Silesian Uprisings - 3 Minute History

The video explores the complex history of Upper Silesia during and after World War I. Despite efforts to Germanize the region, it maintained a significant Polish population. Post-WWI, the Allies struggled to decide the region's fate, leading to a plebiscite. Tensions rose as both German and Polish factions vied for control, resulting in multiple uprisings. The League of Nations eventually intervened, dividing the region between Germany and Poland, but tensions persisted until World War II.
