Most of the Germans who have settled in the region in the middle-ages were Polanized and assimilated into the Polish population in Galicia by the time the Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth was dissolved. Most of the German Galicians in the early-20th century were descendants from settlers who came shortly after Galicia first became a Crownland of the Austrian Empire in 1772. King Joseph II wanted to establish a greater German presence in the area, which is understandable for a new established province.
