Targowica Confederation
The Targowica Confederation was a military organization (Latin:"confederatio") of some Polish-Lithuanian nobility, backed by Catherine II of Russia, who opposed the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791, that had been adopted by the "Great" or "Four-Year" Sejm, especially the provisions limiting the privileges of the nobility.
