In 1655, during the Second Northern War, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania sought protection from the Swedish Empire by entering into the Union of Kėdainiai.
After a brief period of independence, Lithuania became once again a part of the Polish-Lithuanian state. This political union lasted until 1795 when the Partition of Poland resulted in the disappearance of both independent Lithuania and Poland from the political landscape.
