GREATER POLAND UPRISING (1794)

The '1794 Greater Poland Uprising' (Polish: ''powstanie wielkopolskie 1794 roku'') was a military insurrection by Poles in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) against the occupying Prussian forces after the 1793 Second Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Together with the assault by General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski, the 1794 Wielkopolska Uprising prevented the Prussians from intervening against Polish forces in the Kościuszko Uprising in central Poland against Tsarist Russia.
