Editing Masurians (section)

==History==
In the [[Middle Ages]], the inhabitants of the [[Duchy of Masovia]] were called ''Mazur(z)y'' in Polish. Between the 14th and 17th centuries,<ref>Jerzy Jan Lerski, Piotr Wróbel, Richard J. Kozicki, ''Historical dictionary of Poland, 966–1945'', Greenwood Publishing Group, 1996, p. 346, {{ISBN|0-313-26007-9}} [https://books.google.com/books?id=FPxhOu_n1VYC&dq=Mazurs++Masovia&pg=PA345 Google Books]
</ref> Polish settlers from northern Masovia moved to the southern territories of the [[Monastic State of the Teutonic Knights]] (these lands had previously belonged to the [[Baltic people|Baltic]] [[Old Prussians]], whom the [[Teutonic Knights]] had conquered in the 13th and 14th centuries). The northern part of this state was soon settled by settlers from Germany and thus became Germanised. On the other hand, Protestants coming from the [[Duchy of Masovia]], which was independent until 1526, partially Polonised a southern part of the [[Duchy of Prussia]], later [[Kingdom of Prussia]]. Only in Allenstein, now [[Olsztyn]], Catholics remained, because it belonged to the [[Prince-Bishop]]ric of Ermland or [[Warmia]].

Because of the influx of Masovians into the [[Masurian Lake District|southern lakeland]], the area started to be known as "[[Masuria]]" from the 18th century. During the [[Protestant Reformation]], the Masurians, like most inhabitants of Ducal Prussia, became [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] [[Protestantism|Protestant]], while the neighboring Masovians remained [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]]. In 1525, the [[Duchy of Prussia]], a Polish fief until 1657, was founded from the secularized order's territory and became the first ever officially Protestant state. The small minority of Protestant Masovians in southern Catholic Masovia inside Poland emigrated later to Prussian Masuria. Masuria became part of the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] at the Kingdom's founding in 1701, and part of the Prussian-led [[German Empire]] at the Empire's founding in 1871.

Masurians referred to themselves in the 19th century as "Polish Prussians" or as "Staroprusaki" (Old Prussians).<ref name=Wang>{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=Y0b6HKgl9ewC&q=Germanization+Masuria

Masurians showed considerable support for the Polish uprising in 1831, and maintained many contacts with Russian-held areas of Poland beyond the border of Prussia, the areas being connected by common culture and language; before the uprising people visited each other's country fairs and much trade took place, with smuggling also widespread.<ref name=Wang/> Some early writers about Masurians – like [[Max Toeppen]] – postulated them as mediators between German and Slav cultures.<ref name= Wang/>

During the 1840s, the folklorist [[Gustaw Gizewiusz]] (Gustav Gisevius) collected Masurian folk songs which were later included in [[Oskar Kolberg]]'s compilation ''Dzieła Wszystkie''.<ref>[http://www.oskarkolberg.pl/tom40.html Kolberg, Oskar.

===Masurians in the nineteenth century===

According to Andrzej Chwalba or Henryk Samsonowicz, Polish national activists and Masurians already were engaged in cooperation in 1848 when Poles from Pomerania supported Masurian attempts to elect their representative Gustaw Gizewiusz who defended the use of Polish language and traditions.<ref>Historia Polski: 1795–1918 – Page 311
Andrzej Chwalba – 2005 Wiosną 1848 r. polscy działacze narodowi z Pomorza nawiązali kontakty z Mazurami.</ref><ref>Polska, losy państwa i narodu Henryk Samsonowicz Iskry, 1992, page 349
</ref> For Piotr Wandycz the events of 1848 led to Polish national awakening in Masuria.<ref>The Lands of Partitioned Poland, 1795–1918 – Strona 149 Piotr Stefan Wandycz – 1974 
In some cases these new developments operated to the advantage of the Poles. The year 1848 marked a Polish awakening in Silesia (Austrian and Prussian) and in the Masurian area,</ref> 
By contrast, Andreas Kossert writes that Polish interest in Masuria was inspired by a single poem published in 1872, "O Mazurach" by [[Wojciech Kętrzyński]] and that the unsuccessful attempts to create a Polish national spirit in Masuria were financed by Polish Nationalists from Posen (Poznan), Lemberg (Lviv) and Warsaw.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Masuren – Ostpreussens vergessener Süden|first1=Andreas|last1=Kossert|publisher=Pantheon|year=2006|isbn=3-570-55006-0|page=205|language=de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title="Grenzlandpolitik" und Ostforschung an der Peripherie des Reiches|first1=Andreas|last1=Kossert|publisher=Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte|date=February 2003|page=122|language=de}}</ref>

Beginning in the 1870s, [[German Empire|Imperial German]] officials restricted the usage of languages other than German in Prussia's eastern provinces.<ref>Clark, p. 580.</ref> The German authorities undertook several measures to Germanise the Masurians or to separate them culturally from neighboring Poles by creating a separate identity.<ref>McCook, B. (2002) "Becoming German: Lessons from the Past for the Present", in ''Leitkultur and Nationalstolz-Tabu – German Phenomena?'' Bonn, April 2002, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation pp. 33–42.
</ref> After 1871 Masurians who expressed sympathy for Poland were deemed "national traitors" by German nationalists (this increased especially after 1918).<ref name=Wang/> According to Wojciech Wrzesinki, Masurians did not receive any assistance or help from Polish movements at the time.<ref>Z księgi pieśni człowieka niemczonego Wojciech Kętrzyński Pojezierze, 1968, page 111 -</ref> According to Stefan Berger, after 1871 the Masurians in the German Empire were seen in a view that while acknowledging their "objective" Polishness (in terms of culture and language) they felt "subjectively" German and thus should be tightly integrated into the German nation-state; to Berger this argument went directly against the German nationalist demands in Alsace where Alsacians were declared German despite their "subjective" choice. Berger concludes that such the arguments of German nationalists were simply aimed at gathering as much territory as possible into the German Reich.<ref name=Wang/>

===Masurians in the twentieth century===
[[File:East Prussia Language Map 1905.png|thumb|upright=1.4|Mother Tongues of East Prussia, according to the 1905 Census; Masurians are indicated in shades of tan, in southern East Prussia]]
Before World War I many Masurians emigrated to the [[Ruhr Area]], especially to [[Gelsenkirchen]]. Here, Masurians were not distinguished apart from the Poles and both groups were seen as inferior to Germans, culturally or even racially.<ref>Lucassen, Leo ''The Immigrant Threat: The Integration of Old and New Migrants in Western Europe since 1850'' (Studies of World Migrations) p. 71.</ref> Despite those official efforts, German scholars usually considered Masurians as a group of Poles. In all German geographical atlases published at the beginning of the 20th century, the southern part of East Prussia was marked as an ethnically Polish area, with the number of Poles estimated at 300,000.<ref name="Google Books">Piotr Eberhardt, Jan Owsinski, ''Ethnic groups and population changes in 20th-century Central-Eastern Europe: history, data, analysis'', M.E. Sharpe, 2003, p. 166, {{ISBN|0-7656-0665-8}} [https://books.google.com/books?id=jLfX1q3kJzgC&dq=Masurians&pg=RA1-PA166 Google Books]
</ref>

There was resistance among the Masurians towards Germanization efforts, the so-called Gromadki movement was formed which supported use of Polish language and came into conflict with German authorities; while most of its members viewed themselves as loyal to the Prussian state, some of them joined the Pro-Polish faction of Masurians.<ref name=Wang377>{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=Y0b6HKgl9ewC&q=Germanization+Masuria|title=The many faces of Clio: cross-cultural approaches to historiography

Most of Masuria's small Polish-speaking intelligentsia remained decisively pro-Prussian, often adhering to an older, multi-ethnic model of Prussian identity, centred on loyalty to their king, not so much on the German language.<ref>Kossert (2001), p. 44.</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|title = "Grenzlandpolitik" und Ostforschung an der Peripherie des Reiches|last = Kossert|first = Andreas|date = 2002|journal = Vierteljahreshefte für Zeitgeschichte|page =122}}</ref><ref>Blanke, pp. 45–47.</ref> This ethnically, but not nationally Polish identity was a repeated source of consternation for Polish national activists,<ref>Blanke, pp. 58–59.</ref> and decidedly pro-Polish political parties and press never gained widespread influence among the general populace.<ref>Kossert (2001), pp. 73–80.</ref> Richard Blanke summarised this long-standing attachment, going back to the late Middle Ages, as "Masurians became Prussian, in other words, before the Bretons (not to mention the Alsatians) became French."<ref>Blanke, p. 15.</ref>

The Masurians evinced strong support for Germany during [[World War I]].<ref>Clark, p. 608.</ref> In 1920, the [[League of Nations]] supervised the [[East Prussian plebiscite]] – with British, French and Italian troops stationed in Masuria – to determine the new border between the [[Second Polish Republic]] and German [[East Prussia]]. The plebiscite was organized by the local German authorities.<ref>''Ethnic Groups and Population Changes in Twentieth-century Central-Eastern Europe: History, Data, and Analysis''; Piotr Eberhardt, M.E. Sharpe, 2003, p. 166.

The post-war [[Potsdam Conference]] placed Masuria – and the rest of southern [[East Prussia]] – under Polish administration. Many Masurians who were classified as Germans were [[expulsion of Germans after World War II|expelled]] with military force. After 1956, many who had remained in Poland emigrated to [[West Germany]].

|+Proportion of the Polish-speaking population in the Masurian districts of East Prussia.{{efn|According to Prussian censuses and Polish estimates. The first columns of each year refer to the results of the Prussian censuses. These are the total percentages for all people who were recorded as having "Masurian" or "Polish" as their mother tongue, sometimes bilingually with "German".<ref>Blanke, pp. 83 & 237.</ref>

The second columns of each year refer to two different Polish estimates. Those for 1861–1910 have been made by Belzyt in 1996 on the basis of the significantly higher number of Polish-speaking schoolchildren ({{Cite journal|title = Zur Frage des nationalen Bewusstseins der Masuren im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert|last = Belzyt|first = Leszek|date = 1996|journal = Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung}}), although Blanke reduces their validity by saying: "But one cannot simply extrapolate from the school enrollment figures, for Polish-Masurian families typically had more children than the German average. Moreover, a significant feature of Masurian life was that many people 'became' German only as adults, for which reason one would expect to find a lower percentage of Polish-speaking adults than schoolchildren. In consideration of these and other factors, Belzyt has basically split the difference between the two sets of figures in order to arrive at the above figures in parentheses." (Blanke, p. 84.)
The estimates for 1925 have been cited by Kossert,<ref>Kossert (2001), p. 174.</ref> (who claims to have taken them from Pohorecki<ref>{{Cite journal|title = Mazurzy w Prusach Wschodnich|last = Pohorecki|first = Władysław|date = 1932|journal = Sprawy Narodowościowe}}</ref>).
