https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonization

In 1920, after the staged mutiny of Lucjan Żeligowski, Lithuanian cultural activities in Polish controlled territories were limited and the closure of Lithuanian newspapers and the arrest of their editors occurred. 33 Lithuanian and Belarusian cultural activists were formally expelled from Vilnius on 23 January 1922 and deported to Lithuania. In 1927, as tensions between Lithuania and Poland increased, 48 additional Lithuanian schools were closed and another 11 Lithuanian activists were deported. Following Piłsudski's death in 1935, the Lithuanian minority in Poland again became an object of Polonization policies with greater intensity. 266 Lithuanian schools were closed after 1936 and almost all Lithuanian organizations were banned. Further Polonization ensued as the government encouraged settlement of Polish army veterans in the disputed regions. About 400 Lithuanian reading rooms and libraries were closed in Poland between 1936 and 1938. Following the 1938 Polish ultimatum to Lithuania, Lithuania re-established diplomatic relations with Poland and efforts to Polonize Lithuanians living in Poland decreased somewhat.

Poland was Imperialistic power, don't pretend otherwise.

No that must all be a misunderstanding!

Therefore, when asked about what to dislike most about one's own country, Peterska answered: It's neighbors.

I see the names of the German pops are still in English. Did you decide to leave them in English? Smitty was right saying that people unfamiliar with Germany won't know where Lower Saxony, Franconia, etc. are either.

No, we can change them into German. This is not final version, just provisional. Austrian averages aren't final either. And maybe some German too.
Will ask rothaer what he thinks about it.

Good.
I wonder why other Germans are not participating. I don't know too many of them. The OP never posts here, Kyp is mixed and apparently doesn't care much about German/European genetics (he identifies more with Turco-Muslim culture than whites). Teutone never cared about Gedmatch either. Armatus? I don't know if he's still around.

Is the PCA using G25? Can you tell me more about the Central East Prussia samples? Which localities are considered part of this sample. Thanks

Would be nice to have Aynoora back, she was lovely and very interested in genetics

Euroogenes K13 PCA. Central East Prussia is from Braunsberg, she plots like extreme NW German with Baltic (old Prussian) admixture.

And apparently you are also using a sample of a Klaipeda Region Lithuanian as a German.

Because they are ethnic Lithuanians - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_Lithuanians

Missed this. Stop trolling.

A Lithuanian census carried out in the region in 1925 found its total population was 141,000. Declared language was used to classify the inhabitants, and on this basis 43.5 percent were German, 27.6 percent were Lithuanian, and 25.2 percent were "Klaipėdan" (Memelländisch).

The inhabitants of the area were not given a choice on the ballot whether they wanted to be part of the Lithuanian state or part of Germany. Since the pro-German political parties had an overall majority of more than 80% in all elections to the local parliament (see election statistics below) in the interwar period, there can be little doubt that such a referendum would have been in favour of Germany. In fact, the area had been united since the monastic state of the 13th century, and even many Lithuanian-speakers, regarding themselves as East Prussians, declared themselves as "Memellanders/Klaipėdiškiai" in the official census (see below for demographic information) and did not want to belong to a Lithuanian national state.

Yeah and she's very Germanic, although doesn't look like Judith Rakers.

Many Germans don't look like that at all. I really have no idea why people think dark natives are a odd occurence there. I've been there recently and they aren't overly blond.

I know. Germans are very diverse. Even politicians for example (obvious minorities are easy to exclude and Jews are pretty rare in modern Germany).
