Naturally, it was a forced move, caused by 1653 Kamyanets Polish-Crimean Treaty, which demonstrated political understanding between the Retch Pospolita and Crimean Khanate and did not stipulate even for autonomy of Cossack state within the Retch Pospolita.

With a unified China, the Yuan Dynasty contributed greatly to the political, economic and cultural development of the nation's various nationalities -- in strict contrast to the feuding that had gone on since the late years of the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
