The Wild West of Europe: The Birth of the Cossacks @KingsandGenerals

While western Ukraine was highly developed, the east was a violent frontier constantly raided by the Crimean Khanate. To escape the brutal oppression of Polish serfdom, thousands of brave peasants, indebted nobles, and defrocked priests fled south to the wild plains of the Dnieper River. Intermingling with rogue frontier mercenaries, they abandoned farming to become hunters and brigands, creating a free Cossack society that valued absolute liberty! #Cossacks #UkraineHistory #HistoryShorts #Serfdom #EasternEurope #OutlawHistory #WildFields
