The Commonwealth – a state which was formed in the sixteenth century in Eastern Europe. The new power has entered the Grand Duchy of Lithuania with their lands (a true Lithuanian and attached), and Poland with the same lands. The state existed for about two centuries until aggressive Austria-Hungary and Russia had not divided the lands of the Commonwealth. The first partition of Poland marked the beginning of the end of the great country that had the brightest pages of its history.
So, merging the two countries was evident even from the end of the fourteenth century. Then in order to defend against the Teutonic order, Poland and Lithuania established a temporary military-political Alliance to repel the enemy. The Union was officially bonded mediastinum marriage between the Lithuanian Jagiello and the Polish Jadwiga. The ruling dynasty intermarried, thus United and power. But as we know, there is nothing more permanent than temporary, so this military-political Alliance continued to exist peacefully under the leadership of the first representative of the Lithuanian dynasty, and then – Polish. Subsequently, at the helm more were poles, who in fact usurped power in the state.
This convergence contributed to the close way of life of the poles and the Lithuanians. These two Nations had a lot in common, despite fundamental differences, for example in the faith. However, just over one hundred years this Union remained fairly stable.
The formal education of the Commonwealth occurred only fifty years later, in 1569. For this Association fought both sides, especially the Lithuanians, who sought to obtain equal rights with the Polish gentry. In turn, the poles have long had their eye on the Ukrainian fertile land, much of which was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

The Commonwealth was created at the Lublin Sejm, which gathered delegates from the two countries. The Polish Sejm explicitly defended the idea of full inclusion in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Lithuanian lands. On the part of Lithuanians there were proposals on the conclusion of an equilateral Union. Lublin Sejm was marred by multiple insinuations of the poles. The Lithuanians even had to leave the negotiations to defuse the situation and buy time. During one of these absences Poland illegally included in its membership almost all Ukrainian lands. Naturally, the Lithuanian side could not tolerate such antics from the poles, so the Lithuanians have not once insisted on mutually beneficial terms, and not unilateral, as demonstrated Poland. While such tensions continued continued on the Livonian war, which had negative effect on Lithuania. The international situation did not allow the Lithuanians to set out the conditions, so after some time the fluctuations of the Lithuanian side came back to Lublin and agreed to be unpopular for her items in the document. Now on the map of Europe appeared a new state-Rzeczpospolita. On all counts, it became apparent that it was a tremendous conciliatory work in which managed to get a compromise solution. The nobility of both countries more closer to each other.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during its existence, has spent a lot of time in the war. Unconquered Ukrainian Cossacks was largely brought more trouble than benefit from their service. Almost all time of its existence, the Commonwealth led a constant war with them. After the conclusion of the Union of Ukraine and Russia added another new enemy. The Russian Empire and even fought against the poles in favor of Ukraine, however, found common ground for joint missions. So, at the Andrusovo Treaty was divided Ukrainian territory. Poland gained control over the right Bank, but by fate the same Russia and the Commonwealth will be divided and will end its existence.
