      Historical Background

      The Province of West Prussia (German: Provinz Westpreu?en) was a province of Prussia from 1773 to 1829 and 1878 to 1922.
      West Prussia was established as a province of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1773, formed from Royal Prussia of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

      West Prussia was dissolved in 1829 and merged with East Prussia to form the Province of Prussia, but was re-established in 1878 when the merger was reversed and became part of the German Empire.

      From 1918, West Prussia was a province of the Free State of Prussia within Weimar Germany, already losing most of its territory to the Second Polish Republic.

      West Prussia was dissolved in 1922, and its remaining western territory was merged with Posen to form Posen-West Prussia.

      After WWII, all the areas of West Prussia were restored to Poland.
