Polish–Ottoman War (1683–1699)

Common card · No. 461637

The Polish–Ottoman War or the War of the Holy League was the Polish side of the conflict that is otherwise known as the Great Turkish War. The conflict began with a Polish victory at the Battle of Vienna in 1683 and ended with the Treaty of Karlowitz, which restored to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth lands lost in the previous Polish–Ottoman War (1672–76)). It was the last conflict between the Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire; despite the Polish victory, it marked the decline of power not only the Ottoman Empire but also the Commonwealth, which would never again interfere in affairs outside its declining borders.
