And partially wrong, too. There was no Poland between 1850 and the end of WW1.

Well, TheOther


I think they called Poland German or others.

That is why there isn't any Polish. Can't understand it at all.

Thanks for replying. I felt it is good to know.

No, they actually give the impression that Poland never ceased to exists (see second paragraph), which is historically wrong.

Quote: "...the 1850s to the early 1920s, and was driven primarily by economic and structural change in Poland".
