Tho Partitions of Poland.

There have been three partitions or
Poland. The first was in 17T2, when
Prussia took the palatinates Of NAL
berg, Pomeria and Warmia, part or
Culm and a part of Great Poland. Aus
tria took Red Russia, or Galicia; a
part of Podolia, Sandomir and Cracow,
and Russia took White Russia, with all
the part beyond the Dnieper. The sec
ond partition was in 1903, by which
Prussia acquired the remainder OF
Great and a portion of Little Poland.
and the Russian boundary was adj
vanced to the center of Lithuania and
Volhynia. In the third and final par
tition, in 1895, Austria had Cracow,
with the country between the Pilica
and the Vistula. Prussia had the cap
ital, with the territory as far as the
Niemen, while the rest went to Russia.
