> What happened to them?
Same that always happens with most collapsed "great states". Elites become to greedy it put all their interests before the nation. Who even need Poland when everyone was interested only what king of positions they can hold or their personal profits? Blame nobles for going full Res Publica.

Bolsheviks wasn't that powerful, being in civil war, ruling over already collapsed country, etc.

>Frederick had despised Polish people since his youth, and numerous statements are known in which he expressed anti-Polish prejudice,[77] calling Polish society "stupid" and stating that "all these people with surnames ending with -ski, deserve only contempt"[78] He passionately hated everything associated with Poland, while justifying his hatred with ideas of Enlightenment.[79] He described Poles as "slovenly Polish trash".[80][81]
>Frederick undertook the conquest of Polish territory as an enlightened and civilizing mission, particularly given his negative perceptions about Poland and the traditions of its ruling elite, all of which merely provided a convenient path for the "sanguine ameliorism" of the Enlightenment and heightened assurance in the "distinctive merits of the 'Prussian way'".[82][83] He prepared the ground for the partition of Poland-Lithuania in 1752 at the latest, hoping to gain territorial bridge between Pomerania, Brandenburg and East Prussian provinces.[84] Frederick was himself partly responsible for the weakness of the Polish government, having inflated its currency with Polish coin dies obtained during the conquest of Saxony in 1756. The profits exceeded twice the peacetime national budget of Prussia.[85] He opposed attempts of political reform in Poland, and his troops bombarded customs ports on the Vistula, thwarting Polish efforts to create a modern fiscal system.[86] As early as 1731 Frederick had suggested that the country would be well-served by annexing Polish Prussia in order to join the separated territories of the Kingdom of Prussia.[87]
But what you can expect from an abused, german nigger with inferiority complex. How many times did he get depressed on the battlefield? 10? If it wasn't for

>Now a Joke country
More /int/ than /his/, but I'd argue that things are looking up for them. Of the post-USSR Eastern European nations it's probably been the most successful in terms of economic and social growth, and takes military threats very seriously.
they are one of the good countries in modern Europe
