Was a polity created in 1815 by the Congress of Vienna as a semi-autonomous Polish state, a successor to Napoleon's Duchy of Warsaw. De facto, it was little more than a puppet state in a personal union with the Russian Empire. The autonomy was severely curtailed following uprisings in 1830-31 as the country became governed by viceroys, and later divided into governorates. Due to this limited autonomy we consider Congress Poland as part of Russia from 1832.
Summary
The Congress of Vienna in 1815 established the Kingdom of Poland, also known as Congress Poland, as a personal union with the Russian Empire. This autonomous Polish state maintained a degree of self-governance but was increasingly dominated by the Russian authorities, leading to the November Uprising in 1830-1831.

1. French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars
Were a series of conflicts between France and several European monarchies between 1792 and 1815. They encompass first the French Revolutionary Wars against the newly declared French Republic and from 1803 onwards the Napoleonic Wars against First Consul and later Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. They include the Coalition Wars as a subset: seven wars waged by various military alliances of great European powers, known as Coalitions, against Revolutionary France - later the First French Empire - and its allies.
Was a series of international diplomatic meetings after the end of the Napoleonic wars whose aim was a long-term peace plan for Europe. It redraw the borders of Europe and partially restored the Monarchies of the pre-revolutionary period.
2. November Uprising
Was an armed rebellion in the heartland of partitioned Poland against the Russian Empire.
