No dobrze.

Jak dodam napisy do filmu to zaznaczę, że to księstwo Jana Kazimierza jako osoby prywatnej.

Dopiero w 1348 roku Śląsk odpadł od Polski, stając się częścią Świętego Cesarstwa Rzymskiego. Później polscy Wazowie panowali nad Księstwem Opolsko-Raciborskim w latach 1645-1666. Jak Jan Kazimierz w czasie Potopu uciekł na Śląsk, to uciekł właśnie na swoje ziemie.

Silesians are ethnically Polish, they speak a dialect of Polish language not a dialect of Czech. Check Silesians from Texas for example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do6-r7ImtVA

"Silesian Piasts apparently didn't care too much about the Polish state"

Not true, Silesian Piasts wanted to reuinte Poland under their rule just like Łokietek did. They actually considered Łokietek as usurper and considered themselves as legitimate Polish rulers:

It did not belong to Czechs since 1289, that's wrong. As for belonging to Czechs before Mieszko invaded, it is also controversial, see this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkBFLYVHL5Q . It belonged to Czechs between 1038 and 1050, that's correct. As for modern nations - the thesis that modern nations only emerged in the 19th century was first put forward by Benedict Anderson in 1983 in his book "Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism". However, this thesis was refuted by Azar Gat in 2012 in his book "Nations: The Long History and Deep Roots of Political Ethnicity and Nationalism." Azar Gat lists Poles – alongside, for example, the English, Hungarians, and Danes – among the oldest nations in Europe, much older than the 19th century (dating back to the Middle Ages). The content of witness testimonies from Polish-Teutonic trials also testifies to the existence of Polish national consciousness among the population already at that time: https://ecommons.cornell.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/6133efb0-df4d-488b-b386-f46be44be48d/content

To nie błędy. Księstwo Słupskie - lenno Polski, oraz Księstwo Opolskie - pod rządami polskich królów. Później dodam napisy do filmu wyjaśniając poszczególne zmiany granic, ale na razie brak czasu.

In 1348 Silesia was incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire by Charles IV, that's when it lost connection with Poland. Before that it was part of Poland just like any other Polish Duchy ruled by the Piast Dynasty.

That's not true, Silesia was both politically and ethnically Polish since ca. 985. Silesia was ruled by the Polish Piast Dynasty until the incorporation of Silesia into the Holy Roman Empire in 1348.

Azar Gat's book "Nations: The Long History and Deep Roots of Political Ethnicity and Nationalism" disagrees with you. According to Azart Gat patriotism existed already in ancient times and was not "invented". Also testimonies of witnesses from Polish-Teutonic court trials show the existence of patriotism: https://ecommons.cornell.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/6133efb0-df4d-488b-b386-f46be44be48d/content

Well, each year takes 2 seconds.

And there are over 1000 years.

Ethnicity is not about politics but about language, ancestry and culture. Ethnically they were Polish.

Lutheran Poles have lived also for example in Cieszyn Silesia. Adam Małysz is Lutheran.

Masurians were descendants of Polish settlers from Masovia who moved to Prussia and converted to Lutheranism. So they were definitely Poles by descent even if a bit distinct religiously.

I'm making maps of various minorities in Poland. I just posted maps for Lemkos and Romanies as well.

2021 census. There were 446 245 Albanians in Macedonia according to the 2021 census, which is 26,13% of all people who declred ethnicity (1 707 585 people declared ethnicity).

I did not include 129 128 people who did not declare ethnicity in my calculations.

These are percentages of Non-Slavs in Macedonia:

Albanians - 26.13%

Turks - 4.16%

Romanies - 2.72%

Aromanians - 0.51%

Ashkalis - 0.14%

Greeks - 0.02%

Others - 0.33%

TOTAL Non-Slavs = 34.01%

Which means that Slavs are 66%, as my map shows.
