Well, teribums, I may not know WW1 history but I do know quite a bit about Poland and a lot about my family. They were from Byalistok, near the borders of Belarus, Lithuania, the Ukraine and Kalingrad. In its history both Poland and Bialystok have been invaded and ruled by various other countries but in all that time, they both still existed. My family still may or may not have left Poland. or whatever it may or may not have been called at the time.

You are making the same assumption as you have in the other posts, that something that did not happen would have, None of this is fact as it did not happen. You will note that I said WW2 may not have happened. Had WW1 not panned out the way it did so many things may or may not have happened that my Gradfather may or may not not have left Russia, my Grandmother may or may not have married someone else and my Dad may or may not not have been born. It is all fantasy. It never happened. And if that is your best shot at abuse you are still firing blanks :-)
