Below is an image of how I see Europe. It is a compromise between the Polish desire for it to be considered "Western", whilst still acknowledging that they are basically Russian.

Wouldn't that be Northern Europe?

Approximations are useless when dealing with Poles.

Here is a compromise everyone, give us back Lwow, Luck, Bresc, Grodno and Vilnius and then we can be Eastern European.

Done, if Germany gets Schlesien, Posen, Pomerellen, and Westpreußen back.

Surprised you said Vilnius instead of Wilno, actually.

No, Polish influence on that battle was worthless at best. It was all Austrians with the help of their Holy Roman allies that won the battle and beat back the Turks. Everyone knows this.

I slipped.

I accept that offer. Because then I would be German and could support a successful national team!!

Give Lwow, Luck, Brest, Grodno and Vilnius back to Poland,
and Poland back to Russia.

Actually, it's more because Kara Mustafa was a terrible general.

Generals who lose battles and more importantly wars, are not often remembered for being "great".
