Kościuszko Uprising - Background
The first partition of Poland and the War in the defence of constitution resulted in serious weakening of the reformist movement in Poland, supporting the May Constitution. However, after the second partition of Poland the ruling partisans of Imperial Russia united in the Confederation of Targowica were also weakened. The people supporting Russia as the main guarantor of the golden freedoms after the second partition were seen as traitors of their country rather than heroes and opposition to their rule gained much support, both within the gentry and the burghers.
To suppress the opposition, the governments of Prussia and Russia agreed to demobilise 50% of the Polish Army and draft the remaining Polish soldiers into their own armies. On March 12, 1794, General Antoni Madaliński, the commander of 1st Greater Polish National Cavalry Brigade (1 500 men) decided to disobey the orders of demobilisation and moved his troops from Ostrołęka to Kraków. This sparked a general outbreak of anti-Russian riots throughout the country. Russian garrison of Kraków was ordered to leave the city and defeat the revolted Polish unit. This left the city completely undefended.
