	Silesia - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The decisive factor in the separation of Silesia from Poland was furnished by a partition of the Polish crown's territories in 1138.

		Silesia is divided by a projecting limb of Moravia into two small parts of territory, of which the western part is flanked by the Sudetic mountains, namely the Altvater Gebirge; while the eastern part is flanked by the Carpathians, namely the Jablunka Gebirge with their highest peak the Lissa Hora (4346 ft.).
