Background

[edit]

The part that's missing here - though really it should have its own article - is how come Poland (and other parts of Europe east of the Elbe; eastern states of the HRE, Muscovy, etc.) came to HAVE serfdom as late as the 18th and 19th centuries in the first place, while in western Europe it pretty much went away circa 12th or 13th centuries.VolunteerMarek 06:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, chronologically speaking this: In Austria, the reforms were spurred by the Kraków Uprising of 1846 and the Spring of Nations in 1848, resulting in the abolishment of serfdom in 1807, just can't be right.VolunteerMarek 06:18, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
