| | Silesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Despite the widespread nature of the conflagration, Silesia remained largely Catholic, excluding Cieszyn Silesia where continously Lutheranism became dominant. | | | Germans settled mostly in cities, as did Jews and some Czechs. | | | When the Silingi moved from the area during the Migration Period, they left remnants of their society behind. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Breslau |
| | After the suppression of the Jesuits the king established a Catholic-Schools Institute which included the Jesuits living in Silesia, and in which the candidates for the secular priesthood were to receive their training. | | | His scheme was a national Silesian university, endowed with all the academic privileges, which should be open to students irrespective of their religious beliefs. | | | About a century later, under the quickening impulse of Humanism, the project was again taken up by the city of Breslau in conjuction with the bishop, Johann Roth, and his coadjutor, Johann Turzo, and a "generale literarum gymnasium" to contain all four faculties was planned. |

| | After World War II the pre-1938 boundaries were restored, but all formerly Prussian Silesia E of the Lusatian Neisse was placed under Polish administration (a small section of Lower Silesia W of the Neisse was incorporated with the East German state of Saxony). | | | The resulting tensions assumed an ethnic character, since the upper and middle classes were predominantly German, while a large percentage of the workers were Polish. | | | His claim and his offer to assist Maria Theresa in the impending War of the Austrian Succession were rejected by the queen while Prussian troops were already invading Silesia. |

| | Because the negotiations between Czech and Polish governments have no positive result and the Polish government was not in a position to defeat the communist movement in Silesia, which had negative impact on Czechoslovak economy, the Czechoslovak government decided to occupy the territory. | | | Because at that time the tention in Czechoslovak-Hungarian relations was rising and in March the Communist had taken over the government in Hungary and set up Hungarian Soviet Republic, the Czechoslovak government immediately moved the units from Silesia to Slovakia to defend its territory. | | | The sender wrote in the message, that they had moved from Silesia to Slovakia and that he posts together with the card a letter he had written just before his departure from Tešín. |

| | Silesia - named for two isolated peaks used as a worshipping ground by the Celts - has exchanged hands over the centuries: initially part of the first Polish nation, it then slowly merged with Bohemia to its south (as Sleszko), then became part of Austria and eventually part of Prussia to its west (as Schlesien). | | | After passing back into Polish hands at the end of WWII to compensate for losses to the east, Silesia now offers a typical Polish mix of the industrial Katowice contrasted with the cosmopolitan Wroclaw. | | | As in northern Poland, the German influence and interest in the region is apparent today: Karkonosze was and is becoming again a popular holiday spot, and the former home of the Nobel laureate Gerhart Hauptmann is in Silesia (Jagniatkow). |
