'''Chmielnicki Uprising''' or Chmielnicki Rebellion is the name of a civil war in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the years 1648–1654.
Although Khmelnytsky's personal resentment influenced his decision to rid Ukraine of Polish and Ruthenian magnates and Jews, it seems that his ambition to become the ruler of Ukraine was the main motive that led him to instigate an Uprising of the Ruthenian people against them, known after him as the Chmielnicki Uprising.
Ukraine was still perilously weak, and in 1654 Khmelnytsky persuaded the Cossacks to ally with the Russian tsar in the highly controversial Treaty of Pereyaslav which led to incorporation of the Ukraine into Muscovy.

 Cossack Rebellion under Daniel Chmelnicki, 1648-1655
In 1648 Chmielnicki, for the Zaporozhe Cossacks, recognized the sovereignty of the Czars of Russia; the Cossack Rebellion thus turned into the Russo-Polish War.
Chmielnicki probably was the greatest leader in Cossack history.
His position therefore was more precarious than that of his Polish counterparts, and the size of the rebellion is at least to the same amount to be credited to the circumstances which caused the Cossacks to rebel than to Chmielnicki's charismatic leadership.

The largest of these was the Chmielnicki Uprising, which together with The Deluge is considered to be one of the events which brought an end to the Golden Age of the Commonwealth.
This uprising freed Cossacks from the Commonwealth sphere of influence, only to make them servants of the Russian Empire after the treaties of Pereyaslav and Andrusiv.
