Poland was a conglomeration of many different nationalities and religions even before The Union of Lublin, when the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth upraised in virtue of the international agreement, and before the Warsaw Confederation, which granted the religious freedom to all citizens. Beside the most numerous population of Poles and Lithuanians, the country was inhabited by Russians, Armenians, Jews, Germans, Tatars and also arriving Scotts, Italians, Dutch and French people, who often was fleeing from the Counter-Reformation. Such a large number of national minorities was associated with the diversity of religions – from Catholics, Lutherans, Calvinists, Orthodoxians, through Jews and Islamists, to Anabaptists, Mennonites and Arians.
