Polish Megulomania - The Polish Self Image

The first partition of poland took place in 17 72, after which russia, prussia and austria just didn't know how to stop. There's a wonderful letter in which frederick the great says of maria theresa: 'You and i are just simple criminals' And remember that polish ses got to moscow. I actually have at home a mid seventeenth century map which shows the frontiers of poland as the wings of a polish eagle. The tip of one wing reaches to moscow,. The tip of the other wing reaches to berlin. Polish megulomania had its moment next week. How do you survive as a na without a state?
