There were also some townsmen, mainly members of the plebs social class, artisans and also minor merchants. Major part of these colonists were peasants and not very well-off knighthood and nobility - usually owners of only a part of a village up to one entire village. Social and regional composition of Polish colonists who settled in former pagan Prussian territories then held by the state of the Teutonic Order was varied. This ethnic Polish colonization of Prussia became even more intensive during the following centuries - 14th and 15th - and lasted as long as until the end of 17th century. Ethnic Poles started to settle in Prussia when armies of the state of the Teutonic Order supported by dukes of Poland and various crusaders and mercenaries from all around Europe conquered and captured territories of pagan Prussian tribes. The history of Polish colonization of Prussia goes back to the times of 13th century. Another factor which had got significant influence on the result of this plebiscite (carried out on ) was terror and persecutions of ethnic Poles - especially influential Polish political activists - organized and carried out by German authorities in East Prussia. Bolshevik armies were quickly approaching Warsaw and it was generally thought that Poland stood no chance for repulsing the Bolshevik invasion and remaining days of Poland were already counted, it would fell very soon. The main reason why southern part of East Prussia voted for Germany in 1920 was the fact that at the time when the plebiscite was carried out, the state of Poland was in an extremely dangerous and critical political and military situation. But southern part of East Prussia (so called Mazury in Polish) was ethnically Polish since the Middle Ages. Northern part of East Prussia (the part which belongs to Russia today) was never inhabited by any significant amounts of either Russians or Poles. Any such denial by states means that they value politics more than human lives and human dignity of those targeted by genocidal regimes.Matthewdenn wrote:although I will concede that I think that East Prussia should go back to Germany instead of this little hunk in Russian hands. Genocide denial does not have a place in 21 st century. Their persistence shows that the importance of such a formal recognition for their community and collective history. They continue to campaign to have the atrocities recognized as genocide. However, there is something to be learned from the perseverance of the Armenian communities. This does not give much hope to other, more contemporary cases of genocide. It is shameful that, a century after the Armenian genocide was unleashed, just 32 states have formally recognized the atrocities as genocide (apart from a few international actors including the European Parliament and Council of Europe, and civil society groups). Other states should follow and make a clear statement of recognition of the Armenian genocide. It sends a clear message of solidarity with the targeted communities. Is it crucial to deter similar crimes in the future. It is crucial for reconciliation and discovery of the truth. Such a formal recognition is crucial for survivors and their families in their efforts to move on. The formal recognition of historic cases as genocide is not a matter of semantics. The move from the US Senate comes only a couple of months after the US House of Representatives passed a resolution with the same message.
