Kashubians in West Prussia were a population with firmly Polish national identity, Roman Catholic religion, and they were strongly Anti-German.
Counties of West Prussia such as Puck (Putzig), Wejherowo (Weyersfrey), Kartuzy (Karthaus) and eastern part of Człuchów (Schlochau) had Kashubian majority. Kościerzyna (Berent) and Chojnice (Konitz) had mixed Kashubian-Polish majority. Counties such as Starogard (Stargard), Tczew (Dirschau), Tuchola (Tuchel), Świecie (Schwetz), western part of Kwidzyn (Marienwerder), eastern part of Złotów (Flatow), Chełmno (Kulm), Toruń (Thorn), Wąbrzeźno (Briesen), Lubawa (Löbau) and Brodnica (Strasburg) had Greater Polish (Greater Poles are a subdivision of Poles) majority. Danzig Highlands county had strong Kashubian and Greater Polish minority.
Wałcz (Krone), Człuchów (Schlochau) and counties east of the Vistula (Elbląg/Elbing, Malbork/Marienburg, Susz/Rosenberg) had German majority.

Generally the division of West Prussia between Poland and Germany after 1918 corresponded pretty well to ethnic structure of the region:
Yellow = to Poland after WW1
Green = to Free City Danzig
Red = to East Prussia
Blue = to Germany
Orange was part of Prov. Posen
German population censuses themselves (as well as the results of Reichstag elections) indicated that the Corridor had Polish majority:

Yea, the corridor definitely had a polish speaking majority. Mostly German to the east from Dirschau eastwards Posen was even more Polish save the occasional German settlement.

https://hetalia.fandom.com/wiki/Poland/Lithuania:
Poland/Lithuania is an extremely common pairing involving the characters Poland and Lithuania. It is also known as PolLiet or LietPol. [...]
It is thought by fans that Poland does care for Lithuania, yet is simply too stubborn to show it, preferring that Lithuania adjust to his rules rather than let him do as he wanted. In more recent strips, Poland is far less selfish than he used to be. His apparent nonchalant attitude about Lithuania being taken from him has also been interpreted as him trying to laugh off the unfortunate situation (and his own impending first partition).
The dream sequence in Chapter 5 has been interpreted as being about Poland's true feelings for Lithuania, although it could also be that Lithuania simply believes deep down that Poland actually cares for him that way (even with his frustration towards how he was treated).
Lithuania's scars are another subject of debate among fans, with most believing that Russia inflicted them himself when he bullied Lithuania. Poland's discovery of the scars tends to be seen as the moment that he "matured" in their relationship, after the two were reunited.
Other fans believe that their relationship is a lot more strained beneath the surface than it would seem, due to the Vilnius conflict.

Would it be appropriate for when I do the thread of the Poles in Argentina including the Lithuanians as well?
