![]() ![]() ![]() At the time he didn't know that one day he will be a king. When Michał Korybut was king, Sobieski did everything to oppose him, conspire and created mess. 1683 -> Battle of Vienna, and Battle of PárkányĪlthough Sobieski was good commander, he also wasn't the best in foreign politics and very bad in internal politics.1674 -> Sobieski is elected to be King of Poland.1672–1676 - war with Turkey, Podolia is lost.1668 -> Jan II Kazimierz abdicates, Michał Korybut, son of a great leader Jeremi Wiśniowiecki, is elected a King.1667-1671 - conflict with Cossacks and Tartars.1667 -> War with Russians ends, armistice leaves Rzeczpospolita without Kijów (Kiev) and Left Bank Ukraine.1666 -> Home war between supporters of the king Jan II Kazimierz and his opponents under Lubomirski, the latter wins.1657 -> Rzeczpospolita cedes Prussia to Brandenburg and the latter switches sides, Transylvanians are smashed, Russians hold their advance and wait, Austria sends help.1655 -> Swedes attack and pillage western part of the country, Transylvanians and Brandenburgians jump in, Partitioning is Planned (see Treaty of Radnot).1654 -> Russians attack and in a year thy burn Wilno (Vilnus), most of GDL is occupied at this point.1648 -> Cossack rebellion starts, Tartars jump in (they try to balance the forces).There ware also tries to ally with France, but she is to far away and has different goals than Poland. The greatest losses in this period were inflicted by Cossacks at Batoh where they won and massacred prisoners of war, elite corps of professional soldiers.Īlso, one can pose a question: who were the allies of Rzeczpospolita? The answer is that most of the time she had one: Austria -> most of the Queens came from there. Russians also pillaged greatly what is now modern Belarus. Maybe more than 1/3 of the population were killed. Some historians estimate that Swedes were more brutal than the Nazi Germans. Why would the Polish King decided to aid Austria? Didn't he fear the Swedish menacing from the north while the Polish main force was in Vienna?Īnd finally a token of gratitude for those who answers my question: Īs for the first question.What happen in between these 30 years? Was there a peace treaty signed allowing the Polish to recover to its former glory or were there just constant harassments from the Swedish?.Did the Polish army suffer heavy casualty during their war with the Swedish and Russian during the Deluge? Or was it only civilians' life being lost?.Here are a few question I would like to raise: If my understanding is right, Poland suffer greatly from the raid from the Swedish around 1655 and it marks the demise of the commonwealth, yet somehow the Polish is still able to mobilize a large enough army to relief the siege of Vienna in 1683.
