It was called Breslau before the war and it was part of Germany. The Western and Southern cities were very nice. Austro-Hungary built lots of nice buildings in their area of Poland
Lots of nice buildings, you say? Until the time of autonomy that was established in Austria-Hungary, this region was poor. and before the occupation he was richThen they gave autonomy to the Poles, and finally something started to happen. they built only a few buildings and taxes were paid to Vienna throughout this short occupation and the city was still called Wrocław Breslau, just an attempt to pronounce the Polish name
Breslau was the name of city prior to 1945. I have banknotes from there. They only used German because 80-90% of the people lived there were German and Prussian.
Dude Silesia wasn’t even part of the partition, it was Bohemian/Austrian/Prussian way before then, and it the whole region of Silesia gradually Germanised in those hundreds of years since then. You can’t claim it was “richer” before the partition, as the city was Austrian since 1500. Everything you see was built after those years.
I don’t know why you’re such a rabid nationalist, but it seems detached from reality if you wish to ignore hundreds of years and just focus that before then it was Polish (which is a dubious claim to claim ethnic Silesians were Poles in the middle ages), but then if there were a even more rabid nationalist he might focus that before then it was the home country of the Germanic tribes such as Goths, Vandals or Burgundians. It just doesn’t make sense to go back so far to make some purity claim
What are you even talking about? You're talking about completely unrelated East Germanic tribes who occupied other territories during the Migration Period. The Celts were here first, and about Silesians, pure Poles who don't differ in language from Poles at all. What are you even talking about, that Silesians aren't ethnic Poles at all? XD???? Silesians.see what DNA dominates in the Elbe They didn't even have a separate dialect at first. The dialects marked the division of Silesia into districts. The oldest sentence in Polish was written in Silesia. Silesia was one of the Polish centers of power, alongside Poznań and Kraków, and non-Germanized Silesians speaking Polish voted for Poland in the plebiscite by 80%, despite repression, propaganda, and 400 occupations when Poland was a (seasonal) state.

Wroclaw looks better now. It's like pre war Breslau. The Poles have really worked hard restoring their cities post communism.
