Polish uprising in the province of South Prussia (1806)
The Polish uprising in the province of South Prussia of 1806 was an uprising by Polish patriots against the foreign control of the Kingdom of Prussia in the province of South Prussia . As part of the Second Partition of Poland , the area was annexed to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1793.
The uprising was organized by General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski , who had the support of the French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte . With the advance of the French army during the Fourth Coalition War , the uprising was successful and, as a result of the Peace of Tilsit, led to the establishment of the Duchy of Warsaw , a Polish buffer state directed against Prussia and Russia .
During the Franco-Prussian War of 1806/07, units of the movement, called insurgents on the Prussian side , fought on the French side.
The Polish uprising in the province of South Prussia of 1806 is one of the only two successful uprisings in the history of Poland against the partitioning powers , along with the Poznan uprising (1918-1919) .
