Kinda wish we knew more about the brief control over Slovakia. I’ve researched it a bit, but there isn’t much historical sources to go on.

Good riddance- some of the people living in these areas were discriminated against for not being Polish.
For example Belarusian language and culture was heavily suppressed by them and many were forced to assimilate unfortunately.
Especially during two periods Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569–1795) and the Second Polish Republic (1918–1939) so its good that Poland lost these “territories “ that were never Polish

I was born in Northern Romania (Bukovina) and to think that it was once part of Poland is crazy. Make Poland Great Again!

I remember speaking to a Polish guy, a lecturer in Polish history and someone with a PhD in Polish History. After all his study and analysis over decades, he concluded that Poland has never really existed. I presumed he was trolling, or that he was a Russian sympathiser, but no.
Most other Poles I have known were extremely nationalistic. This guy was still a patriot, but not a nationalist.
I think he did acknowledge there was a 20 year period where Poland existed. I wish I had got more details.

It would be good to also include borders in 1772 (it included Warmia, Malbork, Gdańsk, Elbląg).

Kind of ironic that they never controlled Berlin
Good old times. Lwów (Lviv) is under occupation since 1939 🙁
First map has a mistake, Lwów was part of Cherven Cities (and Poland) in 1018 according to original map of Semkowicz from 20s, next versions reducing it to nonsense borders (no hills) were created after 1945 in propaganda aims. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grody_Czerwie%C5%84skie#/media/Plik%3ASemkowicz_Polska_Chrobry.png
