Successes at Zhovti Vody, Battle of Korsun and Battle of Pilavtsi (respectively, in Polish, Żółte Wody, Korsuń, and Piławce) against Hetman Mikołaj Potocki led to the Polish king giving royal recognition for the contentious privileges under the Treaty of Zborov.

Under the command of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Cossacks allied with Crimean Tatars, along with the local Ruthenian peasantry, fought several battles against the armies of the the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and eradicated the control of the Polish Szlachta, Roman Catholic priests and Jewish arendators in the area.

When hostilities resumed, however, Khmelnytsky's forces were betrayed by their former allies the Crimean Tatars, suffered a massive defeat in 1651 at the Battle of Beresteczko, and were forced at Bila Tserkva (Biała Cerkiew) to accept a loser's treaty.
