    I noticed some comments on youtube where an increasing amount of Poles and Lithuanians would like to restore Commonwealth.

    Unfortunatelly, there's no such a group. Are you from Klaipeda?

    What is weird about that? Poland has bilingual street names in areas with minorities (including Punsk):

    Is this normal?:

    I didn't say that something was weird about it. I'm saying that because of that people might hold some anti-Polish views. Since there's also Russians, some Georgians, Armenians and other ethnicities, I guess people think that they will demand street names in their languages too. I don't endorse what happened to that 16 year old boy. There was also a conflict between 2 Ukrainian workers and 2 Lithuanians at night a few days ago. They were drunk and got into a fight. One Lithuanian was injured with a knife. So yes, ethnic conflicts do happen, we are not perfect. In certain neighbourhoods there are lower income families with more aggressive people. We also have one of the highest suicide rates. What else is new? All I'm saying is that I never really encountered anything anti-Polish in my region and that Polish-Lithuanian relationship in general is moving towards a positive direction

    I wonder what would have happened if Gdansk/Danzig had remained German after WW1 and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was created with access to the Baltic Sea north of Klaipeda or Klaipeda itself?

    Doesn't make sense. Gdansk was Polish until 1793, when Prussia took it from Poland by force.

    Klaipeda (German: Memel) was historically part of East Prussia and also a German-majority city (while surrounding rural areas were mostly Lithuanian just like the so called Polish Corridor west of Gdansk was mostly Polish).

    East Prussia had areas with Lithuanian population in the east (Memelland, Klein Litauen) and with Polish population in the south (Southern Warmia, Masuria). It only made sense to incorporate entire East Prussia and Danzig into the restored Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Perhaps with some sort of local autonomy in German-speaking areas.

    Sudetenland with ca. 3.5 million Germans was also incorporated into Czechoslovakia.

    Danzig (the city) was mostly German speaking at the time and I think in the Memelland, many settlers from Lithuania migrated to East Prussia after being largely depopulated by the Great Plagues. I believe the Salzburgers came about that time or later on as well. I would imagine much of West Prussia to be Kashubian with German minorities and majorities depending on the city or village.

    As you probably already knew, plenty of ethnic Germans fought against the Teutonic Order and aligned with Poland in those medieval times. Regardless of ethnicity, people tend to look out for themselves and seek advantageous political and economic alliances, especially back then.

    My oldest child has a mother of Kashub origin btw ha
