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.
After years of chaos and civil war, the general Alexius Comnenus seized the Byzantine throne in 1081 and consolidated control over the remaining empire as Emperor Alexius I. In 1095, Alexius sent envoys to Pope Urban II asking for mercenary troops from the West to help confront the Turkish threat.
