Treaty of Zboriv
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Zboriv was signed on August 17, 1649 after the Polish army was defeated in the Battle of Zboriv by the Cossacks, led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky.
The treaty placed three provinces of Ukraine under complete control of the Cossacks; the Orthodox Church was granted privileges, and the Crimean Khanate was to be paid a large sum of money. Hostilities resumed when the Sejm refused to recognise the provisions of the treaty.
