The Deluge (Polish Potop) is a name commonly assigned in the history of Poland to a series of wars in the 17th century which left Poland in ruins.
In a stricter sense Deluge refers only to the Swedish invasion and occupation of the country; in a wider sense it applies to the whole series of misfortunes started by the Khmelnytskyi Uprising 1648 and ending in either 1656, 1660 or even in 1667.
The Deluge also stopped the era of Polish tolerance, since most of the invaders were non-Catholic, with expulsion of the Polish brethren as a clear sign of it.
