Partitions of Poland
The
Partitions of Poland
were a series of three
partitions
of the
Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth
that took place towards the end of the 18th century and ended the existence of the state, resulting in the elimination of the sovereign
Crown of the Kingdom of Poland
and
Lithuania
for 123 years. The partitions were conducted by the
Russian Empire
, the
Kingdom of Prussia
and
Habsburg Austria
, which divided up the Commonwealth lands among themselves progressively in the process of territorial seizures.
