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 reached its height under the Macedonian emperors (of Armenian and Greek descent) of the late 9th, 10th, and early 11th centuries, when it gained control over the Adriatic Sea, southern Italy, and all of the territory of tsar Samuel of Bulgaria.
