Suppression of November Uprising

Date: September 8, 1831 • Location: Ochota, Poland

This milestone marked the outbreak and beginning of this historic period, which spanned 1831.

The Russian Empire suppressed the November Uprising in Poland with the capture of Warsaw after a two-day assault.

The Russian Empire was an empire that extended across northern Eurasia from 1721 until the proclamation of the Russian Republic in 1917, forming the final era of Tsarist Russia and the wider Russian monarchy. At its height in the late 19th century, it covered about 22,800,000 km2 (8,800,000 sq mi), roughly one-sixth of the world's landmass, making it the third-largest empire in history, behind only the British and Mongol empires.
