Poland was sliced apart three times by Catherine the Great. First in 117, she took a relatively small piece of northeastern Poland, while Prussia and Austria took other parts for themselves.
The second was in 1793 when she took virtually one full half of what was left and Prussia took the southwestern corner.
The third was in 1795 when she again took virtually on half of what was then left and Prussia and Austria took the remainder, effectively wiping out the entire kingdom of Poland.
Ironically, this third partition was brought about by a revolution led by Thadeus Kosciuszko, who had fought for the new United States of America in the American Revolution.
