Support the channel - / redroomlimb The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, had a rather strange historical fate. Among all the interesting features of this state, such as the right of liberum veto or the ability of the local nobility to unite in anti-royal confederations, there was another feature - geopolitical. It so happened that the state of the gentry and Lithuanians was located right between the three black eagles - Prussia, Austria and the Russian Empire, which repeatedly divided the country into parts until it finally disappeared from the map of Europe after the third partition in 1795. But not long before that, the country had its own constitution, approved by King Stanislav Poniatowski, and the political and economic situation tried to improve, but it did not work out. What does the Great French Revolution have to do with it, the American War of Independence and how did it happen that one of the largest powers of 18th century Europe were divided, despite all the arrogance of heroes like Tadeusz Kosciuszko -- in today's episode of LIMB on the Redroom channel, dedicated to the second and third partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
