History
[
edit
]
Officially, the southern, coastal edge of territory had been occupied by the
Crimean Khanate
since the 1520s in order to enable the
slave raidings
. The territory appeared as a consequence of the 1667
Truce of Andrusovo
, which divided the
Cossack Hetmanate
, without consideration of the local population between the
Polish?Lithuanian Commonwealth
and the
Tsardom of Russia
. Since 1669, the Ottoman authorities granted protectorate to the Cossack statehood west of the Dnieper and designated it into a separate sanjak which was headed by Cossack Hetman
Petro Doroshenko
. It was confirmed by the
Treaty of Buchach
in 1672.
The territory was bordered to its west by
Podolia Eyalet
and its south by
Silistra Eyalet
. With the help of
Petro Doroshenko
, the Ottomans were able to occupy
Podilia
and established its province in 1672. In 1676 the new
King of Poland
,
Jan III Sobieski
, managed to recover some of the lost territories of Ukraine and stopped paying a tribute after signing the
Truce of Zhuravno
. Also in 1676,
Ivan Samoylovych
, along with the boyar
Grigory Romodanovsky
, led a successful campaign against Doroshenko forcing him to surrender and occupied the Cossack capital,
Chyhyryn
. Between 1677 and 1678 a powerful army of Ibrahim Pasha fought over the control of
Chyhyryn
(see
Russo-Turkish War (1676?81)
). Eventually, the army of the
Grand Vizier
Kara Mustafa Pasha
was successful in taking control over
Chyhyryn
, in 1678. The city of
Nemyriv
became the Hetman residence between the 1670s and 1699.
After the 1681
Treaty of Bakhchisarai
, Ottoman Ukraine came under the government of Moldavia by Hospodar
George Ducas
.
In 1685, Polish king
John III Sobieski
revived some Cossack freedoms in right-bank Ukraine and signed the
Eternal Peace Treaty of 1686
with Russia securing an alliance against the
Ottoman Empire
.

Most of Ottoman Ukraine became part of the Crimean Khanate (under protectorate of the Russian Empire) in 1774 except for the Ochakiv region which remained part of the Ottoman Empire.
