Eric Hobsbawm characterized the start of this period as a “major servile upheaval” during the 17th-century “General Crisis.” For 10 points each:
[10h] Give this term for the chaotic period after the Khmelnytsky Uprising in Ukraine, when the Hetmanate’s Left and Right Banks were divided. It overlapped with the Polish–Lithuanian Deluge.

ANSWER: Little Ice Age [or LIA; reject “Ice Age”]
