TheTreaty of Zborivwas signed on August 18, 1649,[1]after theBattle of Zborivwhen theCrownforces of about 25,000, led by KingJohn II Casimir of Poland,clashed against a combined force ofCossacksandCrimean Tatars,led by HetmanBohdan Khmelnytskyand Khanİslâm III Girayof 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]
