November Uprising of 1830 (also known as Polish-Russian War or the Cadet Revolution), was an armed rebellion of Polish insurgents against the Russian Empire. At that time Poland as a country didn’t formally exist since its area was annected by the three empires around - Russia, Prussia and Austria. The November Uprising was the attempt to regain the independence, but the Polish insurgence forces weren’t armed good enough to have any chance against Russian Empire - a lot of the insurgents were simple farmers armed only with slightly modified scythes (hence the name "kosynierzy" - "scythemen"). Despite some local successes, the uprising was eventually crushed in less than a year by the power of Imperial Russian Army and the occupants begun retaliation.
