Polish-Ottoman War (1683–1699)
Years: 1683 - 1699
The Polish–Ottoman War (1683–1699), the Third Polish–Ottoman War or the War of the Holy League, refers to the Polish side of the conflict otherwise known as the Great Turkish War.
The conflict begins with a great Polish victory at the battle of Vienna in 1683, and ends with the Treaty of Karlowitz, restoring to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth lands lost in the previous Polish-Ottoman War (the Polish–Ottoman War (1672–1676)).
It is the last conflict between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire, and despite the Polish victory, it marks the decline of power of not only the Ottoman Empire, but also of the Commonwealth, which will never again interfere in affairs outside of its declining borders.
