→Partition of Poland: new section
:::::: No, our schools did not lie. Losing the war and being invaded have a huge diffrence, you know? Finland surrendered, yes, due to several reasons, but was never invaded. Otherwisely we would still be under Soviet/Russian control, wouldn't we? Also, the Continuation War wouldn't have happened if Soviets would have invaded; of course the Finnish defence force would have been culled. So yes, it was a conflict, not an invasion. Please cease trying to tell me better of my own country's history - we do study it here, you know =D. (JK)

:::::::One of the reasons we have an encyclopedia is to explode myths and false stories, which indeed are taught in public schools. Anyone locked into what they were told at age 12 is unlikely to appreciate serious history. You might ask yourself how the Russians got on the north side of the Finnish defenses and forced a surrender if they did not invade.[[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 11:02, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

== Partition of Poland ==
The image used to illustrate the partition of Poland between the Nazis and the Soviets, [[:File:Communazipact1.JPG]], doesn't show that. Instead, it shows an early proposal for post-WWII Poland - note that East Prussia gets divided, with the eastern part "to Russia" and the western part "to Poland". The western border of the new Poland, in the middle of Silesia, is farther east than what was eventually agreed upon among the victors - I believe there was some confusion about which of two like-named rivers should become the new German-Polish border. Anyway, since the image is clearly inappropriate in this context, I removed it. [[User:Yoritomo|Yoritomo]] 18:52, 11 December 2009 (EST)
