1579 CE

Báthory now turns to face Poland's major enemy, Muscovy, which is attempting to seize an outlet on the Baltic Sea. The king secures a truce with Turkey and strengthens the Polish army by enrolling Cossacks on a regular basis.

The Polish forces, reorganized under his leadership, are able to carry the Livonian War onto Russian territory in 1579 while the Swedes recapture parts of Livonia.
