Examples
Catherine supported Poniatowski as a candidate to become the next king.
In 1757, Poniatowski served in the British forces during the Seven Years' War, thus severing close relationships with Catherine.
News of Catherine's plan spread and Frederick II (others say the Ottoman sultan ) warned her that if she tried to conquer Poland by marrying Poniatowski, all of Europe would oppose her.
She told Poniatowski to marry someone else to remove all suspicion.
