The Polish bid for independence in 1830 failed for which of the following reasons?
  1. Poland got little support from other nations in its opposition to Russia.
  2. It was inspired more by diplomacy than Polish nationalism.
  3. After Belgium, European powers feared another successful movement.
  4. The unity among the Polish concerned European powers, which attacked.
  5. Serbia united with Poland, attracting Austria's attention.
Explanation
Answer: A - Russia opposed an independent Poland, and no other European nation was willing to oppose Russia on Poland's behalf. Poland's bid for independence aided the Belgians by slowing the Russian army that was en route to squash that rebellion. However, because the Russian army was in Poland, any support for Poland involved a direct conflict with Russia. The fact that Polish officials remained internally divided further weakened Poland's bid to become an independent state.
