This map illustrates Poland during the Napoleonic Wars with Poland divided among its powerful neighbors - Russia (yellow), Prussia (green), Austria (red) and Saxony (blue). After Napoleon won his campaign against the Austrians in 1809, a portion of the previous Austrian partition was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Warsaw (Saxony). This attempt to revive the Polish state, however, was ultimately doomed with the defeat of Bonaparte.
