Try not to get your world wars mixed up it does make a teeny weeny difference to the historical perspective.Besides there are only two to remember.

WWII comes After WWI

Belisarius

Not the wars as such...rather the geographical redrawals imposed by the Victorious forces in the immediate aftermath of each war .Its a big boo boo I know..but hey were all allowed one every once and a while ..eh? Surely you wounldnt deny me that? I mean , God man! have some compassion!

i still think you are getting the events surrounding the two world wars mixed up.
The injustices of the versailles treaty are well documented.The terms of the treaty led directly to the popular support of Hitler and the second world war.
However the poles did not expell or mistreat
Ethnic Germans living within the polish corridor during the period 1918 1939.
Had they done so Hitler would have made political capital of the fact in his speaches and writings against the Polish Corridor.Furthermore it would have featured prominently in his arguements for the reintigration of the Sudatenland Germans from Czechoslovakia into the German Reich in 1938.
The Mass exodus,murder and burning of German Communities within Poland occurred much later after the Nazi Occupation of Poland and its subsequent 'liberation' by the Red Army in 1945.This Polish reprisal was Instigated by the Soviets over which the Americans,British and French Allies had no influence.

Thus ends todays History lesson.

Ah Clint , once again you drink deep from the Chalice of Prevarication .
While I accept the Importance of Versaille towards the rise of Facism in Germany ..I fail to see what it has to do with anything , As for the wars getting mixed up I still apologise for that , I was placing the area Annexation after WW1 instead of the area of Annexation after WW2 , I said sorry give me a break for the love of god! , Geeze . As for your comments of mistreatment , Reguardless of the actualities of it , Its undeniable that a considerable number of ethnic Germans left the area after its handing over to the Poles , so theyrwe must have at least been the Presence of mistreatment in the background surely. You wouldnt agree , again though Clint stay on topic . Least you could have done after you Killed the thread!

So are you talking about ethnic cleansing or not bel?

Dont accuse me of going off topic.when it was you who raised the treatment of germans within poland after ww1 a fact you have not been able to substantiate in any way shape or form.
Please continue with your pro serb propaganda i will try not to interupt to often if YOU GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT

Belisarius

Actually CC , If I remember , I only pointed out the origins of the phrase ethnic cleaning in reply to your post!. The actual methods have changed from the Movement of a people from one area to another to the far less benine eradication of a people . Now get outa my thread! before I wet my pants !
