Conquest of Podolia by Casimir the Great

Casimir the Great, the last king of the Piast dynasty, made a strategic conquest of Podolia in the 1360s. The military campaign, culminating in the capture of Kamienets-Podolsky in 1362, significantly strengthened Poland's position in the east. The incorporation of this region ensured control over important trade routes and created a barrier against Tatar invasions.

Conquest of Red Ruthenia by Casimir the Great

The conquest of Red Ruthenia by Casimir the Great was one of the most significant events in 14th-century Polish history. Between 1340-1366, the king systematically incorporated the wealthy Ruthenian lands into the Kingdom of Poland, including the strategically located Lviv. The campaign ended with the treaty of 1366, which ultimately confirmed Polish rule over this territory.
