It didn't cause a civil war but Western Rome didn't end because of civil wars, not directly. It ended because the migrating Germanic tribes established their own kingdoms within its borders, and doctrinal division was a factor in keeping Germans separate and distinct from the Romans.
Other. If it had a negative influence - and I don't think we can answer that with certainty - it's because it was divisive, not between Christians and the Roman religion, but between different groups of Christians, moreso than Greco-Roman polytheism.
Question: if the Nicene/Arian divide did not...
Regarding both Silesian and the Eastern dialects, Poland is not like Italy or Germany, with very distinct regional dialects / languages. Other than Silesian, the dialects of Polish are very much mutually understandable - the Eastern ons distinguished by their accent, but definitely not enough...
Pole here. Some things that I know for a fact are wrong:
1. Ranges of Kashubian anf Silesian are exagerated, unless just a couple speakers is enough to stripe a place and even then are too much. Here's a map, of Kashubian based on the 2002 census. Forgive me putting the whole link here, I'm...
I don't think a change in the migrations period would do much, and I don't think it's necessary because differences between the tribes in the area weren't all that great up to founding of first states and christianization. What made the Polish tribes on the right bank of the Vistula really...
First things first: Danzig was not given to Poland. It was a free city throughout the interbellum period. Poland received a part of West Prussia province, which is known as the "Polish Corridor", which, btw, had no ports of note (one was built in 1920s by the Poles, since Danzig was unreliable)...

It shows the extent of Polish (Silesian) language in Silesia, and not the extent of nationalities.
Red: Lands populated in whole or in part by Poles.
Blue: Lands populated in whole by Germans (German was used pretty...
The Czechs would dominate in a medieval union between Poland and Bohemia, and if it gets centralized, the most likely candidate for a capital is Prague, or some significant city in Silesia (more or less mirroring Warsaw, which became the capital of Poland-Lithuania).
In 1200s and 1300s there...
Perhaps. I'll have to remember "guaranteed success" and "increased chance of success" mean the same thing. Thanks.
The main reasons of their rebellion were:
-Tsar's government breaking Poliand's constitution,
-General butthurt.
None of those are gonna change if Congress Poland is enlarged a...
They had that sort of autonomy, a separate Kingdom in personal union with Russia, with its own army and constitution. It ended with the failed November Uprising.
I never said that. Come to think of it, however, (assuming there is still a recognizable WWII and that this East Prussia would either be autonomous within Poland or neutralized and thus self-ruling like a huge Danzig Free City) if in effect the Polish are able to withstand Fall Weiss and give...
