At the death of the first Piast ruler, Mieszko I (992), the borders of Poland were roughly the same as today.
he was chosen as strongest leader,but idea came from silesian nobility..before that silesia was kinda bohemian province.by far most rich and socially organized than rest of Poland.
It actually started quite a time before the Mongol invasion of 1241.
well..am talking about large scale immigration of germans into silesia..it was introduced german law,exempting german settles from taxes.thus attracting large scale german settlements.reason was depopulation of silesia after mongol invasion.
