Simply put, it is - changing cages for birds.
Russia did not need to assimilate Königsberg at all, it was enough to drive out all the local Germans and move the Russians there. This trick is simple and effective, and Russia has done the same in Siberia and the Outer Northeast. The Europeans also used this trick to occupy North America and Australia, the North American Indians were almost exterminated, and the indigenous people of The Australian island of Tasmania have become extinct.
The English could not drive the Scots away, nor could they wipe them all out.
Kaliningrad Oblast is an enclave of Russia with an area of 15,000 square kilometers, bordering the Baltic Sea and bordering Lithuania and Poland. The capital is Kaliningrad, formerly known as Königsberg, part of East Prussia. Many self-media on the Internet claim that this is the birthplace of Germany, but this is actually a misunderstanding.
Modern Kaliningrad originated in 1255 as a stronghold established by the Teutonic Knights here and was named Königsberg in honor of King Ottoka II of Bohemia. In 1410 the Order state was defeated by Poland-Lithuania, the western lands including Danzig and Fort Maria were ceded to Poland, and the eastern part, including Königsberg, remained part of the Order but submitted to Poland.
In 1525, Albrecht changed the Order state to the Duchy of Prussia and established himself as Duke of Prussia.
In 1594, Johann Sigismund, Elector of Brandenburg, married the daughter of the Duke of Prussia. In 1618, the Duke of Prussia died without leaving any heirs, and the Duchy of Prussia was placed under the Elector of Brandenburg.
In 1655-1660, war broke out between Poland and Sweden, and the Elector of Brandenburg united with Poland against Sweden and won. Brandenburg gained sovereignty over the Duchy of Prussia, and Brandenburg-Prussia was established.
In 1700, Friedrich III received the title of king from Leopold I of the Habsburg dynasty, and the Duchy of Prussia became the Kingdom of Prussia.
In January 1701, Friedrich III was crowned King of Prussia in Königsberg.
After the establishment of the Kingdom of Prussia, the territory expanded, and three Silesian wars captured Austrian Silesia. In 1772, Poland was first divided with Russia. In 1740 the Kingdom of Prussia covered an area of 120,000 square kilometers, and in 1786 it expanded to 195,000 square kilometers, increasing its population from 2.25 million to 3.5 million.
In 1793, Poland was divided for the second time, and in 1795 Poland was divided for the third time, taking Danzig, Toruń, South Prussia and other places, and incorporating the entire Prussian region into the territory.
After defeating Napoleon in the early 19th century, the Kingdom of Prussia expanded to nearly 280,000 square kilometers and had a population of more than 10 million, becoming a European power.
The next thing can be seen in the history books, the Kingdom of Prussia led the unification of Germany, and from 1864 to 1871, The Three Wars of Prussia, Austro-Prussia and Prussia were all won, establishing German Germany. It has an area of 550,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly 65 million in 1910.
In 1914-1918, the German Empire was dismembered in world war I, and large areas of land in the east were assigned to Poland, but Königsberg remained Part of Germany.
Königsberg was severely damaged during World War II. Occupied by SL on 9 April 1945. After the war, East Prussia was divided between SL and Poland. In 1946 Königsberg was renamed Kaliningrad (Калининград), and East Prussia, which was assigned to SL, was renamed Kaliningrad Oblast, with the capital being Kaliningrad. After the dissolution of SL, it belonged to Russia.
After Königsberg was occupied by SL in 1945, only about 5,000 SL people lived there. SL carried out cage-changing birds, drove the Germans away, and moved SL people in large numbers, permanently changing the local demographic and cultural structure, with more than 100,000 Germans expelled from October 1947 to October 1948 and 400,000 SL arriving in the state in 1948. Today, the vast majority of Kaliningrad's inhabitants are descendants of SL people who migrated after 1945.
The 2010 Kaliningrad census showed that ethnic Russians made up 87.4 percent, Ethnic Ukrainians 4 percent, Belarusians 3.7 percent, Armenians 0.8 percent, Tatars 0.5 percent, Lithuanians 0.4 percent, and Germans 0.4 percent.
There were not many Germans in Kaliningrad anymore, and Scotland was still Scottish.
There are currently more than 5 million people living in Scotland, most of whom consider themselves Scottish, while there are more Scots overseas, the United States and Canada are around 5 million, and Australia is about 2 million.
Scotland and England were merged by agreement, rather than England conquering Scotland, and England did not want to assimilate Scotland completely. The Scots considered themselves natives of the island of Great Britain and regarded the English as outsiders, and the two sides had always been at odds.
