An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Upon its creation, the Army numbered 30,000 (out of the Duchy's population of 2.6m). The size of the army was of a considerable economic burden to the small state. The army was expanded several times; it was doubled in 1809. Several regiments were sponsored by the French. For the war of 1812, almost 100,000 men were fielded - more than the Army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ever numbered. In the fall of 1813, the Army, reconstructed after the defeat in Russia, numbered about 20,000 or 40,000 (sources vary).

  • Upon its creation, the Army numbered 30,000 (out of the Duchy's population of 2.6m). The size of the army was of a considerable economic burden to the small state. The army was expanded several times; it was doubled in 1809. Several regiments were sponsored by the French. For the war of 1812, almost 100,000 men were fielded - more than the Army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ever numbered. In the fall of 1813, the Army, reconstructed after the defeat in Russia, numbered about 20,000 or 40,000 (sources vary). It is estimated that about 180,000 to 200,000 men served in the Army throughout its brief existence. In addition to the Army of the Duchy of Warsaw, Poles also served in other formations allied to France; most notably, the Vistula Legion. In addition to the standing army, a national guard could be called into action, as has happened in 1809 and 1811. Notable Polish commanders of the Army of the Duchy of Warsaw included prince Józef Poniatowski (who was the army chief commander throughout most of its history) and Jan Henryk Dąbrowski.
