Episode The 1683 Battle of Vienna That Ended Ottoman Expansion
In 1683, the Ottoman Empire under Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha launched its final major attempt to take Vienna, the heart of Habsburg power. This episode dives into the 62-day siege, the unlikely Holy League that formed to stop it, and the dramatic relief charge of Polish King Jan III Sobieski and his Winged Hussars up the Kahlenberg heights. We explore Kara Mustafa's overreach, the pivotal battle that turned the tide, and the Treaty of Karlowitz that followed — the first major forced cession of Ottoman territory. It's the story of a superpower's last gasp at expansion and the birth of a new European balance of power.
