On the Territorial changes of Poland page is says there was a border adjustment with Czechoslovakia in 1951 and with Germany in 1949. But I can't find any info about these exchanges. -- Esemono (talk) 04:13, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


it is not polish-Lithuanian commonwelth, but Lithuanian-polish commonwelth...and remove it from polish territorial changes page, because it is not poland, but commonwelth

1st. You don't know what You're talking about. Whole Commonwealth, from outside was named simply as Poland. Only from Moscow's perspective Commonwealth was named as Речь Посполита i.e. Republic. Though in 18th century even in Russia name Poland (Польша) was prefered. The fact, partitions in whole Europe were named as Partitions of Poland, but not as Partitions of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Even in Russia, despite existed name Речь Посполита all 3 partitions were named as Разделы Польшы. Wikipedians should use historical forms naming events, that are used in professional historiography. Also from inside perspective whole Commonwealth was named as Poland too, even Lithuanians did. So just shut up, and don't make shame for Lithuanians. 2nd. This animated map lacks period from 1807-1815 when Duchy of Warsaw was expanded after 1807 war. Now is unclear how Austrian empire lost lands between Vistula and Bug. Best regards, Marijonas. --84.15.109.176 12:04, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
