    Losing polish territories was more important in that process than the colonies. They were basically not held long enough and were only considered “prestige”.

      Yes, Greater Poland was economically significant and fairly densely populated, and Upper Silesia was one of the two most important industrial regions in Germany.

        I was thinking more of the junker estates and west prussia, but yeah the loss of upper silesia caused an economic crisis in eastern Germany which is why the nazis picked up the votes there.
