Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Partition of Poland, Vol. 23: A Study in Diplomatic History The diplomatic history of the Second Partition of Poland has never hitherto been made the subject of a monograph. It has by no means escaped attention, but it has always been treated as a matter of secondary or collateral interest: it has been adduced to explain the policy of the great Powers during the Eastern and Northern wars of 1787-92, or in connection with the formation and collapse of the First Coalition against Revolutionary France, or again as a chapter in the long struggle between Poland and Russia; it has not been studied as a whole, by and for itself. The serious investigation of the diplomatic questions connected with the Second Partition began in the sixth decade of the last century with Gesckichie (1854-57), Herrmann's Geschichte des russischen Staates (vol. vi, 1860), Zinkeisen's Geschichte des osmanischen Reiches (vol. vi, 1859), and Sybel's Geschichte der Revolidianszeit (1853 ff.). The first three of these works were based chiefly on the records of the Prussian and Saxon archives and on private papers (particularly Diez's), and, owing to the scantiness of their sources, they went very far astray both in general conceptions and in matters of detail. Greatly superior to all of them was Sybel's masterly work, especially in view of the corrections and additions made in the successive editions through which it passed. In it most of the questions that have since been debated were raised, and many of them were practically settled. The '60s were filled by a rather acrimonious controversy between Herrmann and Sybel with regard to the policy of Leopold II; and a little later Sybel engaged in lively polemics with Vivenot and Huffer about the falling-out of Austria and Prussia over the Polish Question, and especially about the character and policy of Thugut. Researches on all these problems entered upon a new stage when towards 1870 the Viennese archives were finally thrown open freely to scholars.

Download or read book The Lands of Partitioned Poland 1795 1918 written by Piotr S. Wandycz and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1975-02-01 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lands of Partitioned Poland, 1795-1918 comprehensively covers an important, complex, and controversial period in the history of Poland and East Central Europe, beginning in 1795 when the remnanst of the Polish Commonwealth were distributed among Prussia, Austria, and Russia, and culminating in 1918 with the re-establishment of an independent Polish state. Until this thorough and authoritative study, literature on the subject in English has been limited to a few chapters in multiauthored works. Chronologically, Wandycz traces the histories of the lands under Prussian, Austrian, and Russian rule, pointing out their divergent evolution as well as the threads that bound them together. The result is a balanced, comprehensive picture of the social, political, economic, and cultural developments of all nationalities inhabiting the land of the old commonwealth, rather than a limited history of one state (Poland) and one people (the Poles).

Book excerpt: THE cause of Poland owed no effective aid to British statesmanship, from the time of Pitt's passivity in 1792 to that of Lord Russell's non possumus in 1863; and there was very cold comfort in the words which, as we learn from Mr. Buckle's new volume, Disraeli used in the house of commons: "If the partition of Poland was a great crime, it was a crime shared by the Polish people, as their national existence could not have been destroyed without some faults on their side.' Students of history who have contented themselves with this kind of self-complacent judgement and the grain of truth which it contains, will do well to read Dr. Lord's monograph, and more especially the introductory part of it, which deals with 'the unfortunate historic evolution of the Polish constitution', together with the very remarkable chapters treating of the beginnings of national revival, and of the attempted realization of them in the constitution of the third of May. Dr. Lord justly holds that the history of the second partition of Poland, which is his proper theme (although he carries it forward in some respects to the much debated ground of the negotiations which ended in the third partition), cannot be understood when viewed as a mere episode in the history of the revolutionary war, or as a result of the transactions (the reverse of complete) between the eastern powers down to the time of the Russo-Prussian Convention of January 1793. To these transactions Dr. Lord has given full attention; and those who can call to mind the controversies of a past generation, in which the conclusions of Sybel's great book on the revolutionary epoch were impugned by Hüffer and others and defended by the eminent author with no measured scorn, will readily acknowledge the use made in the present volume of the new sources, and of the new historical works, Polish and Russian in particular, which have been open to the use of its writer. He has thus produced one of the most notable diplomatic studies that have been recently published, and one which does great credit to the historical school of which he is a member. --The English Historical Review, Volume 21
Download or read book Poland From Partitions to EU Accession written by Piotr Koryś and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys Poland’s move from being a post-feudal, backward, peripheral country to being a modern, capitalist, European state: from the partition of the commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania to the abolishment of ‘second serfdom’; late industrialization to state socialism; post-partition fragmentation to post-Second World War westward dislocation; and from the ‘Solidarność’ movement to accession into the European Union. Could Poland really be considered an ‘underdeveloped’ nation throughout the last 200 years? What factors contributed to its ‘backwardness’? Has Poland yet managed to catch up with the West? This book, the first overview of the modern economic history of Poland to be published in English, addresses these and many other questions crucial for developing our understanding of the economic history of modern Central-Eastern Europe. The economic development of Poland is analyzed through data and statistics, as well as through analysis of the ideas that paved the way for the politics of economic and social modernization.

Excerpt: ... few weeks the news grew steadily more and more alarming. It could no longer be doubted that the Empress meant to attack. Warsaw trembled with excitement, but not with consternation. In the streets, the salons, the clubs there was but one voice: resistance to the last, 100,000 troops to the front, the rising of the whole nation in arms, if need be. Better a new partition, said the Marshal Potocki, than the abandonment of the constitution.1 On April 16 and 21 the Diet in secret session decided upon the measures necessary to put the country in a state of defence. The army was to be raised at once to 100,000 men. The King was authorized to engage experienced generals, artillery officers, and engineers from abroad, to negotiate a loan for 30,000,000 florins, and to employ 9,000,000 florins then in the treasury for military preparations. These measures were to be communicated to the friendly Powers, especially to the Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and Dresden, along with a declaration that the Republic was determined to defend itself in case of foreign invasion.2 Energetic and worthy of the moment these decisions were; but they represented a desperate and belated attempt to effect what ought to have been done three years earlier. In spite of the suddenly darkened horizon, on the 3rd of May the anniversary of the revolution was celebrated with elaborate and splendid fetes. " Warsaw was never more thronged or more brilliant," wrote a contemporary: " that was the last day of Pompeii, dancing over a volcano." 3 Two weeks later (the i8th), Bulgakov presented his declaration, confirming the worst that had been anticipated. 1 Kraszewski, Polska w czasie tnech roMoriw, iii, pp. 124 f.
