In the 16th century, the city thrived during its most extensive and fastest period of development. It attracted not only Poles but also other nationalities. In 1594, Jan Zamoyski founded the [[Zamoyski Academy]] in Zamość. The city, however, faced numerous invasions, including a [[Cossack]] siege led by [[Bohdan Khmelnytsky]], the leader of the uprising against the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] (1648–1654), and another siege during the [[Swedish Deluge]] in 1656. The Swedish army, like the Cossacks, failed to capture the city. Only during the [[Great Northern War]] was Zamość occupied, by Swedish and Saxon troops.
In the [[First Partition of Poland]] in 1772 the city was annexed by the [[Habsburg monarchy]], forming part of the newly established [[Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria]]; the kingdom became a [[crown land]] of the [[Austrian Empire]] upon its formation in 1804. Following the [[Austro-Polish War]] of 1809 the city was incorporated into the short-lived Polish [[Duchy of Warsaw]]. The 17th Polish Infantry Regiment was formed in Zamość in 1809.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gembarzewski|first=Bronisław|title=Rodowody pułków polskich i oddziałów równorzędnych od r. 1717 do r. 1831|year=1925|language=pl|publisher=Towarzystwo Wiedzy Wojskowej|location=Warszawa|page=57}}</ref> In 1815, the [[Congress of Vienna]] dissolved the duchy and made Zamość part of the Kingdom of Poland, also called [[Congress Poland]], which was controlled by the [[Russian Empire]]. The city played a considerable role during the [[November Uprising]] in 1830–1831 and surrendered as the last Polish resistance point. The fortress was demolished in 1866, allowing the rapid growth of the city beyond its original limits. During the final stages of [[World War I]], in 1918, local Poles liberated the city from foreign occupation, shortly before Poland officially regained independence.
