History. Poland had existed for centuries as a very large commonwealth. In the late 1700s, as the result of a weak monarchy, it was partitioned between Russia, Prussia, and Austria and ceased to exist as a nation.
Summary The government consisted of a God-chosen power which was the emperor. Then to maintain and vote on high-importance decisions, there were many government officials and military officers to occupy those jobs. The type of government that the Byzantine Empire used was a mix of aristocratic bureaucratic mix.
The Byzantine Empire unfolded initially as part of the greater Roman. Empire and then, as this framework shattered with Roman decline, took on a. life of its own particularly from the reign of the emperor Justinian onward. During its formative period, which lasted through the first encounters with. the new Arab and Muslim threat, the Byzantine Empire blended Greco-Roman. political and intellectual traditions with new impulses.
