Vytautas' total defeat at the Vorskla comes …
Years: 1400 - 1400
Vytautas' total defeat at the Vorskla comes as a shock to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Poland, effectively blocking Lithuanian expansion to Southern Ruthenia, ending Vytautas' imperial ambitions in the east, and obliging him to submit once more to the protection of Wladyslaw.
His enormous state has also lost hard-won access to the Black Sea, as the Tatars have reconquered the southern steppe all the way to Moldavia; land that will not be reclaimed untils ome forty-two years later when the Crimean Khanate breaks away from the Golden Horde.
