	History of Poland (1795-1918) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the majority of the szlachta was reconciled to the end of the Commonwealth in 1795, the possibility of Polish independence was kept alive by events within and without Poland throughout the nineteenth century.
		Poland's location on the Northern European Lowlands became especially significant in a period when its neighbours, Prussia/Germany and Russia were intensely involved in European rivalries and alliances and modern nation states took form over the entire continent.
		High-handed imposition of land reforms in Poland aroused hostility among the landed nobles and a group of young radical intellectuals influenced by Karl Marx and the Russian liberal Alexander Herzen.

	MSN Encarta - Poland
		Poland was again established as a sovereign state after World War I (1914-1918).
		Poland’s borders are marked by the Sudety mountains (Sudetes) in the southwest, the Carpathian Mountains (Karpaty) in the southeast, the Odra and Neisse (Nysa) rivers in the west, and the Bug River in the east.
		The name Polska (Poland), applied in the early 11th century, comes from an ancient Slavic tribe known as the Polanie (field or plains dwellers), who settled in the lowlands between the Odra (Oder) and Wisła (Vistula) rivers sometime after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century.

	Partitions of Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In traditional history one finds the claim that the regional powers partitioned Poland-Lithuania because of the degeneration of the state and because of the inability of the Poles to rule themselves at the time.
		The Partitions of Poland (Polish Rozbiór or Rozbiory Polski, Lithuanian Padalijimas) happened in the 18th century and ended the existence of a sovereign state of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
		One could characterise Poland-Lithuania before the partitions as already not a completely sovereign state: in modern terms it would be a Russian satellite state, with Russian Tsars effectively choosing the Polish kings.

		There is a period in Poland’s history, from 1795 to 1914, that has come to be known as "the captivity." During these one hundred and twenty years, a united Polish state was nonexistent as Poles were forced to live under the control of three separate alien governments.
		Poland’s history from 1648 to 1795 begins to paint a picture of Poland as a nation slowly having its memory erased.
		Despite being a nation of approximately 10 million people and possessing the ability to exist as an independent state, the partitioning powers deprived Poland of her independence: "The nineteenth century, the era of the industrial revolution and of the victory of capitalism, was for Poland an age of oppression" (Gieysztor et al, 337).
