After the demise of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, Prussia became a member of the German Confederation.

In 1813 King Frederick William III of Prussia gave his An mein Volk (“To my people”) speech at Breslau as a signal that Prussia would join the Russian Empire in fighting Napoleon during the Napoleonic Wars.

wrocitye.jpg When the Prussian-led German Empire was created in 1871 during the process of Germany’s unification, Breslau became the empire’s sixth-largest city and a major industrial centre.
Its population more than tripled to over half a million between 1860 and 1910. By 1939 the city, as a German city until 1945, was naturally almost entirely Germanised; in other words, ethnically cleansed. wroewq.jpg
By the end of the war, two-thirds of the city had been destroyed and 40,000 Breslauers and forced labourers lay dead in the ruins of their homes and factories.
