Kraków Uprising

The Kraków Uprising of February 1846 was an attempt, led by Edward Dembowski, to incite a Polish fight for national independence. Even though most of Poland (Congress Poland) was part of the Russian Empire, the Polish risings were conducted mainly in Prussia (the Greater Poland Uprising 1846) and in the Austrian Empire.

History
Most of the uprising was limited to the Free City of Kraków, where Jagiellonian University philosophy professor Michał Wiszniewski acted as its chief for a day, to be followed by Rector Jan Tyssowski.[1]
Teofil Wiśniowski, the President of the Uprising Tribunal in the Austrian province of Galizien, led a short-lived uprising in Eastern Galicia, which saw a battle at Narajów involving Austrian hussars.
The revolts were quickly suppressed by the Austrian army that cooperated with local peasants.[1] Subsequently Kraków and its surrounding area were annexed to the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, a province of the Austrian Empire, with its capital at Lemberg (Lwów, Lviv).
