 | | The Polish portion of Silesia, which forms the bulk of the region, is now divided into the voivodships (provinces) of Lubusz Voivodship, Lower Silesian Voivodship, Greater Poland Voivodship, Lesser Poland Voivodship, Opole Voivodship, and Silesian Voivodship (see: http://www.tr62.de/maps/Silesia-2000.html). |
 | | Ruling Silesian lords decided to rebuild their cities according to latest administrative developments, founding or relocating some 160 cities and 1500 towns with codified German law in place of settlements governed by older, customary Polish laws. |
 | | After the referendum, there were three Silesian Insurrections, and as a result of them the League of Nations decided that the province should be split and areas that voted for Poland should become an autonomous area within Poland, organised as the Silesian Voivodship (Wojewodztwo and#346;land#261;skie). |
