Abstract
In 1795 Poland ceased to exist as an independent state following the Third Partition of its territory by its three powerful neighbors, Russia, Prussia, and Austria. The first two partitions took place in 1772 and 1793. The Russian share, the largest of all, comprised most of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Ukraine, and several provinces east of the Bug River. Prussia acquired so-called Royal Prussia (West Prussia and Ermland), Great Poland (Mazovia, including Warsaw). Austria seized Galicia.
