** Prussia unified with Germany in 1871 and its provinces became part of the German Empire. After Germany lost WWII in 1945, the Allies took most of the Province of Silesia from the Germans and gave it to Poland. The Poles moved in and expelled the majority of the remaining ethnic German population while changing many of the city, town, and villages from German names to Polish. The village of Sacken became "Lubienia", and Oppeln is called "Opole". They are located in what is now southwest Poland.
