TheOttoman Ukraine (Ukrainian:Османська Україна,romanized: Osmanska Ukraina),Khan Ukraine (Ханська Україна,Khanska Ukraina),Hanshchyna (Ганьщина)[1] was a region ofright-bank Ukraine (including southern regions of theKiev Voivodeship), which came underOttoman suzerainty in the aftermath ofPetro Doroshenko's union with thesultan. It is also known by its Turkic nameYedisan. The first recorded use of the termKhanska Ukraina is traced to 1737[citation needed] when the Russian secret agent Lupul urged EmpressAnna of Russia to attack Ottoman Ukraine.
Officially, the southern, coastal edge of territory had been occupied by theCrimean Khanate since the 1520s in order to enable theslave raidings. The territory appeared as a consequence of the 1667Truce of Andrusovo, which divided theCossack Hetmanate, without consideration of the local population between thePolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and theTsardom of Russia. Since 1669, the Ottoman authorities granted protectorate to the Cossack statehood west of the Dnieper and designated it into a separate sanjak which was headed by Cossack Hetman Petro Doroshenko. It was confirmed by theTreaty of Buchach in 1672.
The territory was bordered to its west byPodolia Eyalet and its south bySilistra Eyalet. With the help ofPetro Doroshenko, the Ottomans were able to occupyPodilia and established its province in 1672. In 1676 the newKing of Poland,Jan III Sobieski, managed to recover some of the lost territories of Ukraine and stopped paying a tribute after signing theTruce of Zhuravno. Also in 1676,Ivan Samoylovych, along with the boyarGrigory Romodanovsky, led a successful campaign against Doroshenko forcing him to surrender and occupied the Cossack capital,Chyhyryn. Between 1677 and 1678 a powerful army of Ibrahim Pasha fought over the control ofChyhyryn (seeRusso-Turkish War (1676–81)). Eventually, the army of theGrand VizierKara Mustafa Pasha was successful in taking control overChyhyryn, in 1678. The city ofNemyriv became the Hetman residence between the 1670s and 1699.
After the 1681Treaty of Bakhchisarai, Ottoman Ukraine came under the government of Moldavia by HospodarGeorge Ducas.
In 1685, Polish kingJohn III Sobieski revived some Cossack freedoms in right-bank Ukraine and signed theEternal Peace Treaty of 1686 with Russia securing an alliance against theOttoman Empire.
Most of Ottoman Ukraine became part of theCrimean Khanate (under protectorate of theRussian Empire) in 1774 except for the Ochakiv region which remained part of theOttoman Empire.
