Reading about the Polish November Uprising on wiki...I've gathered that this board seems to have a thing with Wikipedia and Poland, but all the same, from that article, the uprising doesn't seem like something doomed from the start-if we believe wiki's numbers for troop strength, the Russians outnumbered the Poles but not crushingly so, and and at any rate, the Poles managed to hold the Russians off for almost a year, and their army was able to escape the Russians, retreat west, and surrender to Prussia.
So, what would it take for the Poles to win, and what sort of state (monarchy, republic?) the uprising create? Would it be limited to Congress Poland, or might the rebels be able to grab some of Poland's more eastward territories?
