From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Warsaw Confederation was a confederation against King of Poland–Lithuania Augustus II the Strong. It was formed on 16 February 1704 in Warsaw.[citation needed] With the backing of Charles XII of Sweden, it dethroned August II and declared Stanisław Leszczyński king.[1][2] In response on 20 May 1704,[citation needed] the supporters of August II formed the Sandomierz Confederation.[1] The Warsaw Confederation was eventually victorious in the civil war in Poland, which ended with the Treaty of Altranstädt.[1] Soon, however, after the Swedish defeat in the Battle of Poltava, the Russians prevailed,[3] and Augustus II resumed the Polish throne in 1709.[4]
