[Pearls Before Swine]

“Trump divides Germany and Poland”.

As if Poland and Germany have been unified over the years. Think back to World War II, when Germany and Russia attacked and divided up Poland. That’s left a mark in Polish national memory.

[Verginius Rufus]

That wasn’t the first time. In the late 18th century Prussia, Austria and Russia partitioned Poland until there was nothing left...from 1795 to 1918 Poland did not exist as an independent nation.

[Cronos]

The 1939 carve up of Poland between Germany and the USSR was the fourth time that happened -- in 1770 the Prussians and the Russians and the Austrians carved up parts of Poland and did it twice again in the next 20 years, finally wiping Poland off the map for 123 years until 1918

however Poland-Lithuania at one point was the largest European state in size and wsa the only power to ever conquer Moscow and seat their King as Tsar (1610)
