Wrocław belonged to Germany until World War II, and was named Breslau. After the war, Stalin pushed the border of the Soviet Union westwards, incorporating a part of Poland in what is now Belarus. In order to diminish discontent in Poland, he pushed the Polish-German border westwards. Cities like Breslau and Stettin became Polish territory with their Polish names: Wrocław and Szczecin.
