History

Ancient settlement

For thousands of years until 1945, the Vistula basin was split between Slavic/proto-Slavic and Germanic/proto-Germanic, with one occasionally gaining a temporary edge over the other. Generally, the Lower Vistula (closer to the Sea) was Germanic, while further inland it became Slavic.

Protoslavic tribes (Lusatia and Przeworsk Culture) occupied large parts of the Vistula Basin in the first Millennium before Christ, but were pushed out by East-Germanic tribes (most notably the Suebi

World War II and Aftermath

The Second World War was sparked by conflict over control of the mouth of the Vistula. The formerly-German city of Danzig (today Gdansk) lies near the mouth of the river, where the Vistula meets the Baltic. National-Socialist Germany desired to fully incorporate that city (98.5% of whose inhabitants were native-German-speakers) into Germany and thereby connect East Prussia to the rest of Germany. Poland had designs on the city to give them a seaport, which had been promised them in the aftermath of World War I by the League of Nations. Both sides refused to budge from their positions. The diplomatic stalemate finally resulted in war between the German and Polish states on September 1, 1939. Earlier that year, Britain and France had given a war guarantee to Poland, and -- in a replay of July 1914 -- both Britain and France were drawn into a territorial conflict between Germans and Slavs. The failure to avert war over the status of the Mouth of the Vistula is seen by many historians as one of the worst diplomatic blunders in European history, due to its implications (the rise of communism, the shattering of European morale which still lingers on to this day). There is another version of this history on Wikipedia - a totally different one - see http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prowokacja_gliwicka

The Upper Vistula, after the emergence of Poland

in 966, had been solidly Slavic territory; the Lower Vistula (near the delta and the Baltic Sea) had been Germanic for nearly as long as identifiably-Germanic people existed in Europe. The past three millennia saw a general push by Germanics east and south in the Vistula Basin, as Slavs pushed north and west, with neither ever attaining sustained domination over the entire river basin. This was changed after the postwar mass expulsion of Germans

Expulsion of Germans after World War II

from the area by Stalin.

In 1945, the victorious Stalin changed the longstanding Germanic-Slavic balance of the Vistula Basin by means of ethnic cleansing

Ethnic cleansing

Ethnic cleansing is a euphemism referring to the persecution through imprisonment, expulsion, or killing of members of an ethnic minority by a majority to achieve ethnic homogeneity in majority-controlled territory....
(a tactic employed by the Soviet Union across its empire). In 1945, all Germans from the Vistula basin (along with those in East Prussia and the Oder basin) were expelled from their homes, and their property was seized. They were forced to walk westwards to the rump German state, and many died along the way. Ever since 1945, the entire Vistula basin has thus been Polish-dominated territory for the first time in history.

Today, the Vistula is part of the Polish heartland, a far cry from being "the eastern reaches of Germany/Germania" as it had been since for most of the period since Iron Age

. The eastern border of Germany was shifted west by Stalin, Rosevelt and Churchil to the Odra-Nysa Luzycka Line.

Alternative versions of the history

As one can see in Polish wikipedia, there are significant differences in the history writing of Vistula basin. The major points of difference are:

Romans never invaded the regions between the Odra-Nysa Luzycka and the Bug
There was an unbroken genetic continuity of the inhabitants over the last 3500 years, which would suggest that Polish tribes lived here for a long time and successfully defended against invaders,
German states got complete control of the region only in the time 1795-1812, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 .
Poland had sovereignty over Pomerania and Prussia for centuries http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalendarium_historii_Gda%C5%84ska).
In Prussia, the and Jadzwings (both related to Lithuanians) lived for centuries until 14th century, when first Germans came to take over the land and the "trademark" (the name Prussia)
Western Slavonic tribes lived in whole Pomerania and 1000 years ago were present also west of the Odra-Nysa Luzycka (a Luzyczan minority still left there, http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%81u%C5%BCyczanie) stretching to Elbe and beyond. So the Odra-Nysa Luzycka line is a kind of historical compromise.
Hitler invaded Poland because of his racist ideology (space for life for Germans, who were "supermen", and the Slavic nations, Jews etc. were "underhumans") and intended to exterminate Polish population, which he partially succeeded to do, destroying life and property. (Twelve millions Poles died. The follow-up action against Jews, who lost six million people, was a next step, and happily Hitler failed on these and further steps, see ).
Nearly every Polish family claimed a loss of life so that the victorious powers decided to separate the nations in order to establish a lasting peace in Europe.

connects to the river), Vistula can accommodate modest river vessels of CEMT class II. Further upstream the river does not have enough depth to allow river barges to navigate.

Upstream of Warsaw, a project was undertaken to enlarge the capacity of the river by building a number of locks in Cracow area; this project was never prolonged further downstream, so that the navigability of the Vistula remains problematic. The potential of the river in the decades to come would increase considerably if a restoration of the East-West connection via the Narew
