Austria, Russia and Germany (Prussia in fact) destroyed Polish independence at the end of XVIII century and again after Napoleons times.
At the begining of WW2 Poland was divided by Germans and Russians only (Ribbentrop-Molotov pact). That agreement was in big part confirmed in Jalta - there is really no need for Germans if you want to divide someones else country (so one third or more of pre-WW2 Poland is now east of Polish borders). British and Americans can do it also, maybe even beter. Thank you allies.
Actually if I'm not mistaken Germany was actually divided into fifths, (and Berlin quarters). Britain, France, America and Russia and... Poland. Poland's part became an annexation though. Dissolving the aforementioned Prussia and Silesia.
Also the huge nation of Poland-Lithuania was at one time the largest in Europe.
You could say the
Poles have
shafted others in their time.
What went around came around.
Every nation could be labelled a rat fink by another nation whose interests collide.
