Defeat of the Ottoman Empire in Vienna in 1683: Vienna with the area devastated by the Turks
The Great Turkish War between the Holy League of European Powers and the Ottoman Empire, also known as the Great Turkish War of Leopold I or the 5th Austrian Turkish War, lasted from 1683 to 1699. Under its new Grand Vizier and Commander-in-Chief Kara Mustafa, the Ottoman Empire tried for the second time in 1683 (after the first Turkish siege of Vienna in 1529) to conquer the imperial city of Vienna and to open the gate to Central Europe. The failure of this siege led to the imperial counter-offensive, in the course of which the Ottomans were expelled from the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary and the tripartite division of Hungary in favor of the Habsburgs came to an end.

Caption: "Defeat of the Ottoman Empire in Vienna, 1683: A Glimpse into a Pivotal Moment in European History". This print captures the aftermath of the historic defeat suffered by the Ottoman Empire during their second attempt to conquer Vienna in 1683. The image showcases Vienna's devastated landscape, bearing witness to the fierce battle that unfolded between the Holy League of European Powers and Kara Mustafa's forces. The Great Turkish War, also known as Leopold I's Austrian Turkish War or the 5th Austrian Turkish War, spanned from 1683 to 1699. It marked a turning point in history as it not only halted Ottoman expansion but also triggered an imperial counter-offensive that expelled them from Hungarian territories. In this illustration dating back to the 19th century, we see remnants of destruction left behind by both sides involved in this epic conflict. The failed siege on Vienna prompted a decisive response from Leopold I and his allies, leading to significant territorial gains for Habsburgs and ending Hungary's tripartite division. This powerful visual serves as a reminder of Europe's tumultuous past and highlights how pivotal events like these shaped its future. As viewers gaze upon this evocative scene captured by clu at Fine Art Storehouse, they are transported back through time to witness firsthand one of history's most significant battles – an event that forever altered Central Europe's geopolitical landscape.
