- Overnight,the Poles turned for Germans from a potential ally against Russia into the enemy that would threaten German control over Greater Poland. Polish successes created distrust in local Germans. They felt threatened and the news of the national reorganization of the province was the turning point. The assumption of power by a Polish administration and the creation of a military corps out of the local Polish population create a German fear for their position in a Polish-ruled Duchy.
- We dont support you anymore!
- Germans started to paralyze the development of Polish self-rule. German officials and colonists seized the opportunity and began counteraction, demanding the incorporation of the Polish territories into a unified German state and they accused Poles of repressions. Soon Germans began to form paramilitary units to defend their interests and to prevent local Poles from organizing (Dzielnica, 2004) (3).
- We wont let you have establishment or independence!!!
- The Prussian King ordered Prussian military commanders to prepare an invasion of Polish territories to crush the Polish movement. On April 4, Prussian military besieged Poznan. Poles on their side have begun to create armed units, which were supported by Polish officers from emigration. The Prussian troops terrorized the Polish population without restraint. Also, a role in the conflict was played by German colonists who formed their own militia, engaging in acts of terror against the Polish population. These colonists came from previous settlement efforts by the Prussian government which intensified efforts to settle Germans into the Poznan region after 1815 and were hostile towards the Polish movement. On April 30, the Polish revolutionaries defeated the Prussian forces in the Battle of Miloslaw. It was a very important victory for them, but they could not take advantage of their victory due to their extreme exhaustion. Therefore, the Prussians gained ground and counterattacked the Poles, who in the end suffered a defeat.
- We have been defeated..
