Answer 2

(d). Poland was partitioned at the end of the 18th century by three Great Powers: Russia, Prussia, and Australia.

Explanation:

• The Polish Partitions were three partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth that occurred near the end of the 18th century, ending the state's existence and resulting in the 123-year absence of sovereign Poland and Lithuania.
• In the 18th century, Poland continued its political and military decline.
• It was in Russia's interests to keep Poland weak and divided.
• There were also many conservative Polish nobles who were unwilling to surrender their privileges. In 1767 the Russians forced Poland to accept a treaty.
