| | Prussia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Being predominantly a northern and eastern German state, Prussia had a large Protestant majority, although there were substantial Roman Catholic populations in the Rhineland, while a number of districts in Posen, Silesia, West Prussia, and the Warmia and Masuria regions of East Prussia had populations of predominantly Catholic Poles. |
 | | Despite its overwhelmingly German character, Prussia's annexations of Polish territory in the late 18th century brought with them a large Polish population that resisted German occupation, and in several areas was the majority of the population, as for example in the Provinz Posen (62% Polish, 38% German). |
 | | In 1934 the Nazi regime abolished the autonomy of all the German states. |
