If it's wrong for Czechs to rule German majority Sudetenland, it is wrong for Germans to rule Polish lands.

That were never Polish lands.

Wilson promised to fight for the right of self determination of the people. Means people can decide which nation they want to belong.

That principle, enshrined into League of Nations and UN charta, was immediately thrown out for the looser of the first and second World War.

Non of the territories Poland gained after the wars was defined by popular vote. Instead it was decided that Poland “need” access to sea, so a corridor was cut into German territory without any consultation of the affected people if the want become Polish.

It was decided that Danzig should not be German, without asking its citizen. Contrary any citizen of Danzig that would have declared his preference of Germany was to be immediately deported to Germany.

Self-determination of people, my ass!

The only vote that was held because the PTB expected a different result, “Polish” Silesia voted to 70 percent to remain with Germany. Poland could gain only through generous gerry-mandering by the allies.

Austria was forbidden to reunite with the rest of Germany in 1918 and after the second World War.

The Austrian vote twice, once unanimous including the communist and with a overwhelming large majority for reunification with Germany. Today it is a crime punishable up to ten years of jail (same as holocaust scepticism) to call for unification with Germany or even to mention that Austrians are Germans too.

Poles live there. Poles are a majority. Thus it is Polish land.

Answer this; If roles had been reversed and Poland ruled Prussia, would you say "Oh it's nat german land?"

Well?

Wilson promised to fight for the right of self determination of the people. Means people can decide which nation they want to belong.

And all of the places in question were Polish majority.

Non of the territories Poland gained after the wars was defined by popular vote.

Yes they were. They were taken by the final popular vote; the sword. They were Polish majority and this is why the Poles so easily took them from the outnumbered German police. To deny this is to deny observable fact.

The exception to this was Dansig and the land around it.

Now, normally I'd state that Danzig was German and thus should go to Germany. But you seem to have no problem with the multiculturalist imperialism of Germans ruling over Poles. So if that is the case, why should it not be the other way around?

Tell me, what nationality are you? Would YOU want to be ruled by foreigners? (technically we already are and that's the problem)

It was decided that Danzig should not be German, without asking its citizen

Yes. Awful. A crime against Germany. A crime against humanity.

We agree.

Now I ask you, should Polish majority lands be awarded to Germany without a vote?

Poland could gain only through generous gerry-mandering by the allies.

Actually, that division of land is not so bad if you look at it from a nationalist's perspective rather than a civic nationalist's perspective. The borders were divided baded on ethnic majority. Look at a map.

Austria was forbidden to reunite with the rest of Germany in 1918 and after the second World War.

All Germans should be united. That's my point. And all Polacks should be united.

Why should one people be united and anotehr people not be?
