Polish January Uprising
January 22, 1863
Russia's Polish subjects rose once more, trying to restore the lost kingdom. The rising, fought with scythes and stolen rifles, lasted fifteen months before being ground down. Thousands were executed or exiled to Siberia; Russification was tightened. It was the last great nineteenth-century Polish rebellion, and the next one would wait until a world war.
