@@elkapusto2414 to nic. Już w 1919 bolszewicy byli na tyle silni i zorganizowani , że przeprowadzali ofensywę na inne państwo zamiast zajmować się walką z pozostałymi niedobitkami białych. To jest trochę brzydkie przedstawienie "że Polacy razem z białymi próbowali obalić komunizm" bo to sugeruje, że to Polacy zaatakowali w 1919 sprzymierzając się z wewnętrznymi wrogami Rosji. A było na odwrót. Prawda jest taka, że Polacy Rosjan czy to białych czy czerwonych mieli daleko w nosie. A może gdybyśmy więcej wysiłku wtedy włożyli w destabilizację ZSRR to nie byłoby tego co było 19 lat później.

I think it's sad that the story directly following ww1 is rarely discussed, it's just "Germany capitulated and now ww1 is over" But the fighting continued and treaties took months to negociate, which we often forget

Yeah it was really only the Western Front that saw peace, basically everywhere else in Europe erupted into civil war and chaos.

[@Igor_054]

1918 is just a convenient date for history books to avoid the complexities that would blow apart the minds of the 14 year olds in school. WWI effectively went up to at least 1923, if we consider that the fight in places like Germany, Hungary and Turkey are just continuations of the overall war.

[@reubenmatthews5615]

@@Igor_054 Eh, I wouldn't say they were part of World War I, but rather conflicts caused by it. It'd be like including the Chinese Civil War and Korean War in World War II.

[@Igor_054]

@@reubenmatthews5615 Korean War and Chinese Civil War had former WWII allies fighting each other, so they're not really continuations of the same war. Hungary vs Romania, as well as Turkey vs Greece, UK, France and Italy, however, were the continuations of the same war. And if you consider the peace documents that ended WWI, they were all signed by 1919 or later, not 1918. Trianon, for instance, was signed on 1920, because the war in Hungary was simply not over before that. This didn't happen in WWII, all peace agreements were over by 1945. An example of war that I consider as a fall out of WWI, instead of a continuation, is the Polish-Soviet war.

[@TheMightyP00tis]

The armistices were signed in 1918, that's why. Officially the war went on because an armistice is just a cessation of hostilities but 11 November 1918 is a nice memorable date to say "this is when the fighting officially ended."

And this is only May and beginning of June. Third truce was the last. By 5 July, all insurgent troops were withdrawn.

[@Dariusz_1.618]

@PowerfulCranberry 1 Polish insurgents were not majority unlike in Freikorps. Most were local people oppressed economically, legally for the last 50 years if not more by Prussia. As you have already noticed, Polish support was meager and conflict did not suit Polish government at the time of the uprising. Most of Freikorps were recruted through whole Germany from ex Imperial soldiers, hundreds of kilometers from Silesia in straight line. 2 The results of the plebiscite are known - most people in different counties did not vote to be in German State. Exceptions were some pockets and disagreement was to draw a line in which the pockets were on the German side, but most of the areas remained in Germany against their will like Strzelce Opolskie / Groß Strehlitz and Toszek-Gliwice / Tost-Gleiwitz which anyway were taken by Germany. Because of this, an uprising broke out. it didn't explode for fun - it was directed against oppressive German rule.

[@morty844]

​@@Dariusz_1.618 The majority voted to stay as a part of Germany at that time. The third uprising was supported by polish gov and officers were send to silesia to lead the locals. French entente troop didn't do much to act as a referre back then. If Germany would have been a federal state with a more inclusive policy regarding minorities, situation would have been very different. Whatever the outcomes, still interesting to see how Silesia is influenced by the German and as well Czech culture as of Today.

[@Dariusz_1.618]

@@morty844 1. No majority. Look on counties map. Most of them voted for not being in Germany. More, many Germans came from the west to vote for Germany. Sounds fimiliar like Russians brought their compatriots from the interior to vote for the admission of Ukrainian Oblasts to Russia. 2. Wasn't supported by Polish state/government. Polish support was meager and conflict did not suit Polish government at the time of the uprising. They didn't act on orders from the command, they were volunteers. Polish insurgents were not majority unlike in Freikorps. In short it was Silesian workers/farmers vs Freikorps. 3. Yes, but over 140 years before 1945 they weren't. 4. After World War II Silesia become monocultural such as Greater Poland or Mazovia. Same in the Czechoslovakia - the Sudeten Germans were expelled. For over 7 years, Germany has been a threat to states and especially the inhabitants of the German eastern territories mostly supported the NSDAP, so there was no room for a peaceful existence for such aggressive masses.

The troops coming back from Russia to Germany through Poland were mostly disarmed and sent home (the same goes for German garrisons that already stationed in Poland pre-independence proclamation), also during the Posen uprising there were some German forces disarmed on the spot when they were arriving by a train to already taken over stations without a fight (because 4 years of exhausting war, most of them just wanted to go home probably).

[@quaker2636]

@@Denis-Maldonado the Volga Germans were still around, they even had their own autonomous soviet republic until 1941

[@CatWithAHat2HD]

The German troops in Poland had a tense and bizzare relationship with the forming gov. there. Autonomous Poland was set up by the Kaiserreich, as a client kingdom without a king (there was a regency council), in hopes of recruiting Poles for the war effort against the Tsardom. That pretty much failed entirely, but there was a German-created and approved state that existed and, as the Entente forced Germany to surrender, declared independence and nominated an officer, formerly working for the Austrians to create Polish regiments for the anti-Russian war effort, but who later betrayed the Austrians and was imprisonned, as temporary chief of state. The situation of the German troops in the East was eminently bizzare. They were the dominant military force in the region - they had won the war in the East - yet for political reasons they were ordered to disarm and retreat. Many rank and file soldiers must have welcomed that, after years of warfare, but nothing *really* forced them to just let the Poles have a country at that point. That is nothing besides orders from Berlin to do so. After all these men had spilt their blood to conquer these lands, and were now giving them all away - it's not hard to imagine some sort of mutiny in the army, intent on "restoring order" in the Grand Duchy of Posen at least. What probably helped a lot, was the relative institutionnal proximity of the Polish authorities to the central powers. Berlin knew it was in a difficult position, and essentially had to let the Poles do their thing, least the Americans would march all the way to Berlin, and the military personnel, on the ground in Poland, knew the Poles that were disarming them. And though they certainly didn't see them as allies, they didn't see them as foes either - it wasn't even Entente soldiers disarming them - it was ppl who technically didn't participate, at least as a polity, in the war at all.
