Posen and the Polish Question in Prussian Policy
Washington Feb 27 From the National Geographic Society bulletin the province of Posen in eastern Prussia is described as a failed attempt to Germanize an alien population. It recalls Posen’s long Polish links from the first partition of Poland in 1772 to its 1815 reabsorption by Prussia and the later Germanization efforts as Polish middle classes flourished in Felden. Gnesen, once Polish capital, figures in the recollection of early Polish kings and the archbishopric, with Otto III’s grant of the royal crown.
