I thought you treat it as a core territory now

sort of

before ww2/ww1 people didnt have same concept of nationality/ethnicity

so whats the most Lithuanian city 🤔

Kaunas ?

being catholic meant you're polish most of the time

probably idk

aren't Lithuanians catholic

they are but we werent before the poles came

we didnt even have last names before that

as we had no christian marriages

the last pagan nation

hence why so many last names are of Polish origin

We treat Slovakia as ours <:brainlet:395711607554048000>

in yurop

and to marry you basically had to be christian and that basically meant speaking Polish

ov vey its anudah TRIANON

in other words getting polonized

uh I've heard like

Lithuanians say that Poles were forcibly polonising Lithuania 🤔

but afaik the Lithuanian nobles were polonising them voluntarily

it's hard to imagine the process of polonization as someone just standing there and beating you with belt until you become Polish

*themselves

because it was more convenient

it's a long process

```they are but we werent before the poles came```

it was voluntary and not voluntary at same time

voluntary as it was more convenient but

stahp Poles were never oppressive!!

we no russians!

non voluntary as in we didnt really have other choice

*except towards ukropiteks maybe*

if you compare it with today;s populations

>non voluntary as in we didnt really have other choice

you had a choice

stay lithuanian

we have about 3 million people

🤔

and Poles have ~38 million people

if these countries merge obviously there will be huge cultural influence

so was during those times
