Just curious. Why do you think so?

It certainly wasn't very popular with most of its subjects. A very large diverse country weakly controlling immense fertile territories is a standing invitation to invasion by its neighbors.

AS I'm sure you know, in its heyday Poland was an unapologetically imperialistic nation. They even conquered Moscow several times.
