The Ottoman-Habsburg wars were a series of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy from the 16th to the 18th centuries. These wars primarily revolved around territorial disputes in Southeast Europe, particularly in regions like Hungary and Austria. The battles were marked by significant military engagements, including the famous sieges of Vienna in 1529 and 1683. The conflicts were driven by the Ottomans' expansionist ambitions and the Habsburgs' desire to protect their territories and influence in Europe. Ultimately, these wars contributed to the shifting balance of power in the region, influencing the political landscape for centuries to come.
