The Ottoman Wars refer to a series of military conflicts involving the Ottoman Empire, which lasted from the late 14th century until the early 20th century. These wars were fought against various European powers, including the Habsburg Monarchy, Russia, and the Safavid Empire, as the Ottomans sought to expand their territory and influence. Key battles in the Ottoman Wars include the Battle of Mohács in 1526 and the Siege of Vienna in 1683. The outcomes of these conflicts significantly shaped the political landscape of Europe and the Middle East, leading to shifts in power and territorial boundaries throughout the centuries.
