Silesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3375 words)
The small portion in the Czech Republic known as Czech Silesia is joined with the northern part of Moravia and forms the Moravian-Silesian Region of that country, while the remainder forms a small part of the Olomouc Region.
In the Middle Ages, Silesia was a Piast province, which became a possession of the Bohemian crown under the Holy Roman Empire and passed with that crown to the Austrian Habsburgs in 1526.
According to Tacitus, in the 1st century Silesia was inhabited by a multi-ethnic league dominated by the Lugii/Lygii.
Czech Silesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (486 words)
Czech Silesia, one of the three Czech lands, is the Czech part of Silesia.
Modern-day Czech Silesia is mainly that small part of Silesia that remained within Austria at the end of the First Silesian War (see War of the Austrian Succession) in 1742, when the rest of Silesia was ceded to Prussia.
It was organised as the Duchy of Upper and Lower Silesia with its capital at Opava (in German Troppau).
