Years: 1792 - 1803
The second partition of Poland is far more injurious than the first.
Russia receives a vast area of eastern Poland, extending southward from its gains in the first partition nearly to the Black Sea.
To the west, Prussia receives an area known as South Prussia, nearly twice the size of its first-partition gains along the Baltic, as well as the port of Gdansk (renamed Danzig).
Thus, Poland's neighbors reduce the commonwealth to a rump state and plainly signal their designs to abolish it altogether at their convenience.
