Polnische Teilungen#

Partitions of Poland: partition of the Polish state forced by its neighbours Austria, Russia and Prussia in the 18th  century. By the first partition in 1772 Galicia and Lodomeria fell to Austria, Austria did not receive any land from the second partition in 1792, but the third partition in 1795 gave Austria western Galicia (from the Vistula Valley to the north to Piliza and Bug east of Warsaw), which ultimately had to be ceded to the "Grand Duchy of Warsaw" in 1809. Most of the territories received from the first partition remained with the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy until 1918.
