Apologies for the long question; however, here goes:
If Germany would have won World War I (or at least won World War I in the East with a stalemate in the West--perhaps due to no German resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, which results in continued U.S. neutrality in World War I) and would have still acquired Brest-Litovsk-style territorial gains in the East, would large numbers of Eastern Europeans (especially, but not only, Poles and/or Ukrainians) have immigrated to Germany in the decades afterwards?
Indeed, I would think that a Germany which won World War I (or at least achieved a partial victory in World War I--with it being allowed to keep its Eastern territorial gains afterwards) would have become very prosperous in the decades afterwards, thus possibly being a *very* attractive target to Eastern Europeans (who will want to immigrate to and to settle in Germany).
Anyway, any thoughts on this?
