Years: 1815 - 1815
November
The Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland is signed on November 27, 1815, creating Congress Poland, a constitutional monarchy in personal union with the Russian Empire, under terms agreed at the Congress of Vienna.
The Kingdom of Poland had been created out of the Duchy of Warsaw, a French client state, at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 when the great powers reorganize Europe following the Napoleonic wars.
The creation of the Kingdom has created a partition of Polish lands in which the state is divided among Russia, Austria and Prussia.
The Congress is important enough in the creation of the state to cause the new country to be named for it.
