Title, Poland got some very sus territory after being ressurected by ww1, the most scandalous being an considerably lot of east germany and basically half of Ukraine and Byelaruss. They got that territory mainly because the Entente wanted to weaken both the USSR and Germany, it backfired badly for poland almost 2 decades later on WW2. I know that poland wanting Russian territory was BS, but what about the german one?

    I posted this on the Matrix chat and a comrade who studies history answered this:

    No territory was “rightfully theirs”. Seeing post WW2 partitions in other than political terms is wrong and is the way the west wants us to think - the reorganization of Poland after WW2 was a rearrangement of borders at the convenience of the victorious parties and detriment of the defeated ones, nothing more.
