In 1648, Bohdan Chmielnicki, a Cossack in the Polish-Lithuanian controlled Ukraine, led an uprising against the Commonwealth. His primary reason for leading this rebellion was because a Polish Nobleman slept with his wife (according to Polish tradition). So, simple enough. WI the Pole never slept with Chmielnicki's wife? There is no uprising, Polish army crushes small Cossack rabble at Yellow Waters, etc. Now what?
