When you expel 3 milion people from their centuries old homeland on the ground of their ethnic group that is ethnic cleansing.
Like the sudeten germans did not cover themselves in glory for the short time the term was applicable to a group of people, but what happened to them was ethnic cleansing and we are doing ourselves no favors by pretending otherwise.
Imagine what would happened in 90’s without the post WW2 resettlements. Yugoslavia would look like a picnic in comparison, entire Eastern Europe would be like Ukraine now. Stalin continue to save millions even decades after his death.
Also obligatory fuck prussia, original western settler project.
They got German citizenship ffs. “Ethnic cleansing”.
