After reading an article on the Berlin Wall I had an idea so I am looking for some answers.
By the time of the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 a fifth of its population had emirgrated. How likely is that the Soviets allow the emigration to continue and merely replace population loss my bringing in people from elsewhere beyond the Iron Curtain, especially Poland. Would it be possible to have East Germany in 1990 with Polish plurality and not wishing to join with West Germany but rather end in negotiations with Poland around 2000 for uniting with them?
Cheers
