(WitN Part 15) The Commonwealth in Crisis

from The Drunken Scholar · host Devan Claeys

In this episode we discuss Poland's failing fiscal policy, internal corruption, the death of Wladyslaw IV, and the start of the great Cossack uprising of 1648. These events will start a period known as "The Deluge" in polish history. These events as well as ones that will soon occur would bring devastation so unimaginable that it would take centuries for the Polish people to recover. It is the beginning of the end for the Commonwealth.
