November 1830 CE

Armed struggle in Poland begins when a group of conspirators led by a young cadet from the Warsaw officers' school, Piotr Wysocki, takes arms from their garrison on November 29, 1830 and attack the Belweder Palace, the main seat of the Grand Duke.

The final spark that ignites Warsaw is a Russian plan of using the Polish Army to suppress the July Revolution in France and the Belgian Revolution, which would have been a clear violation of the Polish constitution.

The rebels manage to enter the residence, but the Grand Duke escapes in women's clothing.

The rebels then turn to the main city arsenal, capturing it after a brief struggle.
