Sulyma uprising

The Sulyma uprising was a Cossack rebellion headed by Ivan Sulyma against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1635. The rebels succeeded in capturing and destroying the newly built Kodak Fortress, but were defeated by Polish forces under Hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski soon afterwards. Sulyma was executed in December of the same year.

Background
The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth controlled most of the Cossack territories at the time, and their nobility was trying to turn militant Cossacks into serfs. The Cossacks were also responsible for provoking some conflicts with the Ottoman Empire. To secure the troublesome south-eastern border, the Commonwealth began construction of a new fortress, the Kodak fortress, finished in July 1635. ==Uprising==
Uprising
Soon after the Kodak fortress was finished, after returning from a raid in the Black Sea against the Ottomans, Cossack leader Ivan Sulyma decided to rebel against the Commonwealth. ==References==
