Wikipedia: The term Deluge denotes a series of mid-seventeenth century campaigns in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In a wider sense it applies to the period between the Khmelnytsky (Chmielnicki) Uprising of 1648 and the Truce of Andrusovo in 1667, thus comprising the Polish-Lithuanian theaters of the Russo-Polish and Second Northern Wars. In a stricter sense, the term refers to the Swedish invasion and occupation of the commonwealth as a theater of the Second Northern War only (1655–1660); Lithuanians and Poles know this as the Swedish Deluge.
