Which foreign policy affected Poniatowski's reign the most?
Enlightened absolutism
The Partitions
Balance of power
Imperial expansion
Answer
The Partitions were a series of three treaties signed between 1772 and 1795 that resulted in the division and annexation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Habsburg monarchy. The partitions had a profound impact on Poniatowski's reign, as they weakened the Commonwealth and made it more vulnerable to foreign influence.
