Why does it show West Prussia and Lithuania as being Poland in 1500 when these were separate countries with their own governments and inhabited by their own peoples even during the time of the Polish Commonwealth when they where all under the subject of the Polish King but could retain their cultures, local rule and languages?

West Prussia only became Poland proper after the first world war following the treaty of Versailles.
