Ottoman-Habsburg Wars
The Ottoman-Habsburg Wars were a series of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy from the late 14th century to the 18th century. These wars primarily revolved around territorial disputes in Southeast Europe, particularly in regions like the Balkans and Hungary. The battles were marked by significant military engagements, including the famous sieges of Vienna in 1529 and 1631.
The wars were driven by the Ottomans' expansionist ambitions and the Habsburgs' desire to protect their territories and influence in Europe. The conflicts resulted in shifting borders and power dynamics, ultimately contributing to the decline of Ottoman control in Europe and the rise of Habsburg influence in the region.
