Kara Mustafa has taken a portion of Vienna’s walls and by September appears to be on his way to victory, but on September 12, 1683, the Austrians and their Polish allies under King Jan Sobieski take advantage of dissent within the Turkish military command and the poor disposition of Kara Mustafa’s troops, winning the Battle of Vienna with a devastating flank attack led by Sobieski's Polish cavalry.
The Turks retreat into Hungary, and then leaving the kingdom for retaking by the Germans in 1686.
The defeat costs Mustafa his position, and ultimately, his life.
