As we're all aware, Poland became independent after WW1, following more than 100 years of rule under (mostly) the Russians. Before WW1 began however, there was of course a well-known rebellion in 1905 concurrently with Russia, before which there was the January Uprising in 1863, the Greater Poland uprising of 1846, the November Uprising of 1830 and some more along the way.
Could any of these Polish uprisings have succeeded due to international support or pressure - perhaps as a cause célèbre the same way Greece ended up being in the 1820s or even the Boers for that matter - or a lack of Russian intransigence? What kind of Polish state would we have seen and what kind of effect would this have on Europe as a whole? And would international powers be willing to aid such a rebellion in the first place?
