Readers of These Posts

The overwhelming number of readers of these posts are in the United States.

However, they are getting views these days from 14 other countries and occasional views from twice that many.

It is not surprising that most foreign views come from our great neighbor to the north, Canada. Thank you Canada.

I am grateful to all the people who view What Then? After Canada the most views are coming from Estonia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.

Denmark and Malaysia provide the next greatest number of reads.

Germany and India have provided loyal readers.

Viewers from France, the United Arab Republic, Austria, South Korea, Russia, and Hungary keep coming back.

Thank you. Keep coming back. Leave me a comment now and then, even if you are from a clipping service.

A Kind of West Balt

I am curious about the Prussians and Prussia.

I'll begin to write out things that I think about those people and that place below. Please feel free to enlighten me where I am wrong or to comment as you will.

I think that they might be like Estonians or Latvians, but with a very different recent history.

Not very long ago Prussia disappeared, with the help of Russia, into the lands of Poland and Germany. "Prussia" may sound like Russia, but the two have not seemed to have gotten on well. Some say that Prussians are a kind of Pole or a kind of German. Some say that the German State began in Prussia. That may be true, and  many Prussians have spoken Polish and German; however, right now I believe that a Prussian is neither a Pole nor  German.

What do you think?
