Congress Poland
Congress Poland was a state in Central Europe (Europe) that lasted from 1815 to 1915 CE, about 100 years. The timeline colours it by the language of its rulers: Slavic (Russian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian).
A semi-autonomous Polish state created by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 from parts of Napoleon's Duchy of Warsaw, in personal union with Russia. It gradually lost its autonomy after the uprisings of 1830 and 1863, and Russian rule effectively ended with the withdrawal of 1915.
