Chłopicki's Uprising

Chłopicki's Uprising, also known as the November Uprising of 1830-1831, was a Polish national revolt against the Russian Empire's control. Led by General Jan Chłopicki, it aimed to regain Polish independence after centuries of partition. The uprising involved armed resistance primarily in Congress Poland, but it was ultimately suppressed by Russian forces. Despite military efforts and national enthusiasm, the revolt failed, leading to increased Russian control and tighter restrictions on Polish sovereignty. It remains a significant symbol of Polish resistance and the struggle for independence in Polish history.
