I am aware of this story. Very similar to the Chinese story during the Warrior Kindgom story of the battle of Western Chi (濟西之戰) in 284 BC when 5 kingdoms attacked the Kingdom of Chi and reduced it to just 2 cities which looked like the end of the old all powerful Chi. Both cities held out for 3 year until a surprise counter attack with Fire Ox Counterattack(火牛陣) with the use of an night attack with Oxes with fire lit on their horns drove back the occupational forces followed up by a series of counterattacks which pretty much liberated all of Chi territory. Of course the Kingdom of the Chi was never the same after this and really became a second rate power. When I talk to other Chinese about the Deluge I tell them it is the European version of the near destruction and miraculous revival of Chi in the Warriors States period.

Once again an excellent piece of history presented by Eastory. Keep up the great work.

Your videos are hard work and I appreciate your dedication to them. Thank you so much for these videos

Great work!Thank you for putting so much work in this.

It's a great introduction to this topic, especially for the people who don't know much about it (which I imagine are most of the viewers from outside the modern countries that were within the old borders of the Commonwealth). Of course, if we want to go more in-depth we could talk for hours just about the origins of the conflict between the Zaporozhian Cossacks and the Commonwealth. For example, the Cossacks were not only protecting to some extent the frontier from the Tatar rides but were also riding the Crimean Khanate back, which was an Ottoman vassal state. Moreover, they were riding the Ottoman territory itself! BTW Contrary to the later popular image of cossacks as a cavalry force, they were doing it primarily through the Black Sea on boats. As you could imagine this caused a bit of a stir in the Polish-Ottoman relations and was a major reason for the generally negative predisposition of the Commonwealth's authorities towards the Zaphorosian Host. Also, some Polish nobles, especially in the earlier period, actually joined the Zaporozhian Cossacks, either looking for adventure or fleeing from the law. The leader of the first cossack uprising in 1591-1593 was one of such Polish nobles named Krzysztof Kosiński. Other notable examples include Samuel Zborowski and the infamous troublemaker Samuel Łaszcz, who later in his life fought against the cossacks. The church Union of Brest in 1596, which was supposed to bring greater religious harmony and unity within the Commonwealth but had the exact opposite effect is another complicated issue that greatly contributed to the tensions in Ukraine.

@@National-Democrat.Ukrainian Yeah, if something similar to the 1658 Treaty of Hadiach was proposed and accepted a couple of decades earlier the Commonwealth could be still around. Instead, when in 1632 envoys of the cossack hetman Ivan Petrizhitsky-Kulaga arrived at the convocation Sejm demanding the right to take part in the royal election as the members of the Commonwealth, they got only a condescending witty response that they are indeed "members" of the Commonwealth, but in the same way as hair and fingernails are members of the body, and thus need to be cut down from time to time. Probably one of the biggest mistakes that the Polish-Lithuanian ruling elite made. I just wanted to point out that the whole conflict (as pretty much everything in history) had a rather complex background.

This video was awesome but here are a few constructive comments: - Effectively, to read all the little things and references on the drawings that are the nice specific thing about your videos, that we love, one has to pause the video, each time, for two seconds, so if the images would appear at least for one second more each time, it wouldn't break the flow as often because pauses would be less often needed in some of the cases, while maintaining the idea of "subliminal messages". - Moreover, why call him "John" Casimir Vasa? And not Jan Kazimierz Waza or, better, Johan Kasimir Vasa? I know the explanations are provided in english, but this doesn't seem like a good justification when you have in fact one opportunity to give people their actual names.

Tots watch "With Sword and Fire" (Ogniem i Mieczem), it's on KZread with English subtitles.

I am Slovak and reading Ogniem i mieczem in Polish language (With Fire and Sword) by Sienkiewicz, 1884. Though the great Polish writer could be wrong about some historical facts, the novel itself depicts the whole war perfectly. Nowadays relationships between Poles, Ukrainians, Belarussians and Russians are the heritage of those times. But we have to take into account the Polish involvement into Russian affairs during the rule of Boris Godunov and Ivan and SMUTA period. Not so easy to decide who bares the biggest slice of the guilt.

only in military terms, in terms of economy it was backward and poor country with small population.

2:29 King Władysław's death was what really made this such a big mess. he had great sympathy for the Cossacks (mutually), as a crown-prince he participated in defending Chocim from Ottomans in 1621 and they have reportedly saved his life. It might be even said that the rebellion was sort-of part of his plan: he wanted a great campaign against the Ottomans (to create a christian state in the Balkans with himself as hereditary monarch in personal union with the PLC, thus making sure PLC will always elect his heirs) and mobilising and rearming the recently crushed and humiliated Cossacks was part of preparations; they were in turn to be given back their priviliedges. As parliament was preparing further crackdowns against the Cossacks, the king urged them to resist and endure until the war comes, when they will be indispensable. * The problem is, Władysław went over the parliament's head, it was very close to treason... When it was discovered, king's plans were shut down. The king ordered his cossack accomplices to destroy his letters (especially those urging resistance), but one of them, Khmelnytsky, stole them and escaped, showing it to his brethren. As a final nail, the parliament gave the Cossack wildlands to duke Wiśniowiecki - a talented, proven administrator who'd certainly colonise it quickly as he already did with his vast yet empty domains, etabilishing towns and villages - thus the "free Cossacks realm" would soon be consumed by civilisation. As the result, the whole army that was preparing to fight for the PLC marched against it. * At first, the cossacks declared that they are loyal to the King and Commonwealth, only fighting against noble opressors. And then, right when rebels start winning, the king - on whom everyone had counted to mediate some agreement - dies. Cossacks decide for full independence... while the Grand Chancellor (king's former accomplice) still has some pro-cossack illusions and makes sure the Crown Armies don't get too succesfull against them. How wonderfull.

At the time many in the Commonwealth were frustrated with the political situation. Many have hoped that Cossacks (very limited and controlled) success and negotiations following it might bring forward some necessary reforms. Of course then the Cossack victories grew out of hand. Many historians conclude that while Poles were too confident in general, the Chancellor, either out of pettiness or idiocy sabotaged the war effort.
