Talk:Yitzkhak (The More it Changes)

After reviewing the history, I don't think it's quite proper to say the Polish territory was annexed to the Holy Roman Empire. It's more accurate to say that it fell under Hapsburg rule, which was centered in Austria at this point, without being the "Austrian Empire" (although from what I can tell, many people in 1772 saw the HRE as the de facto "Austrian Empire", even though it wasn't the de jure). Even Joseph II seems to have demanded the partition in furtherance of his Austrian interests, rather than in his capacity of Holy Roman Emperor.

Hence my rather vague "Joseph claimed the partition" language and removal of references to the HRE. TR (talk) 23:33, September 21, 2014 (UTC)
