Under Poland's Saxon monarchy, Russia and Prussia constantly meddled in the affairs of the kingdom. In 1768 a civil war broke out between pro-Russian 'commonwealth' Poles and 'confederate' patriots who opposed foreign intervention; Russia intervened directly, and the First Partition followed in 1772. Guerrilla resistance continued, and anti-Russian political moves were snuffed out by a second Russian invasion in 1792. Following a Second Partition between Russia and Prussia in 1793, Poland's national hero Thaddeus Kosciusko led a national uprising against the invaders in April 1794.
