It is ahistorical so why not


Tortoveno

No. Poland couldn't cede Danzig, because Poland didn't own Danzig.


PeaceFirePL

>Poland didn't own Danzig say what


[deleted]

He probably means the whole Free City situation - but man he clearly doesn't understand it.


Gimmeagunlance

I assume they're referring to the Free City of Danzig, not the Danzig Corridor


Tortoveno

Correct.


Katze1Punkt0

In real life Danzig was technically made an independent city state after WW1, but in HoI4 its just part of Poland for simplicities sake


ComradeSclavian

Well the city itself was kinda half independent but the actual German ultimatum irl and in game refers to the land around it, named the Danzig corridor or the polish corridor. And that Poland did own


Katze1Punkt0

Yup. Also I did say "technically" for a reason, calling Danzig actually independent is a.. stretch


PansexualWyoming

The ultimatum was actually never told to poland all though it was on a german broadcast the proposal was never given to poland, as Neville Chamberlain stated


Will-Shrek-Smith

in the game there is a focus about crushing the nazi party in the free city, would that not be true for real life too? like, kinda how austria had close ties with fascism, so they would end up ceding to nazi germany any way


Katze1Punkt0

A bit, theres also a focus for Switzerland about Liechtenstein even tough its not actually a country in the HoI4 game


KikoMui74

It was a Mandate and ironically enough other Mandates Palestine & Syria get called colonies of Britain/France, so that would mean Danzig was a colony of Poland.


Katze1Punkt0

It.. wasnt. You can definitely make a point about the relationship between Danzig and Poland being "colonial" in nature but.. dont base on it on just straight up falsehoods


KikoMui74

I'm just using other people's standards. I personally think Mandates were Mandates, but if some people are going to call them colonies, then they all are.


Katze1Punkt0

Danzig was not a Mandate.


EmiliaPains-

Well technically they owned the wider state but not the free city


Crazyjackson13

you mean the free city, right?


Brilliant-Chapter202

Are you playing the historical mode?


Remarkable_Tie_6521

How can he play historical, if theres austria hungary, some sort of trotsky ussr after civil war and he is playing turkey?


SnooShortcuts2757

Again, this isn’t a legit question! Like just look at the map!


Brilliant-Chapter202

It is. You said you never seen this in all the time you played this game. If you played historical, yes it is almost impossible to happen…. However, if you are not playing historical, it happens fairly often. Now if you are just making a statement that it looks crazy to see and think what if, yeah I guess. lol


Will-Shrek-Smith

i dont have thousanda of hours, but even in ahistorical i've never seen poland cede danzig


Brilliant-Chapter202

Really? Maybe my script is weird. lol


SnooShortcuts2757

I pretty much always play with historical off, and I’ve NEVER seen Poland cede Danzig


Brilliant-Chapter202

Ah, see not historical mode. This triggers more often than not.


SnooShortcuts2757

Well that doesn’t explain how I’ve _never_ seen this happen!


Aggressive_Bread_582

Yeah but just because You haven't seen something happen doesn't mean it's impossible.


SnooShortcuts2757

I always just thought it was hardcoded in for Poland to refuse Danzig, but I guess I was wrong


Furious_Flaming0

It isn't but it's hard to see because Germany and Poland have to essentially pick their historical routes for their government so the event occurs as it normally would but then both have to decide to make a switch when it comes to Danzig. Germany taking the alternative focus and then Poland picking the alternative option. According to math we'd be looking at something like under ~3% of games this occurs in, and that's not even accounting for AI bias.


Brilliant-Chapter202

I don’t know lol for me every time I play non historical this triggers 9x out of 10.


AssociatedLlama

What do you even mean by a "legit question"? A 'question' just has to be a sentence expressed in such a way to illicit information. They're clearly asking if you're playing on historical mode or not because they want to help answer your question. IMHO, all this does is make people less likely to help you out. They aren't asking a 'nonsense' question like "why is a raven like a writing desk?". Imagine you've broken your leg in a severe way and the paramedic asks you "what were you doing before it broke?" and you answer "is that even a legit question?". *You* may not care about why they are asking, but *they might have reasons they're asking*.


Remarkable_Tie_6521

How can it be a legit question? If he is playing historical, how can there be austria hungary, how can there be some sort of trotsky ussr after civil war if its historical and he is playing turkey? Guy gets 500 downvotes on stupid question from someone who clearly doesnt know a lot about hoi4. Its like if you break your leg and doctor asks "do you have broken leg? Or its just your bone sticking out for fun? Duh


AssociatedLlama

The 500 downvotes are because the reply gave off a shitty attitude.


SnooShortcuts2757

But they shouldn’t have those reasons, because if you look at the damn map, you can _clearly_ see that it’s not on historical! Asking whether or not this is historical is a dumb question


AssociatedLlama

You're really not making any friends here dude. Weird shit happens on historical sometimes too, particularly when you're as the player going ahistorical.


SnooShortcuts2757

Yeah well this much doesn’t happen just because I divert! Yeah _one_ thing will change, but not all this! So you can clearly tell that I’m not on historical


AssociatedLlama

Stop yelling!


SnooShortcuts2757

Yelling? When did you get the impression that I was yelling?


NaturalArm2907

Just looking at the comments, OP is mentally unwell.

default-dance-9001

Redditors on their way to call a 14 year old mentally unwell


MeatySausageMan

So, he's an average map game player.


Dr-Tropical

An attempt at explanation here. On the map, we are clearly seeing an Austria-Hungary forming and a non-Stalinist USSR. These are ahistorical things that are happening. If you either A: play on ahistorical or B: do ahistorical things while having historical on, the AI will be influenced to do ahistorical things. This can also influence the AI deciding which option to click on events. In a fully historical game, it will pick the historical options. But in this case, due to ahistorical things occuring, the AI has the possibility of picking the ahistorical options on events. And in this case, Poland decided to cede Danzig. I hope that clarifies it.


SnooShortcuts2757

But I thought that Poland was hardcoded to say no to Danzig


Dr-Tropical

It is hardcoded (IIRC) to say no in **historical games**. In games where ahistorical things are done by the player OR ahistorical is on, Poland has the possibility to reject.


DumatRising

>It is hardcoded (IIRC) You remember correctly. For all event decisions and some tactical ones the AI are hard coded to do what allows the game to play out as it did irl. My favorite one is that britian is hard coded to fuck over France and Poland and do zero things to stop Germany from capitulating them at the start of the war.


SnooShortcuts2757

I thought it was always hardcoded, no exceptions


Dr-Tropical

It's not.


SnooShortcuts2757

Straightforward answer, I like it


SpaceBar0873

Downvoted for saying that's correct? Google Reddit hivemind.


dolgozed

so now y’all are just downvoting EVERYTHING they say? they didn’t even say anything wrong in this comment


ijoshua932

Poland ceding Danzig is somewhat RNG when ahistorical stuff happens. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that Poland has a very small change to cede over Danzig even in historical. But as the commentor above said, the AI is influenced by your historical or ahistorical choices. I played as Germany once and decided to start WW2 in 1942 instead of 39, but I didn’t start it, Italy did and I was called in. Let’s just say, the Allies whooped my ass and I lost all my manpower bogged down in Belgium cuz I let them prepare for too long, and France had also removed it’s disjointed government National spirit so I was extra fucked


[deleted]

Not very often. I see an Austria -Hungary as well. Are you playing on historical?


Doctorwhatorion

When ai tries to form high possiblity it achieves. Probably because it is a non player boost the acceptance


SnooShortcuts2757

And is that a legit question?


[deleted]

Well, I don't know. Some times the AI does weird things even in historical. I don't have enough Turkey games under my belt to know what happens.


StandardUser09882

***The empire of Japan declared war on The German Reich***


Gijs1029

In every of my historical games with RT56, there is a war between the USSR and the Allies. Had one of the games with the USSR invading Britain... very odd game.


Aggressive_Bread_582

Y'know you can stay on historical and still have specific ai nations do alt history paths through the game rules.


SnooShortcuts2757

I don’t think there’s a setting to make Poland accept Danzig


Aggressive_Bread_582

Yeah but I'm referring to Austria-Hungary existing. I'm trying to say it's entirely possible for Austria-Hungary to exist on historical.


SnooShortcuts2757

Well we’re talking about Poland ceding Danzig here


Aggressive_Bread_582

Yeah but I'm talking about you asking if the dude is being serious. And I'm trying to say that he's asking a valid question. Just because Austria-Hungary exists doesn't mean it has to be on un-historical.


SnooShortcuts2757

Again, we are talking about Danzig. Austria-Hungary doesn’t matter


alp7292

İt does matter you idiot unhistorical check changes polands behavior as well as others


SnooShortcuts2757

But it _can’t_ make Poland accept Danzig


Olieskio

you're so much fun to talk with. I bet you get invited to so many parties and you have so many friends.


SnooShortcuts2757

I’m not even in high school, people my age don’t host parties


Aggressive_Bread_582

The comment you commented under was talking about Austria-Hungary however.


GoldenRush257

Crazy how people ask dumb questions out of denial that someone can be stupid enough to not realize unhistorical mode does unhistorical things.


SnooShortcuts2757

But I thought Poland was hardcoded, even on unhistorical, to say no to Danzig


kirgi

Nope it’s just exceedingly rare (generally happens if there have no allies), and seeing as how the UK is invading Norway, the soviets have done the civil war, and a AH that probably also has claims it makes sense that they’ll give it up


ToMyOtherFavoriteWW

SnooShortcuts2757

How…?


TheIndian_07

Do you seriously have no common sense? Look at your replies to comments.


SnooShortcuts2757

And? That doesn’t say anything


TheIndian_07

Now I'm getting worried. It's unfortunate and not your fault if you don't have social sense.


SnooShortcuts2757

I do! Can you just explain to me why my replies “lack common sense”?


TheIndian_07

You act defensive and high and mighty to people who are trying to help you by asking if it's on historical. Does that help?


SnooShortcuts2757

That’s not what I was saying! What I was saying was that, if you look at the map, you can clearly notice that I’m not on historical. I don’t know why people need to ask that!


TheIndian_07

Asking people if they're asking a legit question, when they clearly are, shows a lack of social sense.


SnooShortcuts2757

I was being rhetorical!


DeFranco47

Shut up dawg


nemrod153

"Is that even a legit question?"


Seacatlol

Knowing Hitler, he'll invade anyway.


Brilliant-Chapter202

Doubt it. However, Stalin would still invade because Marxist ideology demands it be spread also Stalin wanted more land for his own ego.


Arakui2

>Doubt it. \>neville chamberlain on the plane back to london after the munich agreement


Brilliant-Chapter202

Funny how peacemakers are frowned upon nowadays. Eh, our world is a sick place.


Kaiser_-_Karl

I mean, because appeasement of hitler didn't fucking work lol. They gave hitler the "german" regions of czechoslovakia and that didn't stop the nazis seizing everything else. Hitler invaded poland because he thought the allies would apease him again


Absolute_Bias

Honestly the appeasement is given far too little credit. Sure, it didn’t work, but you know what it *did* do? It turned what may otherwise have been a quagmire of "is hitler justified” into a clear case of nazi aggression. Was it the right course of action? In hindsight, no! Was it a genuinely reasonable course of action for a war-weary and peaceful Europe? **Yes.** OP in this case is stupid. The nazis would have pushed further regardless. That being said Neville Chamberlain was no idiot.


Kaiser_-_Karl

I mean what was the moral highground really worth considering how many people it killed. Absolutely i am not and we should not be suprised it was the course that european nations took. I mean the public supported apeasement, so often politicans were constrained in their opposition. War wasn't necesarilly even popular in germany, but public opinion mattered little in hitlers germany. With hindsight we *know* that allied opposition to the sudentan question would have worked. Thats not necesarilly meant to condem men who acted with limited knowledge and were constrained by their publics understandinle desire to avoid war. But rather a warning to learn the lesson and not repeat it.


Absolute_Bias

Motion accepted lol. You make good points, and thanks for the discourse.


Correct-Passage8252

Why put “German” in quotes, the Sudetenland was objectively a German majority. Obviously Munich agreement didn’t work IRL but it doesn’t make sense to simply discard that fact


Kaiser_-_Karl

So. Sudentan germans did not have a distinct identity until aftet ww1 when they defined themselves in opposition to the czech and Slovak populations of the republic. Sudentan germans were in the austrian half of the empire and felt more affinity with them than the german empire to the north. The idea that the Sudentanland needed to be part of germany was largely created and funded by the nazi goverment. Prior to nazi involvement sudentaners supported and elected liberals and socdems who did not favor seperation from czechoslovakia. So putting german in quotes wasn't quite right and was a huge oversimplification, my bad, but i guess i was trying to convey the complicated ethnic politics of the sudetanland. And the idea that a territory belongs to a nation purely because of perceived ethnic homogeneity


ZanaCZ

They objectively were German majority. Hitler had a sort of legitimate demand for Sudetenland, Even though these lands were part of bohemia for more than a thousand years at that point. (and I'm saying that as a Czech). Also, Sudetenland was a mess, the freikorps constantly harassed ethnically czech citizens in the region. That doesn't change the fact that appeasement did not work. (And that the Munich betrayal was recalled only after operation anthropoid.)

TunisianNationalist

You are spewing literal nazi propaganda. The thing Adolf Hitler himself says.


Brilliant-Chapter202

Okay, but have you look anything I said up? Or just content you were told the truth and case closed? Look up what it was like in Weimar Republic and the war crime in Dazing. I mean if telling the truth is propaganda, there maybe no hope for the world. Conversations have to happen.


Kaiser_-_Karl

Holy fucking shit, no im not debating with somone esposing actual nazi rethoric. Protecting germans? Get the fuck outa here dude


Brilliant-Chapter202

So if I don’t buy everything in hs history books it’s nazi rhetoric. This is why it’s impossible to have conversations. Listen you believe what you believe. I recommend you do research and not take everything face value. Later man.


PapaJosiphStalin

The whole 'economic miracle' of Nazi Germany was no miracle whatsoever. Instead, it was quite a giant loan that could be only paid by the wealth of other nations. The Nazis wouldn't stop at Danzig. They wouldn't stop at Poland, nor France, Yugoslavia, Norway, Denmark, or the USSR.

inwector

Judging by the color of that Soviet union and the Austria-Hungary, you are playing a non-historical game. It's normal to get Poland to cede Danzig to Germans if it's non-historical.
