He and Catherine the Great colluded to pretty much delete Poland from existence.

It was ironic that Prussia was basically a vassal state of Polish kingdom at one point.

I asked a German friend once if the word in German for Poland didn’t mean “buffer zone.” He didn’t think it was too funny. Another time at some party a Japanese girl asked one of my Chinese friends what city in China he was from. I said, “Let’s hope not Nanking.” My other Chinese friend thought that was rude but I told him that kids her age in Japan had absolutely no clue about what Japan did there back then because their history classes had been “cleaned up.”
