November Uprising, Cadet Revolution, or Polish Rebellion of 1830-31

Years: 1830 - 1831

The November Uprising—also known as the Cadet Revolution—an armed rebellion against the rule of the Russian Empire in Poland and Lithuania, begins on November 29, 1830 in Warsaw when a group of young non-commissioned officer conspirators from the Imperial Russian Army's military academy in Warsaw directed by Piotr Wysocki revolts.

They are soon joined by large parts of Polish society.

Despite several local successes, the uprising is eventually crushed by a numerically superior Russian army under Ivan Paskevich.

"History should be taught as the rise of civilization, and not as the history of this nation or that. It should be taught from the point of view of mankind as a whole, and not with undue emphasis on one's own country. Children should learn that every country has committed crimes and that most crimes were blunders. They should learn how mass hysteria can drive a whole nation into folly and into persecution of the few who are not swept away by the prevailing madness."

—Bertrand Russell, On Education (1926)
