By the beginning of the 16th century, the Zaporizhzhya Cossacks developed in significant military force, which caused anxiety to neighbors. However, the neighbors behaved uneasily. The Polish government created in Ukraine the so -called register Cossacks, which became an important force in wars against Turkey and the Moscow state. They had to protect the Commonwealth from Tatar and Zaporizhzhya raids. At the same time, in Ukraine, there were thousands of non -country Cossacks who inhabited the South Ukrainian steppes and lived in war, robbery, hunting and fishing. The Cossacks lived primarily due to military booty in wars with the Crimean Khanate and Turkey, as well as the salary that they paid them, respectively, Warsaw and Moscow
