Pretty shitty empire, on the level of the Spanish or Ottoman one. It wasn't powerful and able to exert it's power (Like England, Holland or Sweden) it just had a lot of land and serfs.

Lol. Spanish and Ottoman empires were among the most influential and powerful in history. PLC was a joke.

But you are aware that destruction of PLC led to unification of Germany by Prussians and world wars as the ultimate result?

PLC was sine qua non condition of world peace, deal with it.

Sarmatia Serenissima was never an empire to begin with. It was a union of noble families built on the basis of their kinship. WE WUZ BROS.

TBQH such thing didn't exist in general until 18th century

>>73041301
Yes.

Why were the Radziwills such moustache-twirling villains, bros? Did they singlehandedly sink the Commonwealth? And why were the Wišnowieckis such saints? Would history have played out differently if the good Duke Jeremia hadn't been struck down by plague?

>>73041301
Yes

>Why were the Radziwills such moustache-twirling villains, bros?
They chosen wrong side, ie. the one which lost eventually.

>Did they singlehandedly sink the Commonwealth?
Eh, it's a long story. Don't trust Sienkiewicz, he was a bigot.

>And why were the Wišnowieckis such saints?
Michał Korybut is generally considered a failure as king.

>Would history have played out differently if the good Duke Jeremia hadn't been struck down by plague?
There is an alt-history scenario beginning from the lost battle of Vienna, with Turks besiegeing Warsaw and the new king from the House of Condi using the opportunity to strengthen his power. Sometimes a small disaster can save your ass in a long run.

Russia was such a fucking joke that even Russians didn't want to live there and run away to PLC

Scanian wars? Civil war in Scania following the annexation by Sweden where Bornholm returned to Denmark and Trondelag to Norway? This was in the mid-17th century btw.
