	Province of Posen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Province of Posen (German: Provinz Posen, Polish: Prowincja Poznańska) was a province of Prussia from 1848-1918 and as such part of the German Empire from 1871 to 1918.
		Shortly after the outbreak of the November Uprising, Prussia revoked the autonomy of the province, in violation of the Vienna Peace Congress arrangements, and in 1846 the province was renamed the Province of Posen and brought to the same standing as other provinces such as West Prussia and Silesia.
