Political Climate in Poland
By the early 18th century, the commonwealth was a de facto Russian Satellite state.
The partitions resulted in the dissolution of parliament, as well as an uprising that was quickly put down by Prussia and Austria.

Political Climate in Russia
Already had strong influence on politics in Poland, and the commonwealth relied on Russia as a counter to Prussia’s expansion.
Russia had just won the Russo-Turkish War, gaining land just south of Poland.

Political Climate in Prussia
Growing in power and influence in the past century to rival Russia, separated by only Poland between them.
Prussia had just finished Seven Years War, and didn’t want to start a war with Russia.

Political Climate in Austria
Was threatened by Russia’s expansion after the Russo-Turkish War.
France suggested Austria join in the partitioning of Poland in order to avoid war and make things more fair between Russia and Prussia.

The first and second partitions matched our method quite accurately, except for the Lwów Territory which we had given to Russia but was in reality allocated to Austria.
The main difference was with the Central Polish Territory containing Warsaw, which Prussia ended up controlling.
