The Hetmanate (1649–1775) was a Cossack state in the central and north-eastern Ukraine. In 1654 it became a suzerainty of the Tsardom of Russia. As a result of the Treaty of Pereyaslav (Pereyaslavs'ka Rada) of 1654 and the Treaty of Andrusovo (Andrusiv) of 1667 the state became divided between Russia and Poland. This division caused the civil war Ukraine between various parties of Ukranian Cossacks that lasted till the end of the 17th century. In the 18th century the territory of the Hetmanate was limited to the left-bank Ukraine. In 1764 the authonomy of the Cossack state and the post of hetman were abolished by Catherine II of Russia.

The Hetmanate's first hetman was Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Its capital was at Chyhyryn, and later at Baturyn and Hlukhiv.
