The Silesian Uprisings (German: Aufstände in Oberschlesien; Polish: Powstania śląskie) were a series of three armed uprisings of the Poles and Polish Silesians of Upper Silesia, from 1919 to 1921, against German rule; the resistance hoped to break away from Germany in order to join the Second Polish Republic, which had been established in the wake of World War I. In the latter-day history of Poland after World War II, the insurrections were celebrated as centrepieces of national pride. Between 1919 and 1921 three uprisings took place in Upper Silesia. The conflict between Polish and German inhabitants finished only after the third and largest one. It resulted in incorporating a part of Upper Silesia to Poland in 1921.
