echo throughout history... ... history ... ... history ...

It would be important to mention that the plebiscites in East Prussia took place during the height of Polish - Soviet war. That's why many Poles chose the German side, they believed that Poland was lost.

I must say my mind is blown by how much history/conflicts there is between World War 1 and World War 2. When The Great War ended on the channel I thought to myself, "Darn, no what am I going to watch?" Then I started watching some of the episodes, mostly of conflicts/uprisings. Now, I'm hooked, I can't wait to watch the next episode. You all have done a fantastic job. I've never been so engrossed in history before, especially history I never thought I would be interested in. Keep up the amazing work, can't wait for the next video.

Define "war is over" while the peace treaty (or better the true meaning of all its paragraphs) is still unclear and discussed, while foreign armies waltz through Germany, and conflicts all over the border regions inflame, and in case of France supported by one of the Entente powers. You comment implies a that "all was well" and peaceful once the bloody war had ended. When nothing was well, at least not for the Germans, which felt betrayed by Wilson, mishandled at Versailles, and with their remaining borders still under attack. I don't want to defend anything which happend during this time, but I would love to remind you that the situation wasn't just as simple as you implied it with your comment.

However, I do remember that a week earlier at their own conference in Brussels the allies agreed that Serbia would get 5.5%, while Italy, Japan and Portugal would each get 4%. I'd guess that the remaining 8% at Spa would be shared between Serbia, Japan and Portugal, accounting for the increased sum Italy got away with.

I doubt the absence of Soviet-Polish war would change anything, as far as East Prussian plebiscite goes. Maybe, if propaganda was used more widely, with enough support it may have been somewhat different, but as the Poles didn't hide that they wanted to "Re-Catholicize" Mazurians (and they did, look up forcing Mazurian kids to go to Catholic schools in Działdowo/Soldau), and local Mazurians were just too ingrained in the Prussian society. Most Mazurians were mostly rural peasants, who often couldn't read and write, so the propaganda didn't work there. In the end, it was mostly economics, Prussia was too connected to Germany, economically. There was no point in joining Poland, it was poorer, East Prussia itself had denser rail network than whole country of Poland. Maybe, just maybe, with better, pro-Polish campaign, with the promissess of accepting the Protestant religion, the Mazurian votes could be won. But no one was keen on joining Poland when the Soviet army was so close to Prussian border.

Unfortunately, you seem to follow the path of describing some key events w/o any context. The reason why so many Poles (or Polish-speaking Masurians) voted for Prussia (rather than Germany, as this was how the plebiscite was really phrased) in summer 1920 is painfully simple - the plebiscite took place during the Red Army invasion of Poland. Bolsheviks reached East Prussia border literally in the days of the plebiscite, with all observers (and of course German propaganda) claiming fall of Poland within days. No wonder that people voted for the safety of their families.

BTW this identity nowadays still lives on to some extent (e.g. people when they say they go to the east from the region, like Cracow or Warsaw, they say they're headed "to Poland" like they were not already in this country). Our dialect/language has been largely wiped out during communist era, but luckily now it is somewhat rising again.

Three uprisings in the Upper Silesia: before the plebiscit Germans were bringing by trains thousands of Germans who did not live there anymore. They had cheated in many other ways and used undercover militias. But actually majority of Polish speaking Silesians were Catholics and patriots who wanted to be included in the reborn Polish State (1918). Mentally they were connected to their Polishness and many had enough of hard German fist above them. Therefore last, the THIRD Silesian Uprising successed and the Upper Silesia with its capital - Katowice had became the part of the Second Poland's Republic. Without the will of the Silesian majority it would not be possible. Poland government did not help them much because right from the beginning after gaining independence in 1918 the country had been entangled in wars in the East to establish its Easten frontiers. In 1920 had started Polish-Soviet defensive war which Poland fought practically without allies, though France had sent some military advisors.

As always a very informative and objective video on sich a controversial topic! I can confirm that Upper Silesians neither felt German nor Polish and this remains so until today. There are even autonomy movements ongoing and people declaring Silesian nationality. Some things I want to add is that as in Eastern Prussia, in Uppers Silesia the people spoke a dialect also called "Wasserpolnisch" or "ślonsko godka", which is a mix of Polish and German. But their speakers were being identified as Polish speaking instead. That's also maybe why 60% voted for Germany although 60% were being assumed as Polish speaking. Be side not all of them were Polish. I know this because my family is from Upper Silesia and my ancestors' history interests me a lot obviously.
