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
```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
you can stay Lithuanian
but that just meant staying peasant mostly
tbh it blows my mind that a king of technically Lithuanian dynasty would shill for Ukraine to be annexed by Poland and taking it away from Lithuania
thats
