As someone who is descended from Poles, I sometimes dabble into Polish history. Ever since I first read that Poland had gradually lost their territory to three other countries, I've always wondered:
Is there any thing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth could've done to stop the Prussians, Austrians and the Russians from progressively conquering their land until it ceased to exist, preferably before the first partition?
