The JanuaryUprising was the longest Lithuanian and Polish uprising against the RussianEmpire: it began January 22, 1863, and the last insurgents were not captureduntil 1865. It started as a spontaneous protest by young Poles againstconscription into the Russian Army. The uprising was soon joined by variouspoliticians and high ranking Polish officers from the tsarist army. Theinsurrectionists, severely outnumbered and lacking any serious outside support,were forced to resort to guerrilla warfare tactics. The insurrectionists failedto win any major military victory, and throughout the campaign, not one majorcity or fortress in Russian-occupied Poland was recaptured. The uprising did,however, succeed in blunting the effect of the Tsar\'s abolition of serfdom inthe Russian partition, which had been designed to win Polish peasants away fromsupporting the rest of the Polish nation. In the aftermath of the uprising,severe reprisals against the Poles, such as public executions or deportationsto Siberia, led many Poles to abandon armed struggle and turn instead to theidea of \"organic work\" - the economic and cultural self-improvement.
