The Greater Poland Uprising broke out on December 27, 1918 against Germans and lasted two months. It resulted in both military and diplomatic success of Polish. This event triggered the decision of Entente countries to give the territory of Greater Poland to Poland by the power of the Versaille Treaty in June 1919.
