In March 1901, the German administration ordered the religion classes to switch to German. Strike In April, a number of students (one source gives the number at 118) in the Catholic People's School in Września (''Katolicka Szkoła Ludowa we Wrześni''), attended by about 650 pupils, refused to accept new German textbooks and to participate in the class activities.

Germany–Poland Relations
The bilateral relations between Germany and Poland have been marked by an extensive and complicated history. From the 10th century onward, the Piast-ruled History of Poland during the Piast dynasty, Kingdom of Poland established under Duke Mieszko I of Poland, Mieszko I had close and chequered relations with the Holy Roman Empire.

Prussian Culture
Prussia, , Old Prussian: ''Prūsa'' or ''Prūsija'' was a German state on the southeast coast of the Baltic Sea. It formed the German Empire under Prussian rule when it united the German states in 1871. It was ''de facto'' dissolved by an emergency decree transferring powers of the Prussian government to German Chancellor Franz von Papen in 1932 and ''de jure'' by an Allied decree in 1947. For centuries, the House of Hohenzollern ruled Prussia, expanding its size with the Prussian Army. Prussia, with its capital at Königsberg and then, when it became the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701, Berlin, decisively shaped the history of Germany. In 1871, Prussian Minister-President Otto von Bismarck united most German principalities into the German Empire under his leadership, although this was considered to be a "Lesser Germany" because Austria and Switzerland were not included. In November 1918, the monarchies were abolished and the nobility lost its political power during the Germ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
