Best Answer

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.
