.

Of course, if it were just like this, perhaps with the passage of time, the hatred of Poland in the surrounding countries would have passed with the feudal society. However, Poland, which was supposed to be quietly reviving its country and making a fortune, has done many things that are sorry to the surrounding countries in modern times.

In 1918, as soon as Poland became independent, it went to war with Soviet Russia. In November 1918, Poland officially became independent. Less than a month after the founding of the Communist Party, with a wave of arms, it directly went to war with Soviet Russia, vowing to restore the territory to the territory before the destruction of the country. Of course, the Soviet Union did not agree to this requirement. The two sides fought fiercely, with Poland hitting Ukraine and the Soviet Union hitting Warsaw directly. Although many parties later intervened and Poland and Soviet Russia reconciled, Soviet Russia lost a large area of ??land. This made Su Russia hold his breath and planned to go back for revenge.

The newly independent Poland first implemented fascism and then had territorial disputes with Germany. After its restoration, Poland did not intend to develop itself honestly. Instead, it stood in the fascist camp, aggressively invaded and took advantage of other countries. In 1938, Germany sent troops to the Czech Republic. Short-sighted Poland not only failed to help the Czech Republic, but also sent troops to occupy thousands of square kilometers of Czech territory. Just when Poland was content with its status as Europe's "third" power, Germany justly demanded the return of the Polish Corridor. The Polish Corridor was originally German territory. If Poland did not recognize it, it would not return it. Displeased, Germany directly sent troops to Poland, which was defeated in 17 days. Poland, which had just become independent a few years ago, was once again destroyed. This war also involved the Soviet Union.

Faced with the powerful Germany, European countries that were supposed to help each other stood aside and watched when they saw that Poland was in trouble. Germany annexed Poland, and Britain and France only declared war verbally, without even taking any action.

Why do so many people hate Poland? Because Poland will seek death.

The questioner actually asked two questions: (1) Why do many people hate Poland? (2) Why do many people avoid Poland when traveling abroad. These two issues are, strictly speaking, related, but independent of each other.

Answer the first question first. Many people hate Poland because they think the country's political history is too weird.

In fact, many history enthusiasts’ attitude towards Poland is not so much hate but ridicule. Poland is located between Germany, Ukraine and Belarus. In the early Middle Ages, the Catholic world was to the west and the so-called "Asian part of Europe" to the east, which naturally became a battleground for the West to march eastward. Historically, the Slavs in Poland were attacked by the Teutonic Knights and captured to establish the Prussian Knights. They also rose up, causing Prussia to surrender. The Polish-Lithuanian Alliance was once a major Catholic power in Eastern Europe. It played a decisive role in many European wars and even once marched to Moscow.

However, starting from the late 17th century, Poland gradually weakened. In the late 18th century, Poland was divided three times by Prussia, Austria, and Russia, and was eventually completely destroyed. Decades later, Clausewitz said that "it is an Asian country, so it will be destroyed if it is destroyed." When Napoleon became emperor, he established the Grand Duchy of Warsaw in Poland, but after Napoleon's fall the country was annexed by Russia.

Tsarist Russia collapsed in 1917, World War I ended in 1918, and Poland was restored by the Allies. To this end, Western Ukraine and Western Belarus were ceded from Russia, and West Prussia and Danzig were ceded from Germany. From then on, Poland began decades of bizarre performances. After the restoration of the country, they actively participated in the Allied Powers' war against Soviet Russia and colluded with the White Guard Wrangel to invade. As a result, they were almost pushed back by the Red Army and captured Warsaw.

Of course, in the end the Battle of Warsaw was won.

Poland has become even more arrogant since then, claiming to be "the fourth army power in Europe." As mentioned before, he was sandwiched between the two big countries of the Soviet Union and Germany, and occupied a piece of land from each country. Normally, he would either make friends with both sides in a balanced way, or support one side against the other. But Poland strangely offended both sides at the same time. At that time, because Stalin was worried about the rise of Hitler in the mid-1930s, he attempted to establish an alliance with Poland to jointly guard against Germany. This was an opportunity for Poland to resolve historical conflicts, but Poland was quite disdainful. However, Poland did not engage in effective diplomacy with Germany. Instead, it fell into the arms of Britain and France, and was officially responsible for the door latch that contained Hitler. What’s even more funny is that when Hitler completely destroyed Czechoslovakia in early 1939, Poland took advantage of the situation and annexed some of the territory in eastern Slovakia.

In this way, in September 1939, Hitler launched a blitzkrieg, and the Soviet army also rushed over from the east. Poland was destroyed in an instant under the attack of the two major powers.

Even after its demise, Poland will not stop. Originally, the Poles, as a Slavic race, were regarded by Germany as an inferior race and attempted to be exterminated. But many of them also worked hard to help the Germans suppress the Jews. Instead, the Jews in Warsaw launched a great uprising and fought against the Nazi German army and the Polish puppet army. A few years later, the Soviet army counterattacked into Poland, and the Polish right wing launched the Warsaw Uprising. In order to prevent the Soviet Union from supporting the left wing, it even made a fuss about the Soviet aid. In the end, the Warsaw Uprising was suppressed by the German army. Then the Soviet army advanced westward, and Poland became a member of the socialist camp.

Due to these experiences, the Poles were nicknamed "*** wave" by domestic history buffs, who tried their best to make fun of them.

As for the fact that many people do not go to Poland when traveling abroad, this may not be because of the above reasons. Poland is located in Eastern Europe, and its civilization and history are worse than those of Western European countries. If you are traveling to Western Europe, choose the Central European routes of Germany, Austria, and Hungary, or the Western European routes of France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. It is obviously more densely packed with tourist attractions than traveling east to Poland. There is no need to go to Poland specifically when visiting Russia.

Poland has capable people, including Copernicus, Marie Curie, and Chopin. Unfortunately, none of them are politicians.

Poland is nicknamed Europe’s footcloth, which means that every neighbor has to step on it if they have the chance. This is not because it is weak, but precisely because it is so hateful.

Poland is destined to dominate, making enemies on all sides and never giving up.

Stalking with Russia; Poland once occupied Moscow for two years. Later, it lost its glory and became a vassal of France, but the Polish Army still led the way in Napoleon's Eastern Expedition to Tsarist Russia and took the lead in attacking the raging Moscow again. After World War I, Poland, which had been dismembered by Russia, Germany, and Austria, was restored and immediately went to war against the unsteady Red Soviet Union. It not only brutally massacred 100,000 Soviet Red Army prisoners, but also seized large tracts of land in Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania, and forced the Soviet Union to sign the " The Treaty of Riga was confirmed.

An enemy of Germany. In the European Middle Ages, the German Teutonic Knights established the Prussian military regime after annihilating the Christian pagans entrenched on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. Poland regarded it as a thorn in its side and ruthlessly restricted and suppressed it, forcing Prussia to surrender to Poland. After World War I, Poland took West Prussia (the Danzig Corridor and the Free City of Danzig) from Germany and severed the geographical connection between Germany and East Prussia.

Enemy with Ukraine... Ukraine escaped from Polish slavery in 1654 and hid under the protective umbrella of Tsarist Russia. Became a historical traitor to Poland. After World War I, Tsarist Russia collapsed. Poland used force to punish the traitors and took away part of Ukraine from the Soviet Union.

Divide the Czech Republic. On the eve of World War II, Hitler instigated autonomous riots on the grounds that the Sudetenland region of the Czech Republic was a traditional Germanic residential area, and used force to force the Czech Republic to hand it over and incorporate it into German territory. Poland did not know that a catastrophe was coming, so it took advantage of the situation and imitated Germany's reasons and practices, and included the Czech Republic's Ceszyn region into the Polish map. In fact, the Polish ethnic group in that area only accounted for 1/3 of the total population.

Historically, Poland was an enemy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Austria), a strategic competitor with the Kingdom of Sweden, and had a fair relationship with Lithuania. It did not offend the river at ordinary times, but did not forget to bite it at critical moments. a piece of meat.

Poland has relapsed today and will continue to be enemies with Russia, Germany, and Europe at the same time.

Poland aspires to become the European Eagle Dog of the United States and is willing to spend money to invite the United States to permanently station its troops. This is a huge thorn in the side for all our neighbors. The United States is now the plague god that Europe cannot invite away. Poland is stubborn and hopes that the United States will suppress Russia and Germany forever. It is wishful thinking and foolishness.

If you have too many grudges, you will be in trouble one day. This is a historical law. If you know the people of Poland, you will understand why Poland was partitioned three times by Russia and Germany, and was partitioned again when World War II broke out. Why did the Katyn Forest tragedy occur? If Poland were to suffer again, there would be little sympathy from its neighbors.

The hatred of Poland is not limited to Europeans, it hurts other people without regard to the consequences.

The current Prime Minister of Poland, Mateusz Morawiecki, has publicly said that the perpetrators of evil in World War II were "not only Germans, but also Jews." This triggered strong opposition in Israel, and it will never please the American Jewish power groups.

Poland has also legislated to ban the use of the name "Jewish concentration camp", which shows its insensitivity to the emotions of the 3 million Jews who died tragically in Polish concentration camps during World War II. How can this win the favor of the 16 million Jews in the world today?

At the end of World War I and during World War II, Poland supported Japan in harming China. For the first time, Poland was the only country to publicly support Japan in taking over Germany’s colonial interests in Jiaodong, China. The second time was when armed conflict broke out between China and Japan at Marco Polo Bridge, Poland actually supported Japan.

China and Poland are thousands of miles apart and have no enmity. Poland, why do you want to hurt China like this?
