Since the 16th Century, the Hapsburgs and and Ottomans had been locked in a bitter struggle for dominance in Hungary. In 1683, the stagnating Ottoman Empire launches one last assault against Vienna. The resulting conflict would once and for all determine the fate of Hungary.Meanwhile, in the west, France was becoming increasingly aggressive towards the German princes and Spain, triggering a separate conflict to ultimately decide the power balance of Europe in the decades to come. After the war, The aggressiveness of Louis XIV of France was caped, notwithstanding France remained Europe's greatest military power. The relationship between England and the Netherlands was cemented further following the Glorious Revolution, and Savoy began to make its mark as a key second-rate power. War would again erupt just a few months later after the Death of Charles II of Spain, beginning the War of the Spanish Succession.
