By the late eighteenth century, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was no longer just struggling; it was being dismantled piece by piece. In this episode, we trace the brutal geometry of the First Partition in 1772, where Russia, Prussia, and Austria sat down to carve up a sovereign state without asking its people for permission. We explore the diplomatic maneuvering of Catherine the Great, who used the pretext of protecting Orthodox Christians to justify her expansion, and Frederick the Great of Prussia, who initially hesitated but ultimately seized the fertile lands of Royal Prussia. You will hear about the tragic figure of King Stanisław August Poniatowski, forced to ratify the treaty that erased his country from the map, and the quiet resistance of intellectuals like Hugo Kołłątaj who began planning the nation's survival long before the borders were redrawn. This is not just a story of defeat, but of the moment Poland ceased to exist as a political entity, setting the stage for over a century of struggle. #Poland #PartitionsOfPoland #CatherineTheGreat #FrederickTheGreat #StanislawAugustPoniatowski #RussianEmpire #Prussia #AustrianEmpire #1772 #RoyalPrussia #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #EasternEurope #PolishHistory #Commonwealth #Kosciuszko #LiberumVeto #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
