I can quote You Polish elementary books from both primary and secundary schools if You like. But only when I come back home, and it will not be soon
I don't remember much details myself, it's not part of history I'm very keen on.
I remember there was a long story about Polish organisations and scouting, especially in Galicia (Austria), and about German bombing of Kalisz (it was supposed to threaten the population so it'd not pose any resistance, so a defenceless city was completely destroyed, with something like 5000 of 50000 population left after the bombing (not all of the missing were killed, however, some managed to escape), and I think it was one of the reasons for something that was emphasised, that while there were pro-Austrian (Pilsudski) and pro-Russian (Dmowski) political fractions, there were no pro-German ones.
I remember there was unsuccessful attempt of causing an insurection in Poland by Pilsudski, and there was information (and the text too I think) about both German and Polish appeals (?) to Polish people, and about the official plans of the sides of conflicts
when it comes to Poland, and later about Wilson's 13th article and what Soviets initially proclaimed in Polish matter (its right to independance), earlier about the conduct of war on Polish grounds (and elsewhere too, of course),
and later all about forming of Polish state, and the question of both German (the question of Pommerania, the question of Upper Silesia, the question of Masures),
southern (
anyway, there's A LOT we had to learn about it. Too much to brief it here.
What do You mean exactly?
On the other hand, I'd love to read German, Czech etc history school books too.
In fact, our teacher was definitely not very much ueberPolish, if that's what You mean.
In fact, I found her pretty ignorant when it comes to results of Silesian plebiscite.
Because she added that not only Germans won in industrial cities, but even in some other, presumably more "Polish" ones, and she was very suprised to know that Poles in fact won in the areas (mostly rural) that today are inhabited by self-claimed Silesian nation. I think she wanted to counter what was usually taught earlier too much and she's overdone it.
When it comes to Poznan, it is about that Paderewski came, blah blah, the only (almost) fully successful uprising, because they were well organised there, not as lousy Poles elsewhere - the Prussian school made them good.
Silesia - there's a map of ethnic distribution, which may be a bit misleading, because Germans were more numberous than it may seem (as they were a majority in bigger cities). Upper Silesia was originally supposed to be added to Poland without a plebiscite, but Great Britain didn't want to give us the industry.
I don't remember all the details. One of the two first Silesian uprising was due to that Germans killed some Polish miners, and it ended up in that the Police from then had to consist of both Poles and Germans (earlier it was clearly German and was terrorising Poles). Then poland was dumb enough to propose (but I don't know if it is mentioned in all the schoolbooks that it was Poland to propose that) that all the ones that were borned in the region could vote, and it counted in Poles that emmigrated to Ruhra.
Of course, it turned against Poland, because it did nothing to motivate these people to vote (and it was against their interest anyway, I guess), while Germans nicely organised transport of German voters. Eventually, Poland got 40% votes, Germany 60%. According to the rules (but I don't think it was mentioned in the schoolbook), the voting was held by gminas (small districtive regions), and W. Korfanty, who was the leader of Poles in Silesia, demanded a boarder which divided the region according to the results, but giving the entire German exclave - the industrial towns - on Polish side. The allies, however, planned to give Poland just Pszczyna and Rybnik or something, so a third uprising broke out; it was the biggest and the biggest fights were around the mountain of st Anne, which the Germans finally managed to capture.
Eventually, a boarder was settled, giving Poland only 29% of the territory - but with most industry, though
Ironically, the sit of Polish comission for the plebiscite was in Bytom, which stayed on German side, and the sit of German one was in Katowice, which was given to Poland.
Oh, another thing blaimed for failure was that the plebiscite area included areas Poland actually didn't aspire too, as they were clearly German at this time.
There's not much talking about the Masures, except for that there was a plebiscite which was a complete disaster for Poland, mostly due to that at the time it was held,
Soviets were just about to capture Warsaw and voting for Poland seemed a suicide.
There were other reasons, though, I guess: Masures were protestant, unlike majority of Poland, and when it comes to catholics of Warmia, the pope's legate was so kind to tell that people should vote for Germany in fact (I'm not sure if this legate didn't become a pope later), and there were some tricks like that people there were to vote for Poland (written in latin font, which was not used there) or for "East Prussia" (not Germany), written in Gothic font, and there was not kind of good atmosphere around, with some Polish politicians being persecuted or even killed (not only in Eastern Prussia, I recall a memorial plate to some Polish activist named Styczynski killed in my city during the plebiscite as well), and some Polish organisations in east Prussia called for boycotting the plebiscite.
And generally, Poland was busy fighting in the east and didn't pay enough attention to its western boarders.
That's why I was pretty angry at Pilsudski's statue standing in my city.
He did nothing for this town, and I don't know why should he have a statue here.
They could have erected a statue of Korfanty perhaps.
No large empires (like Srivijaya and Madjapahit of Indonesia) or even significant kingdoms (like Malacca of Malaysia) existed who kept comprehensive records. Our original Sanskrit-like script is dead. 
The original Muslim culture continues to exist only in Mindanao. The rest of the Philippines actually resembles Mexico, despite being in Asia.
