Years: 1772 - 1772
The partition treaty is ratified by its signatories on September 22, 1772.
Frederick II of Prussia is elated with his success; Prussia takes most of the Polish Royal Prussia that stands between its possessions in the Kingdom of Prussia and the Margraviate of Brandenburg, taking Ermland (Warmia), Royal Prussia without the city of Danzig (Gdańsk) (which in 1773 is to become a new province called West Prussia), northern areas of Greater Poland along the Noteć River (the Netze District), and parts of Kuyavia, (also the Prussian city of Thorn [Toruń]).
