| What role did the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth play in the political and military history of Eastern Europe? This book explores the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest and most powerful states in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. It examines the union between Poland and Lithuania, which created a multi-ethnic and religiously diverse state that was both a political and military force in Eastern Europe. The narrative discusses the political system of the Commonwealth, including its elective monarchy, the role of the nobility, and the challenges faced by the state from external powers such as Russia, Prussia, and Austria. By analyzing the decline of the Commonwealth and its eventual partition, the book reveals the complex legacy of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in shaping the region’s history, politics, and culture. |
