try to clarify Union of Lublin
Line 10:
* 1499 – [[Union of Kraków and Vilnius]] [[personal union]] turns to [[dynastic union]], recognises sovereignty of Lithuania and describes interaction between the two states;
* 1501 – [[Union of Mielnik]] - [[personal union]] renewed;
* July 1, 1569 – [[Union of Lublin]] — a [[real union]] that resulted in creation of the semi-[[federation|federal]], semi-[[confederation|confedederalconfederal]] [[Republic of the Two Nations|Republic of the Two Nations (Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth)]]; and
* May 3, 1791 – [[Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791]]: the [[Kingdom of Poland (1385–1569)|Kingdom of Poland]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania]] were abolished, and a common state was created in their place. The changes were modified with the [[Reciprocal Guarantee of Two Nations]] that stressed the continuity of bi-national status of the state, and were reversed completely in 1792 under pressure of [[Russian Empire]] forces.
