Fun fact: Out of all the great powers, only Ottomans didn't support the partition of Poland and even given refuge to the Poles escaping from the Russians in Istanbul. Today there's still a Polish village near Istanbul named (Polonezköy, literally meaning Polish Village (Adampol is its Polish name)). The Poles living in that village even founded a meat company in Turkey which is no longer owned by the Poles but is one of the biggest meat companies in Turkey. Furthermore, after the Polish partition, Ottoman sultan would ask for the Polish ambasaddor at international balls and gatherings in the palace, pissing of the Austrian and Russian delegations. Even though we had huge and brutal wars between 1400-1700, we have respect for the Poles for being such honorable adversaries. Respect to Poland from Turkey.
Commonwealth irl: i have been unjustly executed by the European powers for their own gain A.I EU4 Commonwealth: i single handedly stopped the formation of prussia and russia whilst fighting alongside austria to deter ottoman turks from europe.
Not in my game. The commonwealth cucked Austria, killed off muscovy and novgorod and owns most of eastern Germany and the Balkans, all the way through Crimea and the Caucasus mountains. They did all this single handedly. In order to beat them i had to join up all my European armies into a doomstack and attack their doom stack and then chase down the survivors until i occupied their capital. Then i took the Balkan coast and several thousand ducats. Separate peaced out the allies to break their alliances with them because that war sapped all my manpower for a few years.
I don't think that the problem was only in this. PLC had an archaic system with huge nobles rights, so it was impossible to fight with such absolutistic enemies.
The PLC's main problem was it's complex and easily abused electable aristocracy, who more or less held no interest in the people and defending the culture and lands. Similar to Austria Hungary, similar situation would also appear where the two kingdoms were at odds with each other and the disfranchisement of Lithuanians only helped show the cracks appearing on the Commonwealth
Poland and Russia could have just as easily switched roles, the difference is that Russia managed to completely crush their nobles, despite interference from foreign powers (like Poland) while Poland gave them too much power and foreign powers (like Russia) were able to destroy them because of it
@@jakobmanman5371 Although the empire was broken up, ultimately the Austrian state survived; albeit with significantly reduced territory.

@@niepowaznyczlowiek For all I know the Austrians were a lot more tolerant than Prussia and Russia since they already were an multi ethnic empire. To the point the poles in Galicia want to continue being part of Austria. Plus didn't they acquire those lands in the 19th century.
Meanwhile in my Spain game the commonwealth owns all the Balkans and Hungary and bohemia and all the way up to the Finnish border and killed muscovy and novgorod and the only reason they dont own all of the Balkans is because i vassaled byzantium and took the ottomans land and inadvertently created a polish behemoth by removing their natural predator. Still easier to deal with than a strong ottoman empire, and i surprisingly outnumber them despite them being far bigger, probably population density and vassals.
It was the best maybe in terms of culture, science, prosperity to some degree. But lithuanians and culture suffered massively from unfavourable commonwealth conditions like 2/3 of electors were polish and lithuanians didnt have a say. Lithuanian language diminished, population as well. A lot of lithuanian achievements are considered polish due to the fact that they spoke polish (official language at the time).
It really depends for me, Russia is kind of a gamble, if they get dar enough east they can beat the commonwealth, but often enough they push far enough to effectively kill Russia before
Poland just crossed just crossed To the parallel world It crossed it crossed to the multiverse And now you're lying there - taking your last breath I'm holding back the tears - Oh Poland don't die
Don't worry though. In 1807, France under Napoleon established the Duchy of Warsaw for the Polish people and to appear in the map once again. And only to disappear once again in 1813 when the Russians occupied them again.
The plc can continue to exist in congress of vienna, but the Russia was ambitious and press to them annex the plc, so we have one of saddest deaths to an empire
In one of my games the PlC completely lost all manpower and could get invaded by anyone without a fight so it just slowly got destroyed by Austria, russia, Sweden, the ottomans, and the Netherlands for some reason invaded as well(I assume they were co-belligerents)
