Greater Poland
Greater Poland, often known by its Polish name Wielkopolska ((ドイツ語:Großpolen); Latin: ''Polonia Maior'') is a historical region of west-central Poland. Its chief city is Poznań.
The boundaries of Greater Poland have varied somewhat throughout history. Since the Middle Ages the ''proper'' (''właściwa'') or ''exact/strict'' (''ścisła'') Wielkopolska (often referred to as ''ziemia'', that means ''land'') included the Poznań and Kalisz voivodeships. In the wider sense (as ''dzielnica'', i.e. ''region'') it encompassed also Sieradz, Łęczyca, Brześć Kujawski and Inowrocław voivodeships (more eastward). One another meaning (as ''province'') included also Mazovia and Royal Prussia. After the Partitions of Poland, Greater Poland was often identified with the Grand Duchy of Posen. The region in the proper sense roughly coincides with the present-day Greater Poland Voivodeship ((ポーランド語:województwo wielkopolskie)).
== Name of the region ==
Because Greater Poland was the settlement area of the Polans and the core of the early Polish state, the region was at times simply called "Poland" (Latin ''Polonia''). The more specific name is first recorded in the Latin form ''Polonia Maior'' in 1257, and in Polish ("w Wielkej Polszcze") in 1449. Its original meaning was ''the Older Poland'', as opposed to Lesser Poland (Polish ''Małopolska'', Latin ''Polonia Minor''), a region in south-eastern Poland with its capital at Kraków which became the main center of the state later.
