National Council of the Polish Republic

The National Council of the Polish Republic was a governing body established during Poland’s interim government period in 1831-1832, following the November Uprising against Russian control. It functioned as a central authority representing Polish interests, overseeing governance, finance, and military matters as the insurgent government. Its purpose was to coordinate efforts for independence and self-governance during a time of political upheaval. The council played a crucial role in organizing the national resistance but was short-lived due to the uprising’s suppression by Russian forces.
