| - One of the known battles taking place in Vienna, Austria was known as the Battle of Vienna on the 11th and 12th of September, 1683 when the imperial city was besieged by the Ottoman Empire for two months. The battle was fought by the HRE (Holy Roman Empire) of known German Nations and league with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's Holy League and the battle was against the invaders of the Sunni Muslim Ottomans and chiefdom of the empire. It took place at Kahlenberg Mountain located near or somewhat next to Vienna where the battle marked the first time Poland and the HRE cooperated militarily against the Turkish peoples. It was known to be a turning point in history when the Ottomans ceased to be a menace to the Christian world (Europe) and in the ensuing war which ended in 1698 is when the Turks lost almost all of Hungary to the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. The battle ended with the HRE and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth winning and it represented only by the forces of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland because the march of the Lithuanian army was delayed and they reached Vienna when the city was already relieved of it's siege. The Viennese garrison also was led by Ernst Rüdiger Graf von Starhemberg who was an Austrian subject of Leopold I. There was an overall command which held by senior leader who was king of Poland, John III Sobieski in which he led the Polish forces. The military forces of the Ottoman Empire who opposed the HRE were commanded by the Grand Vizier Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha and an Ottoman army of approximately 90,000-300,000 men began their siege during the course of July 14, 1683. Turkish forces also consisted of 60 ortas of Janissaries which were 12,000 men in paper-strength which there was an army of observation roughly being 70,000 men who watched. The battle took place on September 11, when the army of about 46,000 men arrived. Historians also seem the battle was marked the turning-point in the Ottoman Habsburg Wars which there was a 300-year struggle between the Holy Roman and Ottoman empires. During sixteen years which followed the battle, the Austrian Habsburgs recovered and dominated all of Southern Hungary over to Transylvania and it cleared out a large portion of Turkish forces. This was when the battle was also noted for including largely known cavalry charges during history.
- The battle was won by the combined forces of the Holy Roman Empire and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the latter being only represented by the forces of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland (the march of the Lithuanian army was delayed, as a result of which they arrived in Vienna after it was relieved). The Viennese garrison was led by Ernst Rüdiger Graf von Starhemberg, subordinate of Leopold I Habsburg, Holy Roman Emperor. The overall command was held by the commander of the Polish Crown's forces, the King of Poland, Jan III Sobieski. The alliance fought the army of the Ottoman Empire and those of Ottoman fiefdoms commanded by Grand Vizier Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha. The siege itself began on 14 July 1683, by the Ottoman Empire army of approximately 90,000–300,000 men. The besieging force was composed of 60 ortas of Janissaries (12,000 men paper strength) with an observation army of c.70,000 men watching the countryside. The decisive battle took place on 12 September, after the united relief army of approximately 84,000 men had arrived. It has been suggested by some historians that the battle marked the turning point in the Ottoman–Habsburg wars, the 300-year struggle between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire. However, an opposing view sees the battle as only confirming the already-decaying power of the Ottoman Empire. Over the sixteen years following the battle, the Habsburgs of Austria gradually occupied and dominated southern Hungary and Transylvania, which had been largely cleared of the Ottoman forces. The battle is also notable for including the largest cavalry charge in history.
