Partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.The partitions were conducted by the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia and Habsburg Austria, which divided up the Commonwealth lands among themselves progressively in the process of territorial seizures.
There were three paritions: in 1772, 1793 and 1795. With the last one, Poland as the independent state ceased to exist. The powers that participated in partitioning were: Russian Empire, Kingdom of Prussia and Austria (Austria did not participate in the Second Partition in 1793). Actually, Russia played the most important role in the partioning.
Lithuania was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (one of the largest states in Europe) and formed an alliance, and personal union with Poland in 1385 (The Grand Duke of Lithuania and the young Queen of Poland effectively marrying the two nations together). Together they conquered the Teutonic Order in 1410. This treaty signified the beginning of a long, extremely close relationship between the two. In 1569, they signed another treaty that bound them even closer together- as a commonwealth. It was a new and revolutionary form of government. Together they became the primary rye producers (also known as 'the breadbasket') of Europe. Their relationship continued until Prussia, Austria and Russia began the partitions of their land between 1772-1795. After the final partition, Lithuania (and Poland) was wiped off the map until it regained independence 1918. So no, Lithuania was not part of Poland, but a great commonwealth based on a close relationship between the two nations. The Jogaillan dynasty was also Lithuanian (The Polish Royal Line).
Poland was forcibly partioned between Prussia, Austria and Russia in three stages - in 1772, 1793 and 1795.
The Treaty of Versailles didn't in itself establish any new countries. Two countries came into being at the end of WWI: Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Poland, which had been 'carved up' by Russia, Prussia and Austria between 1772 and 1795 was reunited as an independent country. In the Baltic area Finland gained complete independence from Russia, while Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were reconstituted as independent countries. Austria and Hungary became fully separate.
In 1772, 1793 and 1795 Poland was divided up ('partitioned') by Russia, Prussia and Austria. (Austria did not take part in the 1793 partition). Poland was therefore completely split up between three countries by 1795. Napoleon created the Grand Duchy of Warsaw in 1807, and at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, a small Kingdom of Poland was created in 1815 with the Russian tsar as king. Technically, it was supposed to be a personal union only, but after the Poles rose in rebellion against the tsar in 1830-31 Poland was quite simply annexed to Russia in 1831. Poland was revived in 1918. Joncey

Poland became too weak a state to protect its own sovereignty, due to faults in its constitutional structure. So the strong states of Central Europe, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, divided up the territory of Poland among themselves in three treaties of partition, which were negotiated in 1772, 1793, and 1795. Austria gained the agriculturally rich district of Galicia, Russia took the largest slice of land in eastern Poland, and Prussia acquired West Prussia, the smallest but most valuable territory uniting the two chief sections of Prussia.
