Description
The Teutonic Order was always the main enemy of Poland. In 1410 at Tannenberg, Wladyslaw Jagiello won a tremendous victory over the Order but failed to drive them out of Prussia. However, we have now managed to accomplish that and Prussia is in our hands. Unfortunately, the Teutons are a Crusader Order and are closely related to the Holy Roman Empire and the Roman Catholic Church. Because of this, both the Emperor and the Pope are watching us closely. What shall we do?Actions

Pomerania was considered a part of Corona Regni Poloniae, but accepting this princedom in the Holy Roman Empire weakened Polands rights. During the 14th and 15th centuries, Pomerania was still contested land, but unlike Silesia, which had to be conquered, Polish Kings wanted to annex Pomerania diplomatically.

Description
In 1423, Jagiello, King of Poland, met Sigismund of Luxemburg, King of Hungary, nominal King of Bohemia, and Emperor, in the city of Kierzmark. Sigismund needed this meeting much more than Jagiello. His position in Bohemia was weak and Polish help for Hussites could only make it weaker. He was afraid that eventually Jagiello would accept the crown of Bohemia for himself or one of his relatives - the Czechs had made several offers. Fortunately, the Teutonic Order lost a war against Poland and Lithuania in 1422. He used it as a pretext for diplomatic bargains. Jagiello, as a neophite, was more concerned about a crusade being declared on Poland if it did nothing about the Hussites than about possible danger from the Order. So Jagiello gave up Hussites and Sigismund gave up Knights. Neither kept their promises - soon Sigismund went back to his anti-Polish politics and Jagiello still did not officially support the Hussites. The only real effect of the meeting was to diminish the chance of war.Actions

Description
During the war against the Teutonic Order in 1422, nobility gathered in the camp near Czewinsk forced new privileges on Wladyslaw Jagiello. The nobility gained assurance that their estates would not be seized without a legal verdict of the court of justice. Furthermotr, Jagiello promised not to mint money without the consent of the high officers of the Kingdom and to keep the Statutes of Kazimierz the Great in the judiciary. Encouraged by this victory, the nobles pushed for further concessions in 1423 in Warka. This time, a regional judiciary had been well arranged, but the nobility won the right for forced ransom of the lands owned by rich peasants.Actions

Description
The Hussites were receiving substantial help from Greater Poland. Many of them settled there for a while, using it as a base for further operations against Sigismund. They soon entered cordial connections to the high nobility of that province. That group of people was disappointed with the current political situation in Poland. In fact, they wanted to replace nobles from Lesser Poland, who dominated the country since the renewal of the Kingdom of Poland in the early 14th century. The nobility from Greater Poland had rebelled many times since then, but always unsuccessfully. The Hussites provided another chance for classic feudal rebellion by power-hungry nobles. Zbigniew Olesnicki, bishop of Krakow and devoted Catholic, made the best use of the dangerous situation, getting the support of the nobles of Lesser Poland and forcing Jagiello to issue an edict against heretics.Actions

Description
The area of Kьstrin, Lubusz Land, had been settled by western Slavs since the early medieval era. In the 13th century it passed into the political sphere of Holy Roman Empire. The first act of German colonization was issued in 1175 by Boleslaw I the Tall, Polish prince of Silesia (Lubusz was part of Silesia, not Great Poland), but a significant influx of new settlers didn't start until about 50 years later, thanks to the sale of land to Brandenburg. Due to this colonization and fact that Poland lost interest in its former western parts of the realm while moving towards the east, Lubusz became Germanized. The Polish connection, however, was quite strong, and Polish monarchs still made peaceful attempts to regain this land. If they had succeeded, we could talk about the recovery by the Poles.Actions

Description
Medieval Pomerania was almost never under strict Polish control, mainly due to a natural border composed of forests and swamps that divided it from Great Poland. It is thus unsurprising that it was the first Polish province to switch to the Holy Roman Empire. In 1181, Boguslaw I was vassalized by Frederick Barbarossa. It was not only a medieval law - Boguslaw was given a title of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, and Pomerania became part of the Empire. There was no significant German immigration here for a long time, probably due to rivalry with Silesia, which was more developed and fertile. Overall, there wasn't a significant number of Poles, but the eastern parts (Lembork and Bytow) remained mostly Polish, and are a good example of what might have been had the province been recovered by Poland.Actions

Description
Medieval Silesia was composed of many small principalities. Most of them were vassalized by Jan of Luxembourg in 1329, but three duchies - Siewierz, Oswiecim and Zator remained under the control of Poland. The Jagiellonians were not as interested as the Piasts in this province, so Poland slowly gave up its rights. Germans were settling in the west Silesia since the first part of the 13th century and eventually west and central Silesia had been Germanized, including remnants of the Piast dynasty. Upper Silesia remained mostly Polish, providing a good example of what might have happened had the whole province been recovered.Actions

In January of 1429 Assembly of East and Central European leaders was held in Lutsk. Emperor Sigismund, as well as the Polish King Jagiello and Lithuanian Grand Duke Vytautas were the major participants. During the meeting the Emperor offered a crown of independent Kingdom of Lithuania to Vitautas. Jagiello apparently agreed, but after the uproar in the Polish camp, he quickly rescinded his agreement and hastily left the meeting together with Polish nobles. Soon after, Jagiello offered Polish crown to Vytautas citing poor health and inability to rule, which Emperor Sigismund agreed to. However, the Pope, recognizing a danger of recently converted Lithuanian lands being lost to Orthodoxy, forbade the sending of the crown, and Polish nobles led by Zbigniew Olesnicki captured it on its way to Wilno.Actions

Description
Vytautas died in October of 1430. Before his death, he admitted defeat and handed over the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to Jagiello. While Vytautas was being buried, Svitrigaila took over the castles in Lithuania propria. Few days later, the Lithuanian nobles has elected Jagiello's brother Svitrigaila as the new Grand Duke, and the Polish king himself accepted the choice post factum. However, they failed to get the approval of the Polish Sejm. Svitrigaila was a proponent of independent Lithuanian Kingdom, just like Vytautas was, and enjoyed the support of mainly Ruthenian nobles. He tried to persuade Jagiello to agree to be crowned King of Lithuania again, but the Sejm kept an eye on Jagiello, and did not let him meet with Svitrigaila. Western Podolia, Vytautas's lifelong lordship, was to return to Poland. Svitrigaila tried to prevent this from happening, and even put Jagiello under house arrest. The confrontation in Podolia and Volhynia almost brought the 2 countries to the brink of war.Actions

Description
Jagiello, who was probably born in 1351, was an old man when his first son Wladyslaw was born in 1424. Moreover, Jagiello was elected to the throne of Poland - he was a hereditary ruler only in Lithuania - and his son had no legal right to the crown of the father. In 1425, the nobility and clergy of Poland guaranteed the rights of the child, but complications in Lithuania gave them a chance to strengthen their position. One of the main factors of Jagiello's agreement was that he believed that Lithuania could only be saved if it was in close alliance with Poland. New privileges, granted in 1430 and 1433, lowered land taxes paid by nobility to a token level and gave it them the famous 'neminem captivabimus' law - that no noble could be imprisoned without the verdict of a judiciary court.Actions

Description
After an exchange of harsh words, the Polish army marched into Lithuania and besieged Lutsk. The Lithuanian army was unprepared for war and tried to get help from the Teutons. The siege ended unsuccessfully, and the parties declared a draw with a truce in Czartorysk. After the armistice, a congress was held in February 1432, which ended without result and only worsened relations. At the same time, Svitrigaila continued rapprochement with the Order, the Teutonic-Lithuanian alliance was adopted in May, and efforts were made to bring Mazovia, Moldavia, and Livonia into the coalition, as well as Khan Ulugh Muhammad. Realising the threat, the Polish Sejm decided to create an alternative Duke in the face of Zygmantas, brother of Vytautas. Supported by the Polish king, part of Svitrigaila's entourage attacked him, probably because of his radical anti-Polish views. Zygmantas immediately recognised the Polish king as his suzerain, an act which cost him the support of many Lithuanian nobles. Svitrigaila himself fled to Polotsk, where he began to gather forces to fight for the throne.Actions

Description
After the end of the war in Bohemia, the fate of the Hussites in Poland still hung in the balance. Zbigniew Olesnicki wanted to get rid of the Hussites. This caused a confrontation with the royal court and Sophia Holshanska. They sympathized with the Hussites and wanted to secure the crown of Bohemia for Casimir. With their consent, in 1438 a group of knights went to support the Taborites. Albrecht together with the Utraquists pushed them into Silesia, and in November they were finally defeated. This failure allowed Olesnicki to form an anti-Hussite confederation. Spytek of Melsztyn together with the nobility, burghers and peasants of Malopolska founded their confederation. However, it was not crowded, primarily because of the fear of a popular uprising. The forces met near Grotniki, where before the battle some of Sophia's supporters changed sides. Spytek, along with Hussitism in Poland, was dealt a fatal blow.Actions

Action B of 188090 - The Vacant Throne for Hungary
Description
In 1439 Albrecht of Habsburg, King of Hungary, fell ill, probably of cholera, while campaigning against the Ottomans. Within one month he died, leaving two minor daughters and his pregnant wife Elizabeth. For the case of the unborn child being male, Albrecht declared that his son would be his successor in all his fiefs just before his death. Based on this will, Elizabeth attempted to get the Parliament to appoint her Queen Regent for her unborn baby. Still feeling menaced by the Ottomans, a majority of the Diet consisting mostly of the middle and lower nobility however did not want to trust the country's fortune upon a woman and an unborn child and, led by the Transylvanian noble Janos Hunyadi, desired an adult King with a decent powerbase instead. It was Hunyadi who proposed the most obvious choice, Wladyslaw III, King of the other big Christian Kingdom in East Europe, Poland. Initially with the consent of Elizabeth, deputies of the Diet approached the nineteen-year-old Wladyslaw in Krakow and offered him the Hungarian crown. Meanwhile, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, the male heir Albrecht and she had hoped for, and called him Ladislaus. Since then, she was determined to secure the throne for her child and thus withdrew her approval of the offer to the Polish King. But instructed by Hunyadi and other magnates, negotiations continued. When Wladyslaw eventually accepted the proferred throne on March 8th 1440 and everything seemed ready for his coronation and the union of the two Kingdoms, Elizabeth fled Hungary to Austria with her son and the stolen Holy crown of Hungary. She had Ladislaus crowned King in Szйkesfehйrvбr on May 1st, more than two months before Wladyslaw's coronation on July 17th. The scene was set for a civil war between the supporters of Elizabeth and Ladislaus, called 'Loyalists' who were strongest in Western Hungary and Slovakia and championed by Ulrich of Cilli on the one side and the supporters of Wladyslaw, the 'Nationalists', based largely in the East and Transylvania and led by Janos Hunyadi, on the other.Actions

Description
When the Teutonic Knights arrived in Kulmerland, they built a castle (1230-31) here. The settlement acquired town rights in 1233 and was relocated in 1236 from its original site to Altstadt.

During the 14th century, the city joined the mercantile Hanseatic League. However, in at the middle of the 15th century Thorn started to lose its trade positions in the competition with Danzig.Actions

After the concessions to the Nobility given by Wladyslaw Jagiello in 1425 and during the Thirteen Years War King Kazimierz was forced to new concessions. To be able to raise troops, among them a lot of mercenaries, the King needed money from the Szlachta. In an effort to solve the monarchy's pressing problems he had to accept the Nieszawa Privileges implying that the Nobility had the right to hold local Conventiones Particulares, without which no troops could be raised and no taxes extracted. In this way the Nobility got an efficient and powerful organization with a joint mutual interest, and power of the military and the taxation legislative procedure.Actions

Without finishing his studies, he began working in the office of Bishop Zbigniew Olesnicki. During the years of service, Dlugosz became Olesnicki's right hand, showing excellent administrative skills and protecting the cardinal from encroachments. Dlugosz was also a priest, diplomat and philanthropist. After the death of Olesnicki, Dlugosz began to collect materials on the history of Poland. The result of which was the 12-volume Chronicles of the Famous Kingdom of Poland (Annales seu cronicae incliti Regni Poloniae), which continued until his death. When writing it, Dlugosz referred to ancient examples, critically treated the sources, which was unusual for medieval chronicles. Another important work of Dlugosz is Banderia Prutenorum, which describes the banners of the Teutons captured by the Poles during the Battle of Tannenberg.

A man named Michel Ezofowicz was promoted into the ranks of knighthood in exchange for his faithful services. The only thing that differed this act from thousands of others is that Ezofowicz was a Jew who even kept with the faith of his fathers. This was most likely the only case in European history when a Jew became a knight.Actions

Chicken War is the name for a 1537 anti-King rebellion by the Polish nobility. The term was invented by the supporters of the King who claimed that the ''war's'' only effect was the near-extinction of the local chickens by the gathered nobles. The main cause of the rebellion was a set of reforms initiated by King Zygmunt I the Old, in order to strengthen the King's power. Zygmunts's policies ended with a major conflict. The nobility, gathered near Lwуw in order to force the King to abandon his reforms. It soon transpired, however, that the leaders of the rebellion were divided and that achieving a compromise was almost impossible. The King rejected most of their demands, only agreeing to some minor ones. Too weak to continue the conflict, the szlachta returned to their homes, having achieved little.Actions

Mikolaj Rej is remembered by his nickname 'from Naglowice,' although he actually came from Zhuravno near Halych. He was one of the leading representatives of the Renaissance in Poland, one of the first to write in Polish. Although Mykola studied in Krakow, he developed his talents on his own. He belonged to the faction of the progressive gentry, which had considerable weight in the state. He was a supporter of the Reformation and later became an enthusiast of the teachings of Jean Calvin. Since Rej was a Polish nobleman, his works reflect the ideals of patriotism and pride, harmony and morality."Actions

The great astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus studied first at the university of Krakow and then travelling to Italy where he studied at the universities of Bologna and Padua. While he was in Italy, Copernicus visited Rome, and it seems to have been for friends there that in about 1513 he wrote a short account of what has since become known as the Copernican theory, namely that the Sun (not the Earth) is at rest in the centre of the Universe. A full account of the theory was apparently slow to take a satisfactory shape, and was not published until the very end of Copernicus's life, under the title 'On the revolutions of the heavenly spheres' (De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, 1543). Copernicus' cosmology was considered implausible by the vast majority of his contemporaries, and by most astronomers and natural philosophers before the middle of the 17th century.Actions

Starting from the inhabitants of Ukrainian cities, including deserters and adventurers differs from the territory of Ukraine, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Poland, Lithuania, Moldavia, Wallachia and Crimea. Here you could meet runaway peasants, adventurers, but also the outlaw gentry and sometimes even magnates. All attempts to subordinate these areas to the royal power had failed.

Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski was one of brightest minds of the Renaissance era. This former advisor of the King Zygmunt August and Polish Catholic priest published in 1554 book entitled De Republica emendanta - On the Improvement of the State. This work was a manifesto calling for deep social and political changes in every Kingdom and especially Poland. Frycz called for equity of every citizen regardless of social class, wealth, religion or nationality and a division between the Church and the State. Frycz also proposed reform of penal and civil law, secularization of education and ban of feudal privilages. Frycz's work was soon put by the church on list of prohibited books. However, in his liberal homeland his book 'On the Improvement of the State' was popular and widely discussed. Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski was a man whose mind was far beyond his epoch. Most of his ideas were not realized before the French Revolution.Actions

The Reformation in Poland took on a nobleman's tinge. The middle classes and magnates picked up Calvinism because of the opportunity to govern the clergy themselves and, consequently, to increase oversight of their estates. The schlachta were not interested in ecclesiastical matters. Many noble families of the Malopolska, Podlasia and also in Lithuania converted to Calvinism. At the same time Lutherans, Calvinists, and Brethren drew closer and closer together. Given the protestant majority in the Sejm, this made it possible in 1555 to pass a resolution to convoke a national synod which should reform the Catholic Church on the basis of the Holy Scriptures. Apart from the Polish bishops, invitees to the Council included Jean Calvin himself, Philip Melanchthon - associate of Luther, and Jan Laski - a well-known Calvinist theologian. Ultimately, the future church would be similar to the Anglican church. Sigismund August was not convinced of the reform and invited Marshal Stanislaw Maciejowski to Rome, which had taken up the Counter-Reformation. On learning of this, the king postponed the matter. The following year Sigismund August prohibited by edict further reform of the Catholic Church.Actions

The loan was agreed, but after a while Bona Sforza fell ill. She proclaimed Sigismund II as her heirs before she was poisoned to death. The news reached the king, who demanded the return of the loan.

Jan Laski (John a Lasco) was one of the most prominent reformers in Europe. His nephew was also Jan Laski, Archbishop of Gniezno and Primate of Poland. Having studied in Italy, he was attracted to humanistic ideas. Jan became a priest under the patronage of his uncle, but he was worried about the state of the church, its old orders. In Western Europe, the young priest got acquainted with the ideas of Zwingli, Melanchthon and Erasmus. Finally, disappointed in the ministry, Laski left Poland in 1539. His marriage to a middle-class woman the following year would mark a break with the Catholic Church. Now Laski took up reformist activities. First in East Frisia, where he reorganized the church structure, then in England, where the experience gained was used to reform the Anglican Church. Jan Laski returned home in 1556, when the Reformation gained momentum in Poland. His intention was the idea of a national church, which was not realized either through the king or through the unification of Protestants. Jan had to be content with little, reorganizing church life in Malopolska and carrying out missionary work until his death in 1560.Actions

During the liberal reign of Zygmunt August a group of Polish politicians and writers, including Jan Kochanowski and Mikolaj Rej founded a 'Republic' in a village of Babin, near Lublin. Even name of this 'entity' was a sneer since 'Babin' literally means 'Women's'. This 'Republic' was a parody of Poland with its diet (Sejm), offices and institutional church. It's 'citizens' were spending time on mocking parliamentary speeches, political discussions and famous persons. In many times they were simply mocking themselves. 'Republic of Babin' lacked only King. When Zygmunt August pointed out this oversight, Babin's 'government' responded that they do not need any other beyond him. The 'Republic of Babin' survived decades and many generations of politicians took active part of it. Even today it is a beautiful example of freedoms and right of expression which existed in ancient Poland.Actions

The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was to keep its old laws, a separate treasury and its own army under its own Grand Hetman and Field-Hetman. Effectively the Union was a marriage of two partners, with only the slightest hint of the dominant position of Poland.

Description
In pre-Union Poland, the royal residence was located in Krakow, and the sejm was usually convened in Piotrkow, which was located between Lesser Poland and Greater Poland. In 1569, during the Union of Lublin, it was decided that Warsaw would be the permanent seat of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's general sejm. Since 1575, elections of the Polish king were held between the village of Wielkie Wola and Warsaw. In 1595, the royal Wawel Castle, which used to be the residence of the Polish ruler, was destroyed by fire. On 18 March 1596, King Sigismund III Vasa decided to move his residence to Warsaw, which was in a favourable geographical position. The city was close to different parts of Poland, as well as Prussia, Sweden and Lithuania. At the same time, there was no legal act recognising Warsaw as the capital. With this change, the centre point for Polish attention was moved to the North and East.Actions

Description
The area of Kьstrin, Lubusz Land, had been settled by western Slavs since the early medieval era. In the 13th century it passed into the political sphere of Holy Roman Empire. The first act of German colonization was issued in 1175 by Boleslaw I the Tall, Polish prince of Silesia (Lubusz was part of Silesia, not Great Poland), but a significant influx of new settlers didn't start until about 50 years later, thanks to the sale of land to Brandenburg. Due to this colonization and fact that Poland lost interest in its former western parts of the realm while moving towards the east, Lubusz became Germanized. The Polish connection, however, was quite strong, and Polish monarchs still made peaceful attempts to regain this land. If they had succeeded, we could talk about the recovery by the Poles.Actions

Description
Medieval Pomerania was almost never under strict Polish control, mainly due to a natural border composed of forests and swamps that divided it from Great Poland. It is thus unsurprising that it was the first Polish province to switch to the Holy Roman Empire. In 1181, Boguslaw I was vassalized by Frederick Barbarossa. It was not only a medieval law - Boguslaw was given a title of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, and Pomerania became part of the Empire. There was no significant German immigration here for a long time, probably due to rivalry with Silesia, which was more developed and fertile. Overall, there wasn't a significant number of Poles, but the eastern parts (Lembork and Bytow) remained mostly Polish, and are a good example of what might have been had the province been recovered by Poland.Actions

Description
Medieval Silesia was composed of many small principalities. Most of them were vassalized by Jan of Luxembourg in 1329, but three duchies - Siewierz, Oswiecim and Zator remained under the control of Poland. The Jagiellonians were not as interested as the Piasts in this province, so Poland slowly gave up its rights. Germans were settling in the west Silesia since the first part of the 13th century and eventually west and central Silesia had been Germanized, including remnants of the Piast dynasty. Upper Silesia remained mostly Polish, providing a good example of what might have happened had the whole province been recovered.Actions

Description
The 1573 royal election in Poland-Lithuania was a pivotal event in the history of the Commonwealth, taking place following the death of the last native Jagiellon king, Sigismund II Augustus, and the rejection of his sister Anna as a candidate for queen. It marked a significant turning point in the Polish-Lithuanian monarchy's governance by establishing the principle of religious tolerance and granting religious freedom to nobility, known as the Warsaw Confederation. The election of Henry of Valois played a central role in these developments, as it was hoped that the choice of a Western European prince from an ancient noble house would help to cultivate the Polish court and the Commonwealth's image abroad. The election was notable for the political maneuvering and influence of foreign powers, including France, Russia and the Habsburg Empire. Although Henry's reign was short-lived as he returned to France after less than a year to assume the French throne as King Henry III, the election's outcome had a lasting impact on the Commonwealth's religious diversity and political stability.Actions

Description
In 1572 the Jagellon Dynasty was extinct and a new King was to elected. His name was Henri d'Anjou. On his election he was forced to sign what have later been called the Henrykian Articles, which rectified that Poland was an elective monarchy from onwards. He also signed the Pacta Conventa, which was a formal contract between the elected monarch and the Sejm. In practice the monarch lost all power over his country. He had no power over governmental officials and he had a mere 3000 men strong Royal Army. To get anything extra he had to beg the Sejm to authorize. At this moment Poland effectively stopped being a monarchy, as the monarch was a mere figure head, and instead a true Aristocracy.Actions

Description
Religious tolerance in Poland had had a long tradition and had been de facto policy in the reign of the recently deceased King Zygmunt II. Following the childless death of the last King of the Jagiellon dynasty, Polish and Lithuanian nobles (szlachta) gathered at Warsaw to prevent any separatists from acting and to maintain the existing legal order. For that it was necessary to make all citizens unconditionally abide by any decision taken by a body, and the confederation was an important proof that two states stand together. On 28th of January 1573 the nobles signed a document in which representatives of all the major religions pledged each other mutual support and tolerance. The confederation created a legal basis for a new political system and at the same time secured the unity of the state which had been inhabited for generations by communities from different ethnic backgrounds (Poles, Lithuanians, Ruthenian, Germans and Jews) and of different denominations (Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Jewish and even Muslim). This act is remarkable in that it was not imposed by a government or by consequences of war, but rather resulted from the good will of members of Polish-Lithuanian society. It was also influenced by the 1572 French St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, which prompted the Polish-Lithuanian nobility to see that no monarch would ever be able to carry out such an act in Poland. The articles of the Warsaw Confederation were later incorporated into the Henrician Articles, and thus became constitutional provisions alongside the Pacta conventa also instituted in 1573.Actions

Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski was a representative of the most influential princely family in Ruthenia. After the struggle for his father's legacy, which ended in 1574, Ostrogski received extensive estates in Volhynia, Kiev, Podolia, and Galicia. Ostrogski invested heavily in the development of these lands, especially in Ostroh, which was called 'Volyn Athens' because of its cultural importance among Orthodox. In Ostroh in 1576 an academy began to operate, which became the first such institution in Ukraine. Here Ostrogski sheltered Ivan Fyodorov, who published the first complete text of the Bible in Church Slavonic. Ostrogski also was a voivode of Kiev Voivodeship and an active public figure.Actions

The 1575 royal election in Poland-Lithuania was unexpected, having taken place following the abdication and departure of King Henry of Valois. Henry had been elected King of Poland in 1573 but quickly left to assume the French throne following the death from tuberculosis of his elder brother King Charles IX. The 1575 election was notable for the absence of a clear successor, leading to a lengthy interregnum characterized by political instability and rivalry among various noble factions, known as the szlachta. This period of uncertainty emphasized the power of the Polish nobility and their ability to influence the selection of monarchs. Eventually, in 1576, Stephen Bathory, a Transylvanian prince, was elected as king, bringing relative stability and successful military campaigns to the Commonwealth during his reign - though he first had to put down the 1575-77 Danzig rebellion.Actions

In 1576 the new King, Stefan Bathory, began reorganising the army. He ensured the disappearance of the knight and halted the hussars' increasing use of armour, keeping them a fast manoeuvrable heavy cavalry. Batory increased the training of the hussars and so laid down the basis of this superb cavalry. Bathory was determined to improve the Polish infantry, hence his reorganisation efforts focussed on this part of the army. He modelled the new infantry on Hungarian infantry (90 percent arquebusiers, 10 percent spearmen) and also ended the use of armour.Actions

This placed much of the monarchs juridical power in the hands of the elected nobility deputies, further strengthening the nobility class.

Description
Poland was a safe haven for Jews. Although in some royal cities they were not allowed to settle or reside, in other cities they had legal guarantees, the inviolability of the kahal, and their own judiciary. For Jews, the 16th century was generally a golden age. They cultivated their own farming fields. They occupied a significant share of the economy of cities. Rabbis enjoyed the benefits of printing. Poland became a cultural and spiritual centre of the Jewish people.The King created the Sejm of the Jews of the Crown, a unique supreme body of self-government. At first, it was convened to resolve complex tax issues. Then its activities expanded to include legislative, administrative, legal, and spiritual and cultural roles. The Sejm met twice a year, in Lublin and Jaroslaw, representing Greater Poland, Lesser Poland, Red Russia, and Volhynia. A separate body was later created for Lithuania. The Waad Arba Aracot gained great prestige among Jews throughout Europe.

Description
Due to its ethnic and religious diversity, Poland was ironically nicknamed the 'New Babylon'. One of the most notable groups was the Scots, who arrived en masse in the 16th century. They were uncomfortable and unpromising at home, and migration to other countries allowed the Scots to prove themselves. Religious tolerance was crucial for resettlement in Poland. In Poland, the Scots became known as successful merchants and moneylenders. Many of them were also mercenaries who were valued for their good military training, but they clearly lacked loyalty. By the 1600s, there were about 40,000 Scots living in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, who retained their identity until the 18th century, assimilating into Lithuanians and Poles.Actions

Description
The 1587 royal election in Poland-Lithuania was called following the death of King Stephen Bathory and was marked by intense political maneuvering and foreign influence - particularly from the Habsburg court in Vienna, who lobbied heavily for the Emperor's younger brother Maximilian. The election ultimately resulted in the selection of Sigismund Vasa, a Swedish prince and grandson of Sigismund I 'the Old' of Poland, as the new monarch. Sigismund's election was significant because it marked the beginning of the Vasa dynasty's rule in the Commonwealth, which would last for over half a century. His reign would be characterized by conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, and tensions between the monarchy and the powerful Lithuanian nobility, contributing to the immense challenges faced by the Commonwealth during this period.Actions

Michal Sedziwoj, or Michael Sendivogius, was a Polish alchemist, philosopher, and medic and a pioneer of modern chemistry. Sendivogius was different from most of his colleagues since he never claimed that he possessed philosopher's stone or any other kind of supernatural power. He preferred empirical studies which led him to many discoveries. For example, Sendivogius assumed that air is not a single substance, and by heating saltpeter he isolated oxygen, which he called the Elixir of Life. Sendivogius's fame reached Emperor Rudolf II, who invited him to Prague and imprisoned him, believing that Sendivogius actually possessed the legendary philosopher's stone. This led to a major diplomatic crisis between Poland and Austria. The alchemist was eventually released on demand of the Polish King Zygmunt III.Actions

Description
The 1590 royal election in Poland-Lithuania was called following the death of King Henry of Valois, who had ruled concurrently as King Henry III of France. The union between the two distant realms had been deeply unpopular with both the French Parlement and Polish Sejm, which were frequently called to levy taxes in order to pay for expensive wars in aid of the other kingdom. Whilst it could be argued that the Commonwealth benefitted from aspects of French culture and technology that made their way into the country during Henry's reign, he always viewed France as his home and mostly ruled the Commonwealth through a succession of favourites he employed as regent. Though initially a popular monarch whose election was considered a victory for Polish diplomacy, Henry's regular (and expensive) trips back to France did little to enamour him to the Poles and Lithuanians, few of whom mourned his passing in 1589. The election of 1590 was dominated by the choice between two candidates: the Swedish prince Sigismund Vasa - who, as the grandson of Sigismund I, was the Jagiellon heir by primogeniture - or the influential Habsburg candidate Archduke Maximilian, ruler of Further Austria. A small group of Henry's favourites advocated maintaining the union with France in the person of the new king there, Henry IV of Bourbon, but this suggestion was quickly shot down by members of the Sejm who pointed out that no one present could remember what the previous king by that name even looked like.Actions

Description
Since the Great Schism of 1054 between the Catholic and Orthodox faiths, Christians had looked for a way to bring the two religions together. In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth this thought emerged amidst the crisis of the Orthodox Church. Ruthenian Orthodox were on their own, skeptical of the patriarchs in Constantinople and Moscow and under pressure from dominant Catholics. Seeking to renew the church, the Orthodox turned to Reformation ideas, such as worship in their own language and their own educational system. But in general the complexity of the situation pushed some of the Orthodox clergy and nobility to come to terms with the Catholics. In 1595 the Pope and the two Orthodox bishops had a meeting, at which the bishops agreed to a union with the Church, similar to the Union of Florence (1439). Nevertheless, an official decision had to be made by a church council. Over the next year two opposing factions emerged. Those Ruthenian Orthodox who favored union with Catholics expected equality in church affairs and protection from encroachment by Poles and Russians. In addition, the Unites wished to retain their authority and political influence. Opponents, who comprised a majority of the Orthodox, saw uniatism as the swallowing of one church by another. Some catholics perceived the union ambiguously, but most of them saw in it the further polonization of Ukraine. In October 1596 Catholics and some Orthodox met in a church council in Brest to approve a limited union. The Orthodox Bishops offer to recognize the authority of the Pope as long as their traditional liturgy and rights were allowed to continue, including the rights of priests to marry. At the same time a council of the Disunite Orthodox also took place. Each council excommunicated the other and appealed to the king for support.Actions

In 1593, war between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs started. In 1594 a very strong Tatar raid, carried by about 20,000-30,000 men led by the Khan of Crimea, Gazi II Giray plundered Pokucie and moved to Hungary through mountain passes, in order to plunder Habsburg lands. Commonwealth troops gathered too late to intercept it. The Prince of Transylvania, Sigismund Bбthory, nephew of former Polish King Stefan Batory, had strengthened Habsburg influence in Moldavia after setting Stefan Razvan on the Moldavian throne. In 1595 Zamoyski, persuaded by Moldavian refugees, decided to intervene. The Commonwealth forces under hetman Jan Zamoyski crossed the Dniestr, defeated local opposition and Ottoman reinforcements, and set Ieremia Movila on the Moldavian throne as a Commonwealth vassal. This was seen by many as very dangerous step because Ottomans were preparing to place their own candidate on Moldavian throne.Actions

At the beginning of the 17th century Poland saw a drastic turnover in its cultural life. Up to this date Poland's material culture was just like that on the West. But it changed. Polish nobiles started to believe in myth that they are descendants of an ancient nomadic people named Sarmatians. That gave name to this cultural movement - Sarmatism. Sarmatism was famous for its unique 'Polish' costumes (in fact it was a mixture of Hungarian and Turkish costumes), art, way of life and even way of speaking in intentionally incorrect Polish. Unfortunately, soon the main virtues of Sarmatism degenerated. Patriotism turned into xenophobia, hospitality into massive drunkenness, love of tradition into social and political conservatism, pride into ferocity. Sarmatism did not affect only the westernmost parts of the country. Elsewhere it went out of fashion in the second half of 18th century when Poland returned to the Western ways.Actions

While Sigismund was intrigued with the idea of releasing the pretender, he was well aware of nobility's concern with sponsoring such an enterprise directly, as they were scared of possible alliance between Sweden and Russia which would've likely materialized had Poland openly supported the cause of the pretender.

Description
Zygmunt III was the son of the King Johan III of Sweden. His father was a man that ruled a staunch protestant country, but with a personal leaning toward Catholicism. Zygmunt was brought up by Jesuits and preferred their company. Religion was as important to him as politics and one of his great obsessions was to make Catholicism the State-religion of Poland. This was perhaps the most impossible task a man, even if King, to accomplish in Poland. The Freedom of religion and the ideological principle of religious tolerance was the fundament of Polish society. Zygmunt though strong willed and stubborn tried. He of course had the whole country against him and failed. These acts also made him many enemies, which would stop him from reforming the government and strengthen Royal power in the first decade of the 17th century.Actions

Description
In the early 17th century Poland was one of the mightiest countries in the world, yet she had great problems. The trade and technical production of Eastern Europe was based along the Baltic Coast. There lay the future of the next major power in the area. The King saw this and tried to improve Polish position in these areas, but the Szlachta was not remotely interested. Her interests lay in the Ukraine and the Wild lands where the Magnates could rule armies of serfs on the vast agricultural production plants. This was the first disagreement between King Zygmunt III and the Nobility. Another one was the matter of the religious freedom. The King never stopped working for making the Catholic Faith the foremost religion in the country. However he was quite unsuccessful. The last disagreement was the about Royal power. Zygmunt was the grandson of the strong Swedish King Gustavus Wasa and he worked for absolutism. Zygmunt fought an uneven fight, but his struggle irritated the Poles so much that his reputation is tarnished to this very day. He also managed to upset people with his undiplomatic efforts to increase his power and because of that the Zebrzydowski rebellion stopped his effort for good.Actions

Description
The Time of Troubles in Russia was a great triangular drama, between Poles and Swedes and of course, Russians in the Middle. Poland had since the outbreak supported the different False Dimitrijs, but in 1609 a Russian Boyar embassy arrived in Warszawa and proposed to make Zygmunt III's eldest son, Wladyslav, the new Tsar of Russia. This was a great and interesting opportunity and with a completely different father, Wladyslaw might have brought the Wasa Dynasty on the Russian throne. However, one of the prerequisites was that Wladyslaw converted to the Orthodox Faith something that was completely unthinkable for his father, the Jesuit-King. Instead the refusal made that faction of Boyars rally around a new candidate and Zygmunt had to declare war on Russia to be able to meddle in that muddy pound.Actions

The Union of Brest did not bring the desired results and only escalated the religious strife. The Ukrainian population was skeptical of the Unite Church, and the Polish authorities ignored its existence. The Orthodox Church operated semi-legally, but was kept alive by the brotherhood and the Cossacks. In 1620 Hetman Petro Sahaidachny, along with his entire army, joined the brotherhood and then resumed the highest church hierarchy without the consent of the king. Bishops chose Job Boretsky as new Metropolite of Kiev, who was ordained in secret in October 1620. Unhappy with such impudence, repression began against the Orthodox.Actions

According to the Constitution of Radom of 1505, a nobleman could be only the one whose parents were also nobles. In reality, during this time, many false nobles were born, who were actually burghers and peasants who successfully married. Since there was no list of nobility, it was impossible to refute the dishonest. Valerian Nekanda Trepka compiled his own database, derisively called Liber Chamorum (The Book of the Boors), although the name Liber generationis plebeanorum (The Book of Plebeian Clans) is also found. According to Trepka's estimates, there were 2500 families that were unlawfully called noble. More than half came from the Krakow Voivodeship. Partly compiled from rumors and partly by the author and his informants, the book reflects the noble life of the time with relationships, scandals and the inherent stubbornness of the nobility. Written in colloquial language, it contains elements of prose, short stories, short stories and the beginnings of a novel.Actions

He worked on the theory of numbers and geometry, solving the problem of why bees create hexagonal honeycombs by demonstrating that the hexagonal shape is the most efficient way of using wax and storing honey. In his work, one can find the beginnings of Fermat's small theorem, one of the basic theorems of number theory. Brozek was a contributor to Nicolaus Copernicus' theories, an ardent supporter and early promising biographer of Copernicus. Also, during the dispute between the Academy of Krakow and the Jesuit Order, Brozek criticised the allegedly free character of Jesuit schools. The Collegium Broscianum building at the Jagiellonian University is named after Brozek.Actions

While Sigmundus III Vasa was a complete dilettante in matters of warfare, his eldest son Vladislav IV Vasa proved to be a man of great military skills. Carefully educated, he distinguished himself during the war with the Ottoman Empire in 1620-21. Then he traveled to the Western Europe where he met some of Europe's famous commanders, including Spinola. After ascending onto Polish throne, Vladislav conducted many far-reaching military reforms. He reequipped artillery and infantry, increasing their firepower and Westernizing their drill and logistics. His new Polish army soon proved it effectiveness. It completely defeated the Russians in an excellent campaign during the Smolensk War (1633-4), made the Turks abandon their invasion plans (1634) and forced the Swedes to sign new, favorable truce (1635). Vladislavian army reforms prolonged Polish military supremacy in Central and Eastern Europe for 20 additional years.Actions

Johannes Hevelius (Polish: Jan Heweliusz) was born in 1611 to a Gdansk family of prominent brewing merchants of Czech origin. During his youth he studied abroad in Germany, England and France. After returning to his home city in 1634, he became a prominent figure in Gdansk as a magistrate and a successful businessman. However, his main interest was astronomy. Hevelius spent four years observing the Moon and created detailed maps of the lunar surface. He also discovered the Moon's libration in magnitude. Careful observations allowed Hevelius to discover many stars and seven new constellations. Among the latter is the Shield of Sobieski - Scutum Sobiescanum, known as Scutum, the only constellation named after a historical figure. Hevelius was also interested in comets and discovered four new comets in the years 1652, 1661, 1672 and 1677. His discoveries led him to assume that these objects circulate the Sun in parabolic tracks. Johannes Hevelius died in 1687. Among his students was a young Englishman named Edmund Halley.Actions

This was prompted, among other things, by complaints from the Ottomans and Crimean Tatars. On the night of August 3/4 of 1635 Ivan Sulima who was returning from the plunder expedition on the Black Sea attacked and captured the newly-formed Polish fortress Kudak. The Cossacks had murdered entire crew including the commander Jan Marion.

In 1641 the Polish Royal court was visited by the famous Italian scientist Tito Livio Burattini, who specialized in architecture, mining, physics, mechanics, hydraulics, metrology and engravings among other things. The Italian was warmly welcomed by the King and settled in Poland. It was his initiatives to build one of contemporary Europe's biggest observatories in Ujazdow castle (near Warsaw) and to construct an extremely complex hydraulic scale. He also proposed to replace all the countless European systems of length measures by one integral metric system. In February 1648 De Nuaire, secretary of Queen Ludwika Maria of Poland, wrote to the famous Parisian astronomer Marino Marsene that in Warsaw Burattini demonstrated 'a model of 4 or 5 foots in length, which with the help of flex placed under the tail, could rise to the air: the flex was moving a spring and a wheel placed inside. This model could rise a cat sitting in it.' Later De Nuaire wrote that the Italian constructed 'a flying ship', which could transport a man. Soon Europe was full of rumours that at the Polish court a 'flying dragoon' was invented, which could transport three men from Warsaw to Constantinople within 12 hours!Actions

Description
Daughter of Charles Gonzaga de Nevers and Catherine de Guise, Maria-Louisa was renamed Ludwika-Maria upon her marriage to Wladyslaw IV Vasa (1646) then her brother-in-law Jan II Kazimierz (1649). The Polish nobility were scandalized by their Queen-Consort's active role in Polish affairs. Regardless she proved instrumental in governing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the Deluge (1647-60). Ludwika-Maria also founded the first Polish newspaper 'Merkuriusz Polski' (1652) and a convent for the 'Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary' (1654).Actions

Description
Kazimierz Siemienowicz (1600-1651) was born in a poor noble family with military service traditions. After education he joined Polish army as a professional soldier and earned fame of an excellent engineer. In 1644 he moved to Netherlands to continue his studies and served in the army of duke of Orange. In 1646 King Wladyslaw recalled him to Poland and appointed as a high-rank officer in Royal Artillery Corps where he spent three years reforming Polish artillery and fortifications. Siemienowicz's main work was Artis Magnae Artilleriae, (The Complete Art of Artillery), which became main artillery manual throughout Europe for two centuries. In his book Siemienowicz revealed his revolutionary ideas on metallurgy, ballistics, gunpowder, fireballs and various pyrotechnic devices. Book contains also a chapter on rockets designed for both civil and military purposes including multistage rockets, rocket batteries and rockets with delta wing stabilizers. This makes Siemienowicz one of European pioneers of rocketry.Actions

Description
In the first half of the 17th century self-consciousness began to awaken among Ukrainians. The Union of the Churches of 1596, which outlawed the Orthodox, caused discontent among the peasants and most of the local nobility. Although the Orthodox Church was restored in 1632, attitudes toward it remained cool. The peasants were becoming strong, and the number of Cossacks increased. Those Cossacks who were not on the register wanted recognition of their rights. These factors led to numerous Cossack rebellions, the last of which occurred in 1638. From the proclamation of the 'Ordination of the Registered Zaporozhian Host' in 1638, which severely limited Cossack autonomy, came the era of 'golden peace'.In 1647 a Polish nobleman, Daniel Czaplinski, laid claim to the estate of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, a hundredth in a Cossack regiment. Czaplinski took over Khmelnytsky's estate, killed his son, and married the woman that the widowed Cossack intended to marry. Later Czaplinski accused Khmelnytsky of treason. Unable to prevail in court as well as looking at the connivance of the king, Khmelnytsky resolved to lead the Cossacks in revolt against the Poles. On January 25, 1648, Khmelnitsky reaches the Zaporizhian Sich, and at a Cossack council Khmelnitsky is elected hetman.

Description
The period 1648-1660 is colloquially called 'The Deluge' in historiography of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Bet by the devastating Khmelnitsky's uprising, invaded by simultaneously by the Crimean Tatars, Russians, Swedes, Brandenburgians and Siebenburgians, the country literally collapsed in 1655 and King Jan Kazimierz was forced to flee from his realm. However, in a surprising twist of fortune, the Commonwealth rose again like phoenix from ashes and managed to repel the invaders away from its borders. Yet, it never truly recovered. The demographic and economic results of 'The Deluge' were devastating. The country had lost one third of its population. What's more, the decade of wars completely ruined the Commonwealth and turned much of its population into poverty. The times of prosperity were finally gone. The stage for the magnate oligarchy was prepared.Actions

Description
Because of financial problems Poland was forced to find new sources of money to finance the army that was fighting its many foes Andrew Tynf, main commissary of the Polish mintssuggested a solution, namely minting the 'zloty' – a coin worth 30 groszes - with 60 percent less silver in it than in ordinary coins. The only compensation was the phrase engraved on the coins: Dat Pretium Servata Salus Potior Q3 Metallo Est ('The desire to save the Fatherland is larger than the price of metal'). The Sejm accepted this proposal.Actions

Description
Because of endless wars and economic decline the Polish treasury was often empty. In March 1659 the Sejm decided to support the King's initiative to mint two million zlotys in cheap copper solids worth only a third of their original value. New mints were opened in Brest, Kounia (Kaunas), Vilna, Malbork and Ujazdow to provide the state with this inflated money, the mints in Krakow, Oliwa and Bydgoszcz were also used for these purposes. The Italian scientist Tito Livio Burattini was soon appointed to execute this decision of the Sejm.Actions

Description
The political and economic disunity of the Szlachta and the deluge was the most important social factors behind the creation and implementation of the Liberum Veto in 1652. It was on one hand a guarantee that decisions where decided unanimously and on the other hand a safeguard for the personal freedom of the individual nobleman. However for Poland as a country it was disastrous and one among a half dozen reason for the demise of the country in 1795. One single NO vote in the Sejm could dissolve the Sejm and paralyze decision-making in the country. It was also used frequently in the lesser Sejms, the sejmiki, of which there were over 70 in Poland. The Magnates that had detronized the Executive Power had now also detronized the Legislative Power.Actions

Description
The Veto itself was merely the most obvious symptom of a political disease that went far deeper. The first veto was not repeated for seventeen years, the second not for another ten. Then it became endemic in parliamentary life. The right to cast a veto grew into fetish, particularly among the minor Szlachta who saw it as a symbol of their personal involvement in the Commonwealth, as well as the ultimate guarantee of their freedoms. That the King viewed it differently is obvious. One should know that policy-making in Poland was not frozen because of the power of the veto. The King had to create Grand Compromises to ensure an at least acceptable outcome. However, as the Polish society slowly lost its consensus it was harder and harder go reach a compromise. It was especially cumbersome when planning and scheming had been going on for many months and suddenly in the last minute of passing the proposal in the Sejm. Someone rose and threw a Veto...Actions

Description
Russian troops entered Poland in 1654. By the time when Bohdan Khmelnytsky died in 1657, many Cossack elders became dissatisfacted with results of the Pereiaslav Agreement. The Hadiach agreement was signed between representatives of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Cossacks (represented by Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky and the elders Yurii Nemyrych, architect of the treaty, and Pavlo Teteria). It was designed to elevate the Cossacks and Ruthenians to the position equal to that of Poland and Lithuania in the Union and in fact transforming the Commonwealth into a Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian Commonwealth. The territories of Hetmanate became the Grand Principality of Rus', retaining its own laws, a separate treasury and its own army under the Hetman. The Union of Brest was abolished, and the Orthodox was equalized in rights with the Catholics. The Polish Sejm approved the treaty substantially disparate, rejecting the articles about the principality of Rus' and the equality of the churches, which devalued the treaty for the Cossack elite as well.Actions

In September 1632 the Kiev Collegium was created according to the Jesuit model introduced by the Metropolitan of Kiev, Petro Mohyla. The Treaty of Hadiach granted the Kiev Collegium the status of an academy and equalized it in rights with the Jagiellonian University. In a short time it became the educational center of Eastern Europe. Almost all Hetmans of Ukraine, philosophers and artists, as well as many theologians studied at the academy, which was later named after Petro Mohyla.Actions

The Minor Reformed Church of Poland, better known today as the Polish Brethren was the most radical wing of the Reformation in Poland. The only basis for their philosophy was the Bible. Like the Arians, they didn’t recognize the dogma of the Trinity. The brothers recognize the principle of brotherhood of all people. In the initial period of activity they preached unconditional pacifismand and refusal of service to the State as a form of exaltation, they had community of goods and condemned the death penalty. By the act of parliament in 1658 they were sentenced to banishment from the country. The reason for the exile was a collaboration with the Swedes duringthe Swedish-Polish War (The Deluge) and their role in preparing a Treaty of Radnot (1656).Actions

Description
Our plans to centralize government of Poland failed. Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski the Field Crown Hetman and Great Crown Marshall who first fully supported our centralization plans and who was very close to the King and his beloved wife Ludwika Maria had changed his mind. He started to openly criticize centralization plans and it was mainly his responsibility that they were rejected during two Sejm gatherings which were broken by Lubomirski's supporters. He also started talks with our domestic enemies and with rulers of neighbouring countries. What should we do with him and with our reform plans?Actions

Description
Burattini executed his task soon, but the 'cheap money' gave quite unexpected result: almost all valuable silver coins in the country's economy were replaced with cheap solids and the treasury was soon empty again. On 23 February 1663 the Senatorial General commission decided to mint more cheap solids (on the sum of 5.250.000 zlotys) to cover the budget deficit. Soon more solids on the sum of 5.818.774 zlotys were ordered for minting in Oliwa and Danzig. The last task was executing by Andrew Georg Horn. It seemed no one thought about the consequences of such monetary policy.Actions

After spending some time abroad Lubomirski came back to Poland from his refuge. He immediately started to gather around him other members of aristocracy and Szlachta who also were against our centralization reforms. Lubomirski's military forces started to fight our troops and the domestic war started. Even some of people who remained on our side quietly agree with or even support Lubomirski and they don't really want to fight against him. It is of the highest importance that we defeat Lubomirski very fast so other rebels will not have enough time to join him and Lubomirski will not have enough time to promote his ideas.Actions

The minting of the cheap coins provoked a real paralysis of the Polish economy. The country was full of cheap inflatory cupper coins and almost no normal silver money. Trade and industry were destroyed. In this situation the creator of cheap '30 groszes' (which became known now after his name – tynf) understood that he could become responsible for his invention and fled to Germany, taking with him four million zlotys, which he underpaid to the state.Actions

In response Burattini answered with the counter-claim that he and his creditors received less than the one and a half million zlotys which had been promised. The lawsuit promised to be a long one.Actions

The cheap coins provoked a galloping inflation and destroyed the Polish economy.

The first option at last offered the possibility to start stabilize the economy, then to reopen them in time, minting normal money.Actions

Description
The 1669 royal election in Poland-Lithuania was called following the abdication of King John II Casimir, a generally unsuccessful ruler whose reign saw the nadir of Polish fortunes and the occupation of large swathes of the country by Swedish forces. After King John's wife died earlier in the year - their two children having died some years previously - he knew the Vasa dynasty had come to an end, and decided to leave Poland for France, where he intended to enter holy orders as a Jesuit monk. The election was marked by a contentious process and an unusual degree of deliberation on the selection of the new monarch, including the voiding of the illustrious Prince of Conde's candidature on the grounds of undue French influence. The election revealed the deep-seated divisions within the Commonwealth, exacerbated by political strife, religious tensions, and external interference by competing French and Habsburg factions. Finally, the powerful border magnate Michael Korybut Wisniowiecki was elected as king. His reign was marked by ongoing challenges, including the Khmelnytsky Uprising in Ukraine and the Russo-Polish War. The 1669 election highlighted the growing weaknesses in the Commonwealth's political structure and contributed to its eventual decline in the following centuries.Actions

Poland and the Ottoman Empire came into conflict in the 1670's and 80's when the Cossacks in the Polish part of the divided Ukraine submitted to the Ottoman Empire and called for Tatar aid against Poland. Victories won by hetman Jan Sobieski only temporarily forestalled the threat, and in 1672 the Commonwealth faced a major invasion by the Ottoman Empire. The fall of the key border fortress Kamieniec Podolski was followed by the humiliating Peace of Buczacz. In 1683 Sobieski led a relief army to a Vienna besieged by the Ottomans and as supreme commander of the allied forces won a resounding victory that marked the beginning of Ottoman withdrawal from Europe.Actions

When Jan Sobieski became King in 1672 he was already a renowned and glorified military leader. In fact he started out as a general an ended up as a King. His reform of the Polish army thus started long before he became King, but it was under his Royal leadership that the strong effects of the reforms made lasting impressions upon the map of history. The New Polish Army saved Vienna from the onslaught of the Ottomans and forever stopped their advance. Unfortunately in the long run it helped Austria more than it helped Poland.Actions

Description
On 12 September 1683 an allied army under the leadership of King Jan Sobieski relieved Vienna from the besieging Ottomans. At that moment the King's name flew over Europe. In that very moment Jan Sobieski had such status and personal power coming from his very person that he could had ended the stagnation of Poland or at least he could have tried. Merely the different political climate during the earlier days of his reign is a proof of him being a very special monarch. He was never that limited by vetoes or articles as earlier monarchs, but in the end he chose a different path. He chose to continue the campaign against the Ottoman, a campaign he could not win decisively, while at the same time having to cope with growing dissent from magnates disliking this policy. When he stopped campaigning he suffered heavily from gallstones and he never managed to make the magnates forget that he was just one of them. He never managed to translate his popularity in the Szlachta, as whole, into concerted political action. If he instead had gone home after relieving Vienna and picked a fight with the magnates something completely different might have happened. Well who knows...?Actions

Description
The Veto itself was merely the most obvious symptom of a political disease that went far deeper. The first veto was not repeated for seventeen years, the second not for another ten. Then it became endemic in parliamentary life. The right to cast a veto grew into fetish, particularly among the minor Szlachta who saw it as a symbol of their personal involvement in the Commonwealth, as well as the ultimate guarantee of their freedoms. That the King viewed it differently is obvious. One should know that policy-making in Poland was not frozen because of the power of the veto. The King had to create Grand Compromises to ensure an at least acceptable outcome. However, as the Polish society slowly lost its consensus it was harder and harder go reach a compromise. It was especially cumbersome when planning and scheming had been going on for many months and suddenly in the last minute of passing the proposal in the Sejm. Someone rose and threw a Veto... Then again, sometimes the proposal actually passed.Actions

Description
The 1674 royal election in Poland-Lithuania was called following the death of King Michael Korybut, and the election process reflected the stark cultural divisions inherent within the Commonwealth. The most popular candidate, John Sobieski, was loathed by the Lithuanian magnates, which therefore made him a strategically useful choice in the eyes of the leading Polish nobles, whose main goal was to undermine Lithuanian influence in government. As in the 1669 election, the Catholic Prince of Conde offered himself as a candidate, but was once again viewed with suspicion, and as a figure who would make the Commonwealth subservient to the interests of King Louis XIV. Ultimately, Sobieski, a distinguished Cossack general and Hetman, was elected as king. His reign would become one of the most notable in the Commonwealth's history, marked by his successful military campaigns and his pivotal role in the defence of Vienna during the Ottoman siege of 1683. Sobieski's election temporarily restored a degree of stability to the Commonwealth, but underlying tensions and conflicts would persist.Actions

European society of the time was closely tied together by faith, so any manifestation of atheism was severely suppressed. Kazimierz Lyszczynski was a middle-class nobleman who studied and later joined the Jesuit order. He soon left it to get married and return to his estate. There he proved himself as a warrior and a member of the Sejm. As it turned out, Lyszczynski had been secretly writing De non existentia Dei (On the Non-Existence of God) since 1674. It was the first Polish philosophical treatise to examine religion from the point of view of an atheist. Its existence became known when a debtor of Lyszczynski's pointed him out as an atheist. He was arrested and brought to a church court in Warsaw. As a result of a six-month trial by the Sejm Commission, Kazimierz Lyszczynski was initially sentenced to be burned at the stake, but the king changed it to beheading. The execution was carried out on March 30, 1689, before which the treatise was burned. After the execution, his body was taken outside the city walls and burned, and his ashes were shot from a cannon.Actions

Description
The 1690 royal election in Poland-Lithuania was called following the death of Queen Christina, the final member of the Vasa dynasty. A complex figure, Christina did not expect to inherit the throne of Poland-Lithuania following the death of her cousin John II Casimir, and her strict piety and high intellect made her difficult to interact with or second-guess. Having never married and little interest in statecraft, many said Christina should have waived her claim and joined holy orders rather than accept the Polish throne, but duty compelled she serve her people. With no heirs by blood or nomination, her death in 1689 led to a particularly raucous assembly of the szlachta, who could not agree on a compromise candidate beyond the fact that the next king should not be in hock to either France or the Habsburgs. Eventually, fearing general unrest should the Commonwealth remain leaderless, the Sejm agreed on the candidacy of the exiled James Stuart, a staunch Catholic with military experience and strong diplomatic ties in Europe, and that of Augustus 'the Strong' of House Wettin, son of the Elector of Saxony.Actions

Description
The Lithuanian Civil War was a conflict between the so-called Republicans, an alliance of the Wiњniowiecki, Radziwill, Pac, and Oginski magnate families, and the Sapiehas. The Republicans opposed the Sapiehas' dominant political position. By the end of the 17th century, the Sapiehas had accumulated key central offices in Lithuania: Jan Kazimierz Sapieha held the position of Lithuanian Great Hetman, Alexander Pawel Sapieha served as the Lithuanian Grand Marshal, and Benedict Sapieha was the Great Lithuanian Treasurer. With almost absolute power over Lithuania, the Sapieha family utilized the administrative apparatus for their own interests. They manipulated the judicial judgments in their favor, contributing to the decline of their competitors' fortunes. This led to opposition from the major magnate families who felt discriminated against. In 1697, the tensions escalated into a bloody civil war in the Lithuanian lands, with both sides mercilessly destroying the manors of their opponents.Actions

Description
In 1697, the 15 years old Charles XII ascended the Swedish throne. Seeing the opportunity, the Russian Czar Peter I allied with Denmark and Poland-Saxony in 1699. However, with British and Dutch naval assistance, Charles XII landed on Zealand and promptly defeated the Danes, then moved to Estland where his badly outnumbered Swedes (1 to 5) won a crushing victory over the Russians. Instead of finishing the Russians, Charles moved against August II of Poland-Saxony and drove him out of Poland in 1704 (having the pro-Swedish Stanislas Leszinski elected King), then subjugating Saxony in 1706. While the Russians started the construction of St-Petersburg (1703) and rebuilt their armies, they also took parts of Estland (1704-1706). Charles then decided to march to Moscow via the Ukraine where the Cossacks under Mazeppa had again risen in revolt (1708). The harsh winter and Russian raids decimated his army and he was finally beaten at the battle of Poltava in 1709. The wounded King escaped to the Ottomans. The Russians were encircled by the Ottomans on the Prut River, but Peter succeeded through bribery to obtain a safe conduct in exchange for Azov. While Charles was still exiled in Turkey, Russian, Danish, Hanoverian and even Prussian troops captured most of the Swedish territory around the Baltic. Having emerged from Turkish internment, Charles got killed in 1718 in front of the Norwegian fortress of Frederickshald. The peace treaties that followed Sweden lost most of her Baltic empire.Actions

Description
In 1697 Friedrich Augustus II became King of Poland. His reputation was never good. He was a German and because of his inabilities to win a war he himself had started he is considered a rather bad Polish King. However, when Friedrich Augustus became King he had a plan. He was not a stupid man, and he intended to turn the Commonwealth into a centralized monarchical state. He was a child of the same ideas as his contemporaries in Berlin, Hannover and Mьnchen, and he needed a war to accomplish it. Like Sobieski, he saw war as the surest way to gain prestige and a free hand to carry out his plan. Now Friedrich Augustus made certain mistakes. He and his allies underestimated the ease with which they would smash the eighteen year old monarch of Sweden and secondly Friedrich August was no Sobieskian General. The failure of the war and his lost prestige from being a lousy soldier and having been forced to a humiliating abdication omitted every chance to reform anything. Instead he ruined any chance for monarchism in Poland and his return was with the arrivals of Russian bayonets. However... had he won the war and Poland had been a winner while Russia had become rather mauled then his position would have been different. Instead of buying art for his castles in Dresden he might very well have used that prestige and military power with boldness and brute force to accomplish the impossible...Actions

Description
The Veto itself was merely the most obvious symptom of a political disease that went far deeper. The first veto was not repeated for seventeen years, the second not for another ten. Then it became endemic in parliamentary life. The right to cast a veto grew into fetish, particularly among the minor Szlachta who saw it as a symbol of their personal involvement in the Commonwealth, as well as the ultimate guarantee of their freedoms. That the King viewed it differently is obvious. One should know that policy-making in Poland was not frozen because of the power of the veto. The King had to create Grand Compromises to ensure an at least acceptable outcome. However, as the Polish society slowly lost its consensus it was harder and harder go reach a compromise. It was especially cumbersome when planning and scheming had been going on for many months and suddenly in the last minute of passing the proposal in the Sejm. Someone rose and threw a Veto...Actions

Action A, B, D of 258145 - The Silent Sejm for Poland
Description
With the return of Frederick Augustus II, the nobility's unease returned. The king was aware of the need for reform, so in Saxony he discussed with his ministers the changes that should be made to improve its functioning. They included an attempt to introduce an absolute hereditary monarchy and the abolition of the freedoms of the nobility. The dangerous situation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forced Augustus II to invite Saxon troops, whose maintenance was entrusted to the nobility. On 26 November 1715, a general confederation was established in Tarnograd, which was dissatisfied with the tendencies of the Saxon king. The better organisation of the royal forces allowed them to defeat the confederates. From then on, the king's council began to create a programme of reforms in the Commonwealth. On 1 February 1717, Augustus II came to the convened Sejm only to dissolve it and take full control of the country. His intentions were comprehensive and radical. An absolute hereditary monarchy of the Wettins was established, who ruled Poland and Saxony simultaneously. Saxon officials were stationed in Warsaw and Saxon troops were arranged. The Golden Liberties, the liberum veto, the pacta conventa, and the Sejmiks all fell into oblivion. Financial, military, religious and social reforms were carried out that affected life. And at the head of it was the king, the guardian of the Commonwealth.Actions

Description
With the return of Augustus II, the nobility's unease returned. The king was aware of the need for reform, so in Saxony he discussed with his ministers the changes that should be made to improve its functioning. They included an attempt to introduce an absolute hereditary monarchy and the abolition of the freedoms of the nobility. The dangerous situation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forced Augustus II to invite Saxon troops, whose maintenance was entrusted to the nobility. On 26 November 1715, a general confederation was formed in Tarnograd, which was dissatisfied with the tendencies of the Saxon king. The conflict lasted for a year, which Russia took advantage of. Only the intervention of Russian troops broke the intransigence of the parties. The treaty was accepted by both the king and the confederates, and its approval was to take place at the Sejm, convened on 1 February 1717. Fearing the possibility of someone's veto disrupting the session or attempts to make any changes to the agreement, both deputies and senators were deprived of the opportunity to speak. The Sejm's decisions introduced a number of changes related to state, fiscal and military-religious issues. Poland and Saxony were bound by a personal union, and the presence of the king and the Saxons was limited. The ruler was forbidden to bring Saxon troops into the territory of the Commonwealth and to launch an offensive war. The 'Golden Freedoms' and 'neminem captivabimus' law were confirmed. The army began to be supported by taxes, its size was 24 thousand soldiers (3/4 from the Crown and 1/4 from Lithuania), which improved its quality. Military reforms laid the foundations for an officer corps and a regular regimental system. The role of hetmans was limited. The financial reform initiated the budgeting of state revenues and expenditures. The Russian Tsar Peter I was considered the guarantor of the adopted resolutions. The decisions of the Silent Sejm introduced internal reforms that would have worked in peace. However, the preservation of the primacy of the gentry and foreign intervention to prevent changes in the governance of the Commonwealth led to a series of crises that destroyed the country.Actions

Description
The Swedish atrocities against Catholics during the Deluge left a deep mark. While Poland consolidated itself as a Catholic nation, the participation of Protestants was unremarkable. In 1668, the Sejm strictly forbade deviation from the Catholic faith, under penalty of death. In 1673 - deprived non-Catholics of the right to receive noble dignity. In 1717 - forbade Protestants to restore their churches and liquidate those built during the war. In 1724, the non-Christians lost the right to be elected to the Sejm, tribunals and to hold position in the local governments. In 1734 Protestants were excluded from the Sejm. All these restrictions were combined in the resolution of the Sejm of the previous year.Actions

Description
On July 16, 1724, a group of Protestant gymnasium students watched the procession in honor of the Virgin Mary. They did not take off their hats and did not kneel, which angered the student of the Jesuit college named Stanislaw Lisiecki. When the latter tried to force the Lutherans to respect Catholic symbols, a fight broke out. In the evening of the same evening another fight broke out. The city guard intervened and Lisiecki was arrested. While the Catholics were trying to free him, there were rumors about the kidnapping of a student of the academic gymnasium. A crowd of Protestants broke into the Jesuit collegium, destroyed the building and desecrated holy images. Order was restored with the arrival of the army. The news of this had a strong impact on the nobility, and the king sought to use it to divert attention from the problems of the state. Indignation arose among Catholics, who demanded the most severe punishment. Finally, on November 16, a sentence was passed, according to which the mayor Johann Gottfried Rosner, the vice-mayor and 11 citizens were sentenced to death. The Lutherans also had to pay compensation to the Jesuits and Catholics of Thorn. This event caused condemnation of Protestant countries, especially Prussia.Actions

The death of the last Duke of Kurland, Frederick William, in 1711, left no heirs to the Duchy except the weak and ill Ferdinand, and a lot of contenders in Russia and Poland. In 1726, the Polish Sejm managed to impose Maurice of Saxony, the bastard son of the current Polish King, as Duke, but only to change her mind and ask his withdrawal. At the same time, Russia was pushing for her own candidate, the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, son-in-law of the Czarina Catherine I. After much bribing, negotiation and behind the scene diplomacy, Maurice was summoned to either leave or suffer war. It started in 1727, with Russia firmly committed and sending 8,000 troops to conquer the Duchy within 8 days. The war did not last long enough to embrace all of Europe and Maurice fled to France where he then had a brilliant military career.Actions

Description
The Veto itself was merely the most obvious symptom of a political disease that went far deeper. The first veto was not repeated for seventeen years, the second not for another ten. Then it became endemic in parliamentary life. The right to cast a veto grew into fetish, particularly among the minor Szlachta who saw it as a symbol of their personal involvement in the Commonwealth, as well as the ultimate guarantee of their freedoms. That the King viewed it differently is obvious. One should know that policy-making in Poland was not frozen because of the power of the veto. The King had to create Grand Compromises to ensure an at least acceptable outcome. However, as the Polish society slowly lost its consensus it was harder and harder go reach a compromise. It was especially cumbersome when planning and scheming had been going on for many months and suddenly in the last minute of passing the proposal in the Sejm. Someone rose and threw a Veto...Actions

Description
In 1733, the death of August II prompted a new election for the Polish monarch. Due to the permanent practice of Liberum Veto and the ensuing constant bribery, the Polish Sejm was unable to agree between the French Candidate, Stanislaw Leszczynski and his opponent, August III of Saxony, supported by Austria and Russia. The Sejm finally agreed on Stanislas, but this was rejected by Austria and Russia starting the war of Polish Succession. The war ended with August III on the Polish throne.Actions

Description
Stanislaw (Hieronim) Konarski was born into a noble family with a long tradition of writing. He studied at the school of public relations, first in Piotrkow, then in Rome. While studying abroad, he felt a significant difference between education there and Polish education, and set out to found a school for the nobility with an innovative approach to education. Such an institution became Collegium Nobilium (Noble College), opened in 1740. For the first time mathematics, physics, economics, law, foreign languages were taught in Polish secondary education. In 1754, having gone to the Pope, Konarski got him to reform the Piarist colleges, which were mainly based on the postulates of the reformers. Among other things, Konarski was a political writer. In 1732-1739 he compiled Volumina Legum - a collection of Polish laws and constitutions adopted until 1736. His work includes the treatise O skutecznym rad sposobie (On an effective way of councils) criticizing the political model of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of that time.Actions

Szymon Czechowicz was a prominent Polish painter of the Baroque period, known for his portraits and sacred paintings. He found his inspiration in Rome, where he stayed for two decades. In 1732, he arrived in Warsaw, where he established his studio. Czechowicz became an artist beyond competition in Poland, painting for the richest magnates. He later began painting biblical themes for the local Benedictine, Visitation and Jesuit churches. His work stands out for its impeccability and technical efficiency - everything is clearly calibrated and rich. He established his own school of painting which would have a fundamental influence on Polish art.Actions

Description
Stanislaw Poniatowski was a refined man and second son to the great General Poniatowski of the early 18th century. Stanislaw was a man of the enlightenment and early became interested in politics and diplomacy touring London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Paris and last St: Petersburg. There he was readily introduced to Tsaritsa Catherine the Great and became her lover. In 1764 when Poland needed a King, Catherine suggested her now ex-lover Stanislaw Poniatowski. That was a bad choice for Russia and a rather good one for Poland. Stanislaw knew the ways of Russian political mind and he was not subservient to the wishes of Moscow. However, the degeneration of Poland had gone so far that immediate reforms where necessary to stay independent, but on the other hand such reform most likely would draw attention in Moscow, Vienna and Berlin and it did.

Description
After the ascending of Stanislaw Poniatowski on the Polish throne a feverish wave of reforms took place. In 1766 Chancellor Zamoyski laid before the Sejm his project for constitutional reform which included the abolition of the Liberum Veto. This elicited an immediate response from St Petersburg and Berlin, both of which threatened with war if it were not withdrawn and if the Confederated Sejm was not immediately dissolved. The King and his supporters had little to do but comply trapped in Warszawa as they were. But people started to wake up from their 'Saxon slumber' and the Confederates refused to comply. At the same time some magnates wanted to get rid of the upstart Stanislaw and united with Russian forces under the young general Suvorov they fought and destroyed the Confederated troops.Actions

School of Chivalry, also known as Nobles' Academy of the Corps of Cadets, was established on 15 March 1765 in Warsaw by King Stanislaw II, maintained by the state treasury. It was located in the Kazimierz Palace. The school, which to some extent was an equivalent of Prussian knightly schools founded by Frederick II and contemporary administrative schools, was intended for poorer young people of noble provenance, and its task was to prepare young people for military service and civil public tasks. The teaching staff consisted of both officers teaching military subjects and professors teaching subjects such as economics, law, history, geography and languages. For 30 years, the school has educated 650 graduates, one of whom was Tadeusz Kosciuszko.Actions

Description
The arrogant attitude of the gentry towards the peasants, serfdom, and unbearable conditions were the companions of the Polish peasantry in the 18th century. Their protest moods were set out in a proclamation discovered in 1767 after the Torczyn Fair. The anonymous author demanded the abolition of personal dependence as a violence against the natural equality of people, the granting of certain rights to peasants, and the reduction of serfdom to three days a week. The "Manifesto" also insisted on the need to allow peasants to participate in self-government bodies and military service. In case of non-compliance, it threatened a deadly struggle against the exploiters and reminded of the times of the Cossack uprisings. The document was addressed to the ruling circles, the landowners, as a last warning, and to the peasantry as a call to a determined struggle to improve their lot.Actions

Description
The intentions of the Polish king to become more independent from foreign influence worried Russia. Catherine of Russia took advantage of the dissidents' cause as a pretext for pressure. In 1767, through the efforts of the tsar's ambassador Nikolai Repnin and under the cover of Russian troops, the Orthodox Slutsk and Protestant Torun confederations, as well as the anti-reform Radom confederation, were created. They were united by a common goal - equal rights for all religions. The issue was discussed at the Extraordinary Sejm, which was held under Russian control. Under duress, the decision was made. Cardinal Laws confirmed the main provisions of the Henrykian Articles of 1573, and also preserved the political rights of the nobility. Their approval strengthened Russia's influence on Polish affairs, which led to the establishment of a protectorate.Actions

Description
After Khmelnytsky's uprising, the Haidamaks appeared on the right bank of Ukraine. This was a broad Cossack and peasant movement against noble oppression. Having provoked several uprisings in the 18th century, it reached its greatest scale in 1768. It was then that the events of the Koliszczyzna took place in parallel with the Bar Confederation. The uprising was led by Maksym Zalizniak and Ivan Honta. The uprisings covered a large part of the Right Bank and were accompanied by massacres of Jews, Catholics, and Uniates. Initially supported by Russia, they eventually provided military assistance to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which suppressed the Koliszczyzna.Actions

They need to be dealt with as soon as possible. On the other hand, we can support the confederation to throw off the Russian yoke. Of course, if we have confidence.Actions

Description
The tendencies of the European Enlightenment came to Poland during the reign of Stanislaw II. The peculiarity of these ideas in Poland was the struggle against the ""golden noble liberties"", support for centralization and defense of the state. The literature was dominated by enlightened classicism, which addressed everyday life. Prominent poets of the time were Ignacy Krasicki, Julian Niemcewicz, Adam Naruszewicz. There were Italians in Warsaw: painter Bernardo Bellotto and portraitist Marcello Bacciarelli. The capital itself was under active construction. Re-equipped streets and luxurious houses brought Warsaw closer to Western European cities. The magazines Monitor and Zabawy Przyjemne i Pozyteczne were published. The king was a patron of the arts, was involved in the creation of the national theater, Szkola Rycerska, etc. It was he who organized Thursday dinners with poets, historians and scientists, where the problems of literature and state formation were discussed.Actions

Description
In 1773 the Jesuits controlled three quarters of the schools in Poland. The system they created functioned quite well, although it was characterized by a certain conservatism and religious intolerance. The Pope's decision to dissolve the societies caused uncertainty in the field of education. On October 15, 1773, the Sejm appointed the Commission of Public Education, which received most of the former Jesuit property. During its work, a three-level educational system was created in Poland, the curriculum was updated, education in the Polish language was introduced, etc. The Society of Elementary Books founded at the Commission was engaged in the creation of textbooks in Polish. Among other outstanding achievements was the professional development of teachers. The Commission existed for two decades. Being the first ministry of education in Europe, the Commission succeeded in raising the level of education of Poles, as well as their patriotic and civic education.Actions

Description
The Permanent Council under the King can be considered the first legislative body in Europe. In addition to the ruler, it consisted of 18 senators and 18 deputies of the Sejm, every two years two-thirds of the composition changed. The Council was divided into five departments: foreign affairs, police (or good order), army, justice and treasure. The body monitored the implementation of the Sejm's resolutions, introduced its own laws to the Sejm, proposed candidates for vacant seats to the queen. Its creation contributed to the economic development of Poland. However, civil society considered the Council dependent on Russian influence, and the body was derisively called Zdrada Nieustajaca - Permanent Betrayal.Actions

Description
When Stanislaw August became king, the Polish army was repeatedly inferior in both quantity and quality. Recent uprisings had deepened its disorganization and weakness, so the need for reform was vital. By the decision of the Sejm of 1773, the army was divided into six divisions with a total strength of 30,000. Hussar and armored banners were replaced by brigades of national cavalry. Permanent salaries and strict disciplinary regulations were introduced. In reality, the reforms were carried out superficially, and no more than 20,000 soldiers served in the army. The situation would improve only in the 1790s.Actions

In 1776, the Sejm commissioned a reformist and former chancellor, Grand Chancellor Andrzej Zamoyski, to draft a code of procedural, civil and criminal law. The draft contained substantial plans for changes in the social order. Reforms were proposed for cities, which promoted the development of industry and trade, and brought citizens closer to the gentry. On the peasant question, it proposed to free peasants from serfdom, with whom the courts were to enter into lease agreements. The draft also allowed for mixed marriages. The draft was met with hostility by the nobility, who saw it as a manifestation of the authoritarian tendencies of those in power. The Catholic Church also had a negative attitude.Actions

After the loss of territories, trade in the Baltic Sea became unprofitable. Polish merchants and magnates were forced to look for a new way to trade agricultural products with French and Italian ports. Fortunately, there are Black Sea ports that are managed by Kompania Handlowa Polska (Polish Trade Company). Polish-flagged ships sailed to Marseille, Alexandria, Barcelona and Bayonne. The company enjoyed strong support from the king. Its activities were accompanied by many risks, but the most significant was a possible war with the Turks.Actions

Description
In 1787 King Stanislaw approached Catherine of Russia with a bargain. Poland will raise a substantial army and support Russia in her war with the Ottomans, and make flanking maneuvers against potential attacks from Prussia or Sweden. The move was smart as it would mean that the King would have an army that could defend the country from enemies abroad and within, but Catherine did not buy it. She preferred having Poland as a piece of no-mans-land in between her and the Holy Roman Empire. As this failed the King stood without a plan and a decent foreign policy. The next year members of the so-called 'Patriotic Party' took matters in their own hands in the Great Sejm. It voted an increase of the army and vested control over it in a Sejm Commission. It placed the conduct of foreign policy in the hands of another Sejm Commission. It also abolished the Permanent Council that had governed the country since 1772 and imposed tax on incomes from lands, 10 percent for the Szlachta and 20 percent for the Church.In 1791 the King arrived from his isolation since the failure with Catherine and together with Ignacy Potocki and Hugo Kollataj he drafted the New Constitution. This became the first written Constitution in Europe and a satisfactory compromise between the republicanism of Potocki, the radicalism of Kollataj and the monarchism of the King. The Commonwealth became a constitutional hereditary monarchy that preserved the federal order. The Sejm had to convene every two years, decisions were made by majority, and the liberum veto was abolished. The Guardians of the Laws became a new body of executive power, consisting of the king, his primate, and five ministers appointed by the king, who could be defeated by motion of no confidence. Political rights were granted to those whose property value was more than 100 zlotys of annual income. The Catholic faith was proclaimed dominant, but freedom of conscience was proclaimed. Catherine the Great reacted again, arguing that it was dangerous to leave Poland as a revolutionary hotbed in Europe. She decided to use the discontent of the nobles who were deprived of their privileges.

Description
The new constitution abolished cardinal laws, depriving the magnates of influence. They felt contempt for the arbitrariness of the king, who unilaterally broke the contract with the nobility. This, in their opinion, questioned the right of King Stanislaw to the throne. On April 27th 1792, the Act of General Confederation was signed in St. Petersburg, which abolished the resolutions of the Great Sejm and restored the old cardinal laws. The confederation against Stanislaw was proclaimed later, in Targowica, which was located on the border with Russian possessions. As circumstances went against Poland peace was signed between the Ottomans and Russia and 89000 seasoned veterans now stood against the 37000 staunchly heroic, but no less, newly recruited Poles. Faced with the offensive of the Russian army, on July 23 of 1792, the king announced to the ministers his intention to stop fighting and join the Confederation.Actions

Description
The dismemberment of Poland, which took place under the slogans of restoring the old order and establishing dependence on Russia, could not cause anything other than popular indignation. It was a disaster that broke economic and human ties. The Russian embassy dictated legislation and tried to control pro-patriotic organizations through the secret police. Planning of national liberation resistance was on the agenda. The 'Patriots' advocated for the restoration of the constitution on May 3. They made an attempt to enlist the support of revolutionary France, and Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a statesman and military engineer, famous for his participation in the American Revolutionary War, was sent to negotiate. There, in January 1793, he laid out a program of social reform in Poland. But the negotiations ended unsuccessfully, and it became clear that the Poles could rely only on their own forces.In February 1794, at the insistence of the Russian ambassador in Warsaw, the revived Permanent Council decided to halve the Polish army and recruit soldiers to the Russian and Prussian armies. On March 12, 1794, cavalry commander Antoni Madalinski refused to reduce his unit and led 1200 cavalrymen along the Prussian border to Krakow. On March 23, Kosciuszko arrived there, where the next day he proclaimed an insurgent manifesto. On April 17-18, Warsaw residents defeated a strong Russian garrison and liberated the capital. Power in the city passed to the Provisional Deputy Council, which in May was replaced by the Supreme National Council. During 1794 the uprising covered most of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as well as Pomerania and Kuyavia. During the uprising, more than 140,000 people were involved in the regular army, and more than 100,000 in the Polish militia. But Russia had a 400,000 army, not to mention Prussia and Austria. This uprising is the last chance to save the Commonwealth.

The armistice was adopted, and the Rzeczpospolita proved the right to life. The National Assembly was assembled in Warsaw and proclaimed Poland a republic. A new constitution was adopted there, based on the one of 1791 but inspired by French and American achievements. Subsequently, the state, headed by Tadeusz Kosciuszko, the main architect of the Polish victory, embarked on large-scale reforms.Actions

After Thirteen Years War, Teutonic Order lost Eastern Pomerania with Gdansk (Danzig), so-called Royal Prussia with former capital of Teutonic Order Malbork (Marienburg) and became vassal of Polish crown. However some Grandmasters tried to revise terms of peace treaty, also by military confrontation with Poland. Grandmaster Albrecht Hohenzollern declared war against Poland in 1519. In 1521 four year amistice between Poland and Teutonic Order has been signed. In 1525 during the religious turmoil of the Reformation one of the early converters to the new religion was Albrecht of Hohenzollern. Inspired by Luther he also decides to secularize the Prussia into a protestant duchy. Now Emperor, German princes and Pope are furious with Albrecht Hohenzollern who still defies our rule. In this situation we may safely proceed to reclaim lands of the former Teutonic Order.Actions

Action A of 271020 - Alexander becomes King of Poland for RussiaDescription
In the Congress of Vienna, Poland again was the victim of the victorious powers appetite. As most Poles had been staunch supporters of the French to the very end - only a group of Polish nobles around Prince Adam Czartoryski had accepted the Czar as Poland's lord - they were not represented on the Congress.

The strong separatist tendencies of the Lithuanian nobility were shown again in 1526-1529. The magnates of the Council of Nobles, which practically ruled the Grand Duchy, supported by the great number of the nobility, addressed the monarch with the request to return the Royal Crown of Vytautas taken by the Poles in 1430 and to allow his son Prince Sigismund August to be crowned as the Lithuanian King. Sigismund the Old was positive to transfer the formal authority in Lithuania to his son and allowed him to be crowned but only as the Grand Duke. This was a price paid to please the Polish nobility who for sure would not meet the creation of the Lithuanian kingdom positively. Two months later Sigismund August was also formally elected to the Polish throne.Actions

Description
In 1569 discussions had been held and it was evident that many magnates wanted the joint force of Lithuanian and Polish Magnates as well as the Sejms of these countries to met at Lublin on the border of their realms and unanimously swear a new Act of Union. There now existed one united Sejm convening in Warszawa and the country would have one King not only de facto but de jure. The Grand Duchy was to keep its old laws, a separate treasury and its own army under its own Grand Hetman and Field-Hetman. Effectively the Union would be a marriage of two partners, with only the slightest hint of the dominant position of Poland. However there was some Lithuanian opposition before 1st July...Mikolaj the Black, the head of the mighty Radziwill family had long dreamed to of detaching the Grand Duchy from the domination and recreate a Lithuania with him as King. The first steps were taken in the 1540's when Mikolaj approached the Habsburg Emperor who was very interested in seeing a weakened Poland on her borders. This lead to Mikolaj receiving the title Prince of the Holy Roman Empire in 1547. In April 1569 Mikolaj had bribed and prodded his fellow magnates into following his plan. The lower Lithuanian Szlachta was considered immature and voted as their magnates did. So on 1st July the meeting took place in Lublin, but the Lithuanian Szlachta unanimously detested any attempt to create a Union. At the same time Mikolaj let himself be crowned King of Lithuania in Vilna and announced that if Poland did not accept that Lithuania went her own way then Lithuania would realize a Military Alliance with the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.Actions

Description
The Czech priest and professor Jan Hus developed radical reformatory demands on the base of the teachings of John Wyclif. Despite a guarantee of safe-conduct by Emperor Sigismund, he was executed at the stake for heresy at the Council of Constance in 1415. This could however not stop the Hussite movement in Bohemia. Hus' followers were rapidly growing, and when King Vaclav IV of Bohemia died and his brother Sigismund, already Emperor and King of Hungary was to succeed him, they, unwilling to forgive him the betrayal of Hus and afraid that he would suppress them, refused to acknowledge him and gained control of most of Bohemia proper - while the lands of the Bohemian crown and the catholic part of Bohemia accepted Sigismund. Due to its radical anti-clerical and anti-feudal tendencies Hussitism posed a big threat to the church and nobility in the countries adjacent to Bohemia. Several German and European princes therefore decided to oppose the Hussites and to support Sigismund in his struggle with them that lasted for almost two decades. Should we decide to fight these heretics, we should be aware that this would be internationally regarded as an intervention in favour of Sigismund as rightful King of Bohemia rather than a war of conquest, and that therefore, if Sigismund prevails and manages to restore royal authority, we would be expected to turn over any conquests in Bohemia to the Kingdom of Bohemia.Actions

The endless struggle between Lithuania and the Teutonic Order continued for about two centuries when on July 15, 1410 at the Battle of Grunwald (Tannenberg) the united Polish-Lithuanian army crushed the Teutonic knights. Since then the power of the Order was constantly declining. 1 February 1411 the Peace of Torun, as one of the gains of this great victory, was ratified. Lithuania received the formal control over Samogitia and the Order relinquished its claims until the death of King Jagiello and Grand Duke Vytautas. However, Vytautas did not leave his attempts to achieve full sovereign rights over Samogitia, and in early 1420s started active diplomatic correspondence with Emperor Sigismund and other European monarchs to prove his claims on the Duchy of Samogitia. Soon the new phase of negotiations started and resulted in the Treaty of Melno signed on September 27, 1422. The Teutonic Order recognized the sovereign rights of the Lithuanian Crown on Samogitia, while Lithuania renounced its claims on Memel (Klaipeda) and all territories of the Neman River mouth (Lithuanian Minor). Lithuania also received the port of Palanga and a narrow strip of land, separating the Teutonic and Livonian orders.Actions

Action A of 263020 - Hohenzollern Prussia become Polish Duchy for PrussiaDescription
In 1525 during the religious turmoil of the Reformation one of the early converters to the new religion was the Teutonic Orders' Grandmaster from Brandenburg, Albrecht of Hohenzollern. Inspired by Luther he also decides to secularize the land areas under his control, Prussia, into a protestant duchy. However, knowing that this would earn him the eternal enmity of his former Order he had to go for help with its greatest enemy, Poland-Lithuania. Thus he managed to pull through, but at the price of becoming a Polish Vassal.Actions

Action A of 188125 - Death of Janos Corvinus for Hungary
Description
Mathias Corvinus of Hungary died in 1490. It had been his explicit wish to let his illegitimate son Janos succeed him, however when Corvinus was dead, the young, inexperienced Janos was soon deprived of his rights and his property by the Hungarian magnates who were fed up with the strong central rule introduced by Mathias and desired a monarch 'whose beard they could hold in their fists'. Such a candidate was found in Vladislav Jagiello, King of Bohemia since 1471. Called 'King All Right' by his Bohemian subjects because of his weakness, irresoluteness and saying yes to everything, obviously completely incompetent for ruling a Kingdom and having already initiated a rapid decline of Bohemia, he was the easily controllable puppet King the magnates were looking for. Vladislav was elected King on July 5th 1490. Like Bohemia, Hungary came thus under Polish domination.Actions
