The Partitions of Poland 1772, 1793, 1795

Bag om The Partitions of Poland 1772, 1793, 1795

The Partitions of Poland were a key event in the power politics of the late ancien regime, and had major long term consequences for the balance of power in northern and eastern Europe. Over a period of twenty five years Catherine II (Russia), Frederick II (Prussia) and Maria Theresa and Joseph II (Austria) between them wiped Poland xxx; Europe''s second largest countryxxx; off the political map, and Poland disappeared as a state for 120 years. Jerzy Lukowski''s new account, the first comprehensive study of the topic in English since 1915, sets the Polish dimension of this story in its wider European context, illuminating the motives and attitudes of the participants and exploring its consequences. This is a major contribution to the diplomatic history of eighteenth century Europe.
