As of 2021
So they have everything there (Industry, Population ect). How would this affect the war and the years following
I advocate for Kaliningrad oblast to become Chad ๐ช๐ฟ Hungarian ๐ญ๐บโฅ๏ธ territory so that the Magyar bros rightfully regain sea access ๐๐ข. Sure, there's lots of expulsion to do (might not be the best idea) so what do you guys think about it?
I will visit Kaliningrad city, but what about the other towns in Kaliningrad oblast or forests or nature?
This is probably the first time I travel that far alone . I'm just starting to make plans but I would like to spend 3 days in Kaliningrad and the rest hanging around different places in the region . I already about the cathedral , rybnaya derevnya and the fortress at baltiysk but that's pretty much it heh . Could any local or someone who traveled there give me advice on how I should proceed , the places I should visit etc ? Thanks a lot :,-)
After WW2, parts of Germany were annexed into nearby countries, the region of Prussia for example was split between a Polish South and a Russian (at the time Soviet) North. I think the Northern part should have been made into a Jewish homeland instead of Israel and here are my reasons :
- After WW2 a large exodus of the East Prussian German population, the land was empty and it would eventually be filled with Russian settlers so "a land without a people for a people without a land" as the famous Zionist saying goes.
- The establishment of a Jewish homeland on previously German soil would have been considered as a form of "reparations" to Jews after the Holocaust.
- Russia wouldn't get a Baltic exclave that would be a source of major conflict today, especially for its Baltic neighbors and Poland.
- The issue with Palestine would be solved as there would be no Zionist state (though calls for such a state would still probably exist
- The German identity of the the region would be kept as most of the Jewish population that would settle would have been Yiddish speakers (basically a German dialect).
Now I do recognize some problems would have existed, many Zionists didn't want any land but specifically Palestine (which is something I disagree with but that's for another time) but in the large scheme of things, it would have been beneficial for everyone including Jews, Russians, Poles, Balts, Arabs and Germans. Keep in mind I am not discussing the possibility of that happening but rather the positive consequences it could have had.
