Great Turkish War

The Great Turkish War (1683–1699) was a major conflict between the Ottoman Empire and a coalition of European powers, including the Holy Roman Empire, Poland, and Russia. It began with the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, which marked a turning point against Ottoman expansion in Europe. The war involved several battles across Central and Eastern Europe, ultimately leading to the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. This treaty resulted in significant territorial losses for the Ottomans, marking the decline of their influence in Europe and the strengthening of the Habsburg Monarchy and other European states.
