Could the Kościuszko Uprising have Succeeded?

So I was reading about the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and I discovered this interesting little chapter of history and naturally my first thought was wondering how it could have succeeded.

It strikes me as unlikely, given the sheer numbers disparity, but it would really depend on how hard the other European powers are willing to fight to put the uprising down.

Also, if anyone knows some good books about the Partitions I'd appreciate some recommendations.
 
No.

Too ambitious goals, too large power disparity, too little foreign support.

It was a swan's song for a nation which decided to not go down without a fight, but that fight was futile from the very beginning. At that point, nothing short of Russia (and maybe Prussia and Austria) suddenly collapsing could have saved the Commonwealth.
 
Kościuszko was wrong, masses of peasants armed with farm equipment are not going to prevail over professional armies on the long run.
Also-it was during French Revolution, so Austrians, Prussians and Russians would portray rebellion as second source of revolutional danger.
 
By 1794 uprising could not do anything good to PLC. Last chance was lost in 1791-if Catherine II died just after 3 May-her son Paul belived that Poniatowski is his biological father, he would not start war against his daddy.
