Prussia back on the map?

Prussia was part of Germania in Roman times anyway.

Who says the Poles are native to Poland? My atlases do not.

1. Old Prussians were Balts who were ethnically clenased for being pagan. Germans love to commit ethnic cleansing, don't they?

2. The Germans aren't native to Prussia. It was inhabited by Slavs and Balts until the Germans came and wiped them out from existence during the Northern Crusades.

Tacitus included tribes of Balts and Finns in Germania. There were no Slavs then, and even later, the Goths and Vandals were there, not Slavs. From whence did the Slavs come? The Slavs are an historical accident of Steppe warfare in eastern Europe.

Since the fall of the aristocracy after WWI, it's been the most liberal part of Germany. So, the beneficiaries would probably be the rest of Germany. Not much of Prussian land is left anyways, most of it has been given to Poland and other countries, and settled with Poles who were pushed out of lands to the east that Poland lost to the USSR after WWII.

Like Russia will give up Kaliningrad for poor 'ol Germans. It was conquered by the Russians as result of Germans' policy of warmongering, and the Germans need to accept the consequences of their actions.

Tacitus' "Finns" are most likely not Finns.

Germania is a funny thought because the Romans never conquered the region. It's ridiculous to think they knew the exact extent of Germans living in the area let alone the Slavs...

What about the Estonians?

What about them?

They are listed among the peoples of Germania. Why are the Finns not Finns?

The Fenni of Tacitus are today widely regarded as forebears of the Sámi. The Aestii could as well be a Baltic tribe, we can't say for sure.
