Who was the fucking idiot who thought it was a good idea to give these guys the fucking Rurh? Giving them subsidies and helping them in the Seven Years War made sense, letting them get a piece of Poland was a crime but it was not that bad since everybody else was getting one and it was better not to let Russia have everything. But what the fuck did they have to have the Rurh and Western Germany? Those idiots at Vienna learned nothing. And people still suck the dick out of Metternich and muh Realpolitik autists.
>>18661012Everyone but the French wanted a hostile militarized German state on the French border, the Austrians didn't want to manage a disconnected territory on the French border and it was viewed as fair compensation for Prussia giving up claims on Saxony and Poland. The rich mineral deposits of the Ruhr were also unknown at the time so to everyone it just looked like Prussia was handed a volatile piece of territory that would set them up on a collision course with France.
The Ruhrgebiet before Industrialization was not that prosperous. It was a backwater. Thankfully no one realized it's potential, until Prussia industrialized it and became even stronger. Everything worked out perfectly. Also Prussia getting as much of Poland as possible is always an inherently good thing.
>>18661149>Also Prussia getting as much of Poland as possible is always an inherently good thing.No, its not you retarded krautist. Napoleon should have consolidated his gains in 1812 and not invade Russia. Prussia was the cancer of Europe, that should have been erradicated.
>>18661289I do admit, teaching the Poles how to read was indeed a grave sin for which Prussia deserved its destruction. What this Board could have been without any seething Poles...
>>18661291Poles were allways superior people to the prusshits.
>>18661315Superior in cleaning Toilets maybe.
>>18661149Based>>18661289Cringe
>>18661338No, superior in almost every aspect you dumb faggot.
>>18661419Sure, sure
prussiapes got conquered and genocided by Polish warriors
>>18661442You lost the war against slavs
>>18661012The biggest tragedy was Tsarisa dying in 1762 during the seven years war. It allowed the Prussniggers to win a war that they absolutely would have lost otherwise. It gave them this delusion of grandeur, that they are somehow better people than other Europeans.
>>18661289>>18661315>>18661419>>18661458>>18661494>>18661534You are not Polish, pancho.
>>18661012Britain
>>18661494>>18661458What Slavs? WW2 was a conflict between the Allies and the Axis, slavs were not a Monolith and were fighting on both sides.And I don't think Poland is a nation that belonged to the Victors of WW2. So shut up, you are not Russians, stop claiming their archievements as a lowly cumbucket.
>>18661567He is Lithuanian and admitted he got abused by a German superior in the workplace. Ignore his pathological desire to spam the board with his own Poeer fantasies.
>>18661576slavs were a monolith according to germshits themselves though.
>>18661618Ok and? Nobody here is German and besides you nobody has any emotional stakes in that, so I don't care. This is the history board intended for historical discussions, not for your impotent larp fantasies
>>18661581>He is LithuanianLol no, even the most liberal Lithuanian hates Russians, which he doesn't.
>>18661749So do the Poles, yet they always crave into the Russian butthole when it's about who won WW2.
