Entre a pena e a espada: a Revolta de Khmelnitsky, guerra e diplomacia na república das duas nações (1648-1654)

Abstract

The Cossack Uprising of 1648 began as a result of tensions arising from social discontent and resentment towards the authorities of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It demonstrates the complexity and diversity of relations and interactions within this vast territory. The attempt by the state to suppress this mobilization by militarily means, resulted in an even greater uprising of the discontented masses, thus marking a series of conflicts, initially local, which later involved states in the region. This research analyzes Pierre Chevalier's account, which shows the logistical and diplomatic aspects of the clashes, as well as the dispute for power, influence and domination of the area known as Ukraine.
