It is March 1921, one of the most important weeks in Polish history. The constitution of an independent country is being adopted in Warsaw, peace negotiations with the Bolsheviks are underway in Riga, and the eastern border of Poland is being drawn up. A plebiscite is being held in Upper Silesia to decide on the future statehood of the region. At the earlier request of Roman Dmowski, people who were born here and then left are to be admitted to it. Meanwhile, the Germans are more mobile. Of the over 190,000 people who came specially for the plebiscite, only 10,000 vote for Poland. The turnout is high, and the victory of the previous hosts of the region is clear. The division of Upper Silesia, if it happens, will be disadvantageous for Poland. Warsaw, which has just ended one war in the east, does not deserve to start another one. Officially, it will not interfere with the decisions of the Allied Commission. But money, an elite of Polish officers, and weapons are being directed to the south. An armed confrontation is only a matter of time. Wojciech Korfanty, a seasoned politician from the Reich, puts on a show by resigning from the position of plebiscite commissioner. In this way, he protects the authorities of the Republic. In May, an uprising breaks out, which is today called the never-declared war between Poland and the German Reich. One of the historians who consistently call the events of the spring of 1921 this way is the outstanding researcher of the history of Silesia, Professor Ryszard Kaczmarek. Let us ask what arguments speak for the fact that it was a war after all, and not an ordinary uprising.
