Poland is a Central and Eastern European country, bordering the Baltic Sea in the north, Ukraine and Belarus in the east, Lithuania and Russia (Kaliningrad Oblast) in the northeast, Germany in the west, and the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the south, with an area of about 31It is 30,000 square kilometers and has a population of about 38.4 million, with Warsaw as its capital. Poland is a multi-ethnic country, of which about 98% are ethnic Poles and are predominantly Roman Catholic.
What about Poland's presence in European countries?
It depends on which era Poland is, and in general: Poland's presence in the European political, economic, military, and diplomatic landscape is on a downward trend, and it has improved in recent years, but it can still be regarded as average in the whole of Europe.
Poland is the stick country of Europe, and it is not pleasing everywhere, but in any case, Poland has indeed been arrogant in history, and once became the first power on the European continent for several decades. The Teutonic Knights were destroyed, the ** people who fought were all over the ground looking for teeth, the Prussians who were pressed could not raise their heads, and they also occupied half of Ukraine. But it was short-lived, and since then it has been **, Germany, Austria took turns to rub on the ground, but they were not convinced, and they went out to provoke at the first opportunity, and took advantage of Germany's defeat during World War I to trample on Germany, and tortured and killed tens of thousands of Soviet prisoners of war, and then were retaliated by the two countries in World War II. Even now, he is not honest, looking for a sense of existence everywhere, and even pointing fingers at China, and he doesn't understand what it means to be a long-distance friend and a close attack.
After all, Poland is not a Western European country, so it now has serious differences on many issues with Germany and France, which really dominate the EU. For example, in the migration crisis in recent years, Eastern European countries represented by Poland advocated restricting immigration, and even refused to accept migrants according to the quotas specified by the European Union, forming serious differences with countries such as Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands, so they have also become the focus of many of these countries. It also highlights the fact that Poland is still relatively marginalized within the EU. Poland still has a long way to go if it wants to become a major country in the EU.
Is there a possibility of a merger between Germany and Poland?
It is completely impossible, unless it is annexed again by force.
1.Although Germany is much stronger than Poland, Germany and Poland belong to different nations, there are phonetic and cultural differences, Germany invaded Poland in history, it can be said that the entire Polish nation and Germany have a national hatred and family feud, so it is impossible for the two countries to merge.
2.Poland will not take the initiative to merge with Germany unless it annexes Poland as it did in World War II. Assuming that Germany and Poland wishfully wanted to merge together, Europe could be plunged into a new war.
3.Because Germany is now the fourth largest economy in the world. Germany is also the engine of the European economy. If Germany and Poland were to merge, it would mean that Germany's economic strength would surpass that of Japan, and Germany's overall national strength would rise substantially. It is no longer possible for Germany to live a life of peace and self-control, and Germany will certainly seek greater space for development and a broader world stage.
4.The merger of Germany with Poland meant that Germany's national power in the European region was further strengthened. Then European powers such as Britain, France, and Russia will face the challenge of Germany. Because Germany's industrial manufacturing industry is the best in Europe, Germany has the ability to use Germany's strong industrial technology and abundant capital to arm itself and dominate Europe in a short period of time. Germany is fully equipped with the technology and ability to manufacture nuclear **.
5.Therefore, even if Germany and Poland were to merge, the other European countries and the United States would not agree, because a strong Germany would touch the global interests of other developed countries of the world.
Under the Reality of the International Order, whether it is a merger or separation of any country, we have to look at the opinions of the "boss" on major and minor international issuesWhat does Russia think?What is the opinion of the UN Security Council?What's more, Poland and Germany, history and reality, are closely related to many countries, and such a sensitive issue is not so simple.
