November Uprising

1830–1831 · 19th century

The November Uprising was a Polish revolt against Russian rule in Congress Poland that began in Warsaw on 29 November 1830 with an attack by officer cadets on the Belweder Palace. The Sejm deposed Nicholas I as king of Poland in January 1831, but the Polish army was defeated and Warsaw fell in September 1831. Russia abolished the kingdom's constitution, and thousands of Poles left in the Great Emigration.
