In 1790, Austria Netherlands rebels against the Hapsburgs and form the Unites States of Netherlands. A revolution in Liege joins the U. S. of N.

In an attempt to weaken Austria, Frederick Willhem II of Prussia suports the U. S. of N. The Seven Provinces (Duth Republic) are invited to join but they refuse.

Poland adopts a constitution in 1791, following to some exent the model of the U. S. of A. and the ideas of the French enlighten thinkers.

The French revolution has lead to a French Republic in 1795. Soon, the French republic allies with Poland, the U. S. of N. and the Seven Provinces in an attempt to preserve the Blance of Power.

Despite Prussian interests in Poland, matched by Austrian and Russian interests, Prussia tries to play some support to the republics in order to weaken Austria.
