General Governorate of the Vistula

The General Governorate of the Vistula
== History ==
=== First Polish Uprising ===
=== Aftermath of the First Uprising ===
In the aftermath of the failed First Polish Uprising, German policies towards the Governorate changed dramatically. With the former, incompetent governorship of Hans Frank having come to an end with his assassination, and the desire to enact brutal policies, Hitler appointed Reinhard Heydrich as the new Governor. Heydrich, who's policies in Bohemia and Moravia had led to its eventual Germanisation and annexation into the Reich proper, had previously had a hand in the harsh anti-Polish policies during Operation Tannenberg.
=== Second Polish Uprising ===
When the West Russian War started to turn against the Germanic forces, the few million remaining Polish slaves in the Governorate rebelled against their overlords. However since the Polish Underground State had been so soundly defeated after the First Uprising, the Second Rebellion was a disorganised mess. The uprising was easily put down by Reinhard Heydrich's forces, despite the difficulties during the war in the east.
This rebellion was the straw that broke the camel's back, and it was agreed within Germany that the nation of Poland would finally have to be scattered to the wind. The German colonisation of the Governorate had been going at a decent pace, especially after Heydrich had been appointed as Governor-General in 1949 - though despite this the German numbers were still relatively low in the Governorate. 
=== Annexation into Greater Germanic Reich ===
Following the end of the Second Uprising, and with the majority of non-Germanic peoples being deported eastwards to the Reichskommissariat Moskowien, the German authorities began to make moves to annex the territory directly into the Reich, with Martin Bormann leading the integration efforts alongside Reinhard Heydrich.
By 1956, the year after the West Russian War came to an end, the Governorate was officially absorbed into Germany-proper and split into two seperate Reichsgau's. Vandalland and Galicia.
