Thanks John  Poland annexed  Poland had neither the will nor the power to annex anything The discussed lands were given to Poland supposedly to compensate for the eastern provinces annexed in  and again in  by Soviet Union Poland was the country that suffered the most as the result of WW II both from Nazi Germany and Soviet Union therefore any comment hinting that Poland or Poles might be even partially responsible for any consequences of the War is absolutely unacceptable   A mention of the Duchy of Swidnica and its ruler  Bolkos loyalty to Poland would be nice   More about the diversity in the region across the ages   Autonomy of the Polish language speaking people during the Bohemian and Austrian rule as opposed to the forced germanization after prussian takeover through the ban of Polish or Silesian language and oppression of the catholic faith  Kulturkampf is worth mentioning    Discrimination of the native Silesians by the Polish government taking place both right after the war and now is a must   What are the specific issues that Im supposed to vote on
