Altered Maps 3: The rise of the Basque Empire!

[Dachs]

Second peace of Thorn(1466) - 1795 is 329 years. 1796 - Unification of Germany (1871) is 75 years. Do the math.

Enless you count Germany as Prussia.

Except Prussia stopped being a Polish vassal in 1618 and didn't exist until 1525. That's less than a hundred years, compared to Prussia's existence as a state named 'Prussia' that lasts until 1947.

West Prussia was directly administered by Poland until the partitions, though.

What are the requirements for an airport to be on that map?

I believe it is anything with a runway.

It existed even earlier then 1466, i'm just being nice.

I think it's just referring to any major/minor municipal airport (like DTW or JFK) - if it was anything with a runway, there would be a crapton of red dots in the Great Plains.

Yes. Prussia was under Polish vassalhood for a long time period.
And that little German vassal later went on to subjagate half of Poland under its rule for a little more than a hundred years. Yay for Poland!

Oh look a map of Prussia!

It can't be - there are a couple ariports marked on the southern tip of south america that aren't major in any sense of the word - one of them seems to be in Puerto Williams - which isn't even a proper town - it's more like a naval base.

There are no major cities down there.

 

[say1988]

Though the local airport right near me is missing and several others that I know of in Southern Ontario. The one near me is primarily used by amateur pilots, sightseeing, and a few business jets, but some have short commercial routes.

Yah, with the help of a screwed up political system in Poland where half of the nobles were more powerful then the king and sided with Prussia/Austria/Russia, not to mention the latter two's assistance.

No country could survive that.

When a coalition of non-independent landowners becomes a state entity, let me know. Was the League of the Common Weal a state?

Why are there arguments about Poland in this thread?

 

[RedRalph]

Why are there arguments about Poland in this thread?

Is this a serious question?

 

[Huayna Capac357]

There are arguments about Poland on every thread. It's surprising when there aren't arguments about Poland.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Take a look at Cybrxkhan's Biggles-Pho-Kielbasa law. That will explain why there are so many Polish threads.

 

[holy king]

maybe you guys dont read the tags, so: NOBODY CARES ABOUT POLAND!
