1772 if you count the First Partition.

1654–1667 if you count the Russo-Polish War over Ukraine.

Or 1605–1618 during Polish–Muscovite War when Polish forces briefly occupied Moscow.

Americans are very spoiled.

The 1794 Greater Poland uprising (Polish: Powstanie Wielkopolskie 1794 roku) was a military insurrection by Poles in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) against Kingdom of Prussia which had taken possession of this territory after the 1793 Second Partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Prior to that Poland went through several unifications and splitting up by Prussia, Russia, and Austria. One of the more well known was in 1772.

Here is a good summary of the various partitions of Poland from the Encyclopedia Britannica — https://www.britannica.com/event/Partitions-of-Poland
