Deluge | Definition of Deluge by Merriam-Webster The Swedish Empire , which technically already was at war with the Commonwealth a ceasefire agreement existed from and was prolonged from —61 , invaded in July and occupied the remaining half of the country. Following the Thirty Years' War , the Swedish Empire emerged as one of the strongest nations on the continent. It had a large army but little money to pay its soldiers. The Polish—Lithuanian Commonwealth, weakened by wars with the Cossacks and Tsardom of Russia , seemed like easy prey, also because its best soldiers had been massacred in the Battle of Batih. The Polish—Lithuanian King John II Casimir reigned —68 lacked support among the Commonwealth nobility szlachta due to his sympathies with absolutist Austria and his open contempt for the " Sarmatist " culture of the nobility. Earlier, in , John Casimir had become a member of the Jesuits and had received the title of Cardinal. He became King in Polish troops lacked gunpowder, cannons, and even food, which was stolen at local villages by hungry soldiers. Four days later, the Swedish army entered the Polish capital, becoming the first foreign army in history to capture Warsaw. The ancient capital of Poland was captured after a siege , on October 13, The Swedes, who were generally superior in training, discipline, and equipment, advanced rapidly. The Russian capture of Vilnius August 9, , and the subsequent slaughter of its residents convinced the Lithuanian nobility that Swedish protection was the best solution. With Russian forces attacking Sweden in Livonia , see Russo-Swedish War —58 , Poland finally had time to recoup and gather fresh forces. The news of the siege spread across the nation, and in several areas guerrilla units were created, outraged at the Swedes' attempt to seize the monastery. Two days later, the Tyszowce Confederation was formed in support of the Polish king. On March 3, Charles Gustav, whose units were harassed by Polish guerilla forces, decided to retreat. On March 30, the starving, cold and tired Swedish army of 5, stopped near Sandomierz , which was already in Polish hands. The Swedes camped among the forests of Sandomierz Forest near Gorzyce , where they were quickly surrounded by approximately 23, Poles and Lithuanians. To help the besieged army, on March 27 Frederick VI left Warsaw with 2, reiters and dragoons , so John Casimir ordered the mounted units of Czarnecki and Lubomirski to face the margrave. Frederick's army was defeated on April 7 in the Battle of Warka. At Gorzyce, however, second-quality Polish forces remained, and the Swedish king managed to break out April 5 , and on April 13, Charles Gustav reached Warsaw. After the Battle of Warka, Czarniecki and Lubomirski decided to head towards Greater Poland and Kujawy , to support guerrilla forces active there. After a short rest, Stefan Czarniecki considered a raid of Swedish Pomerania , but other Polish leaders opposed this idea. On April 21, the Lithuanians under Sapieha freed Lublin, and on April 23, the Lithuanian army reached Praga , which today is a right-bank district of Warsaw. After the battle, the surviving Polish units regrouped near Gniezno , and in late May, they headed for Warsaw, to help the Lithuanians in the siege of the Polish capital April 24 - July 1. Wittenberg capitulated on July 1, Already in late , Charles Gustav realized that it would be impossible for him to control the Commonwealth. The Swedish king decided to find allies, who would help him to divide Poland-Lithuania. On June 29, , he signed the Treaty of Marienburg , in which he offered Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg a reward for fighting on his side. Even though the allied army was smaller, it still managed to defeat the Poles and Lithuanians in the Battle of Warsaw July 28—30 , and to recapture Warsaw. This victory, hovewer, achieved little, as the Poles retreated behind the Wieprz , where they regrouped, and were soon ready to continue fighting. In November , Greater Poland's troops invaded the Brandenburg province of Neumark , which resulted in withdrawal of Brandenburg forces from most of Greater Poland. Charles Gustav, knowing that he needed the support of the Elector, agreed to sign the Treaty of Labiau November 20 , which granted full sovereignty to the Prussian ruler, in exchange for his complete military support of Sweden in the ongoing war. The Commonwealth, on the other hand, had already been negotiating with the House of Habsburg. On December 1, , the first Treaty of Vienna was signed, which was followed by a second Treaty of Vienna , in which Emperor Leopold I promised to aid John Casimir with 12, troops against the Swedish-Brandenburgian alliance. By late , Swedish troops had been pushed out of most of the Commonwealth. George had even been offered the Polish crown, on condition that he convert to Catholicism. In late January , the Transylvanian army of 25, crossed the Carpathians , heading towards Medyka , where 10, Cossack allies awaited them. Along the way to the ancient Polish capital, the Transylvanian-Cossack army burned and looted towns and villages, murdering thousands. The remaining Swedish army was commanded by Gustaf Otto Stenbock. To save his skin, the ruler of Transylvania began a quick retreat southwards, towards the Carpathians. Altogether, by autumn of that year, only some 8, Swedish soldiers remained in Poland - Lithuania. Ducal Prussia , which had previously allied itself with Sweden and attacked Poland, changed sides and guaranteed military support of the Commonwealth, in return for sovereignty it had been a fief of Poland since This treaty is regarded as one of the worst mistakes in Polish history. In the spring of , the Polish army, together with its Austrian allies under Raimondo Montecuccoli , began a campaign in Royal Prussia, where several key towns and cities were still in Swedish hands. The heavily fortified city was defended by soldiers under Barthod Hartwig von Bulow. In October , the Polish army of reached Hamburg , and in December , with the help of Polish troops, the fortress of Kolding was captured see Battle of Kolding. On July 1, , the Sejm ordered the expulsion of the Polish Brethren , who were accused of collaborating with the Swedish invaders. The reason for the attack was the Treaty of Hadiach , which prepared the basis for a Polish—Lithuanian—Ruthenian Commonwealth. Muscovy was opposed to this newly established state, and decided to wage another war. The Russians managed to capture large parts of the Commonwealth, but were later defeated in the Battle of Konotop and the Battle of Polonka. After the conclusion of the conflict, Poland - Lithuania initiated a large offensive against the Russians, who were beaten in the Battle of Chudnov.
