The aim of King John III Sobieski …

Years: 1691 - 1691

The aim of King John III Sobieski of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has been to liberate Moldavia and Wallachia (present-day Romania) from Ottoman rule and to expand the Commomwealth's influence to the shores of the Black Sea, but his advances into Moldavia, undertaken between 1684 and 1691, have been mostly failures, and during the last one he had even been in danger of being captured.

Despite his previous victories, he is thus not able to achieve his objective.
