	Pomerania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pomerania (Polish: Pomorze, German: Pommern and Pommerellen, Kashubian: Pòmòrze and Pòmòrskô, Latin: Pomerania, Pomorania) is a geographical region today divided between northern Poland and Germany on the south coasts of the Baltic Sea between and on both sides of the Vistula and Oder (Odra) rivers, reaching the Recknitz river in the west.
		Pomerania was conquered by the Polish duke Mieszko I in the second half of the 10th century.
		It was therefore ironic that Pomerania should have been given to Poland to compensate her for losses of territory in the East to the Soviet Union in 1945, and the German speaking population fled or was expelled (often by violence).
