WI: Majorly Polish Silesia

From what I heard the Poles in Silesia ARE loyal habsburg subjects, what if the attempts during the Habsburg times to revive the Polish culture in Silesia were a success and the reformation fails in Silesia, and the Polish Catholic culture flourishes - the Reformation in most of Silesia have an Anti-Polish character.

How could the history of Silesia proceed, would bohemia end up like the netherlands and we get a silesian'belgium' and protestant czech republic and how would the Habsburgs treat them.

How would a majorly Catholic Polish Silesia balance with a Protestant Bohemia-Moravia.

Just for information, here are two maps.It is inteesting how clear the religious border is.

But there are protestant German area, catholic German areas, catholic Polish areas and even one district (Kreuzburg) that was apparently strongly protestant AND Polish-speaking. Not unlike Masuren in East Prussia.

Most of the Polish Protestants in Silesia are in Cieszyn, I think.
