The Treaty of Zboriv was signed on August 18, 1649,[1] after the Battle of Zboriv when the Crown forces of about 25,000, led by King John II Casimir of Poland, clashed against a combined force of Cossacks and Crimean Tatars, led by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Khan İslâm III Giray of Crimea respectively, which numbered about 80,000.

The Treaty of Zboriv consisted of two separate agreements between Ukraine and the Commonwealth and between Crimea and the Commonwealth.[2]

The Treaty of Zboriv plays an important role in history of Ukraine as it turned the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth former mutineers into citizens of a new political community.[3][4]
