Was Lithuania once part of Poland?
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).

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.

Poland was revived in 1918. Joncey

What was the cause of the partitions of Poland?
The partitions of Poland, which occurred in the late 18th century, were primarily caused by the weakening of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth due to internal strife, political corruption, and a lack of strong centralized authority. Neighboring powers—Russia, Prussia, and Austria—exploited this instability, driven by their own expansionist ambitions. The partitions were formalized through a series of treaties in 1772, 1793, and 1795, ultimately leading to the complete dissolution of Poland as a sovereign state by the end of the 18th century.

Yes, Catherine the Great played a significant role in the partitioning of Poland during the late 18th century. Through a series of agreements and military actions, Russia, along with Prussia and Austria, divided Polish territory among themselves.
