Moravian enclaves in Silesia

Moravian enclaves in Silesia (in orange)

Moravian enclaves in Silesia were parts of Moravia, but from 1783 until 1928 they were governed by Silesian authorities according to Moravian legislation. They ceased to exist on December 1, 1928 (the day of creation of the province Moravia and Silesia). In fact, most of them were exclaves of Moravia, but in one case its foreland.
