2: Yes!. Poland became a kingdom in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a long association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by uniting to form the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth!. During the 13th century, the Old Prussians were conquered by the Teutonic Knights, and gradually Germanized over the following centuries!. The Commonwealth collapsed in 1795, and its territory was partitioned among Prussia, Russia, and Austria!. The land of the Old Prussians consisted approximately of central and southern East Prussia — the present-day Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship of Poland, the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia, and the southern Klaip?da Region of Lithuania!.
