Poland, located in the middle of Europe, is known as the "European Footcloth" in history. This means that its neighbors, whether Russia or Germany, have to step on it when they go out, and neighboring countries such as Sweden and Austria-Hungary will step on it when they have the opportunity. Poland was divided between Russia and Op three times, and none of the neighboring countries sympathized. Instead, they applauded. So what is the hatred between Poland and neighboring countries?

The reason why Poland is so unpopular is mainly because Poland is too ambitious and has been dreaming of a big country and is self-righteous. Poland dreams of becoming a great country because it was also rich in the past. In the Middle Ages, Poland was once one of the European powers, and its winged cavalry was famous far and wide. Because Germany and Russia were in a state of disintegration at that time, Poles often bullied Germans and Russians, not only attacked the Teutonic Knights (the predecessor of Prussia) treacherously, but also invaded Moscow for a time, which made Germans and Russians hate Poland. Even Lithuania, a good friend around us, and Sweden, which has always stayed out of it, have been attacked by Poland repeatedly. Poles offended their neighbors.

There is a saying that "you have to pay it back when you come out." With the rise of Russia and Germany in the18th century, they naturally won't let Poland go, so they joined hands with Austria-Hungary, another enemy of Poland, to carve up Poland and make it disappear from the map 120 years ago.

After World War I, the Poles were revived with the help of Britain and France. After the restoration of the country, Poland was still restless and troubled everywhere. It not only occupied the Danzig Corridor and Danzig Freedom City occupied by the Germans, but also cut off the connection between Germany and East Prussia, and sent troops to interfere in the Soviet-Russian revolution and seize territory with the Soviet Union, which triggered the Soviet-Polish War. Poles killed100000 Soviet prisoners in the Soviet-Polish War. Poles' atrocities buried the bane of revenge in the hearts of Soviet troops.

1938, Germany invaded the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. As an ally, Poland not only failed to lend a helping hand to the Czech Republic, but took advantage of the fire to rob it and encroached on the "Cheshen region" of the Czech Republic, which triggered the anger of the Czechs. In anger, the Czech Republic simply voted for Germany. 1939, the German army invaded Poland flagrantly, and the Czech army, as the German servant army, took the lead in entering Poland, while the Soviet army in the east also attacked Poland on all fronts, killing tens of thousands of Polish elites in Katyn forest, causing the elite fault in Poland, which was regarded as revenge of the Soviet-Polish war. With the cooperation of Germany and the Soviet Union, Poland, the dung-stirring stick, once again disappeared from the world map for six years.
