January 1797 CE
Following the end of the Kosciuszko rebellion, Austria, Prussia, and Russia had decided to put an end to the unrest by wiping Poland off of the map of Europe.
On October 24, 1795, the representatives of the Russian Empire, Austria, and the Kingdom of Prussia assembled to write the treaty formally dissolving the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and all of her institutions, though the conquering powers do not sign the treaty until January 26, 1797, in St. Petersburg.
