Lost Polish territories

I started talking about this a bit on another thread(about Macedonia and it's lost territories,and I was explaining Poland's situation on lost territories) and someone suggested I should open a thread about this, because it would be an interesting discussion. I'll paste what I wrote on the subject and tell me what you think of the subject:

"Well technically, it's already been reunited since WW1, but after WW2 it lost most of its historic territories to the East. I understand about giving territories to Lithuania, because it was part of Poland. But I think giving Lviv/Lwow to Ukraine was a big mistake. It's undeniable that it should belong to Poland, it has nearly always belonged to Poland, until the partitions. And it's not like the Ukraine needs it, the country is already bigger than Poland. Most of the territories lost to Poland after WW2, were just to make the neighbouring emerging states have a faster building and better economy. For example, they gave a bit of territory majoritarily inhabited by Polish people to the Czech republic, just because in that territory there was a strong mining industry. Today, Poland is feeling the effect of this mistake (my opinion) with it's "highest unemployment rate" in Europe.

Also, it is the same case for Belarus, Slovakia and Ukraine. They received those territories because of its important industries. Also, why give a piece of territory North of Poland to Russia. It is obvious that ethnically it didn't belong to Russia nor historically. I say it should have been given to Lithuania, if Poland wouldn't have been the first contender.

Another remark that I'd like to make is that why they didn't just give more Russian territory to Belarus and Ukraine instead of Polish territory."

I think it has nothing to do with a notion "mistake".

It was the well planned decision of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill.

I dont miss for any old eastern polish territories except Lwow city.

You can't dwell in the past about these things, if you go historically we could rationalize the lack of an entire polish state. I mean its fine and all to reflect on how Poland made these cities great but they aren't polish anymore, think of them as Poland's daughters that grew up. Sure they're still in the family, but their married to other people now and they have another family.

Same goes for other nations with claims, if you can still celebrate and reflect on your mother nation's heritage than just deal with the current geopolitical situation. Borders are losing barrier status anyway.

eh painful discusion (lithuanians could win first place for lost grounds too many wars, too many ocupations...nothing remained)

Super Powers are usualy ignorant when it comes to anything outside thier own borders. They are too quick to judge other nations, and not quick enough to reflect apon their own actions.

Hmm ..and when they leave EU..have I missed some event ?
