Rise of Jan Sobieski (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth vs Ottoman Empire)

Polish–Ottoman War (1672–1676) was a conflict between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire, as a precursor of the Great Turkish War. It ended in 1676 with the Treaty of Żurawno (Zhuravne) and the Commonwealth ceding control of most of its Ukraine territories to the Ottomans its cossack vassal.

in 1672 internal politics destabilizing the Commonwealth, as the pro-French faction of Sobieski and pro-court faction of King Michał formed two confederations, which despite major Ottoman incursions in the south seemed more concerned with one another than with uniting to defend the country. This division culminated in the humiliating Treaty of Buchach, where the Commonwealth was forced to cede territories to the Ottomans, and promise an annual tribute. Sobieski eventually succeeded in balancing politics and national defense, and a combination of his military victories over the invaders, and successful negotiations at the Sejm in April 1673, led to a compromise in which the court faction dropped its demands and challenges against him and Parliament united for raising taxes for the army to defend the commonwealth.

in 1673 Sobieski added a major victory to his list, this time defeating the Ottomans in the Battle of Khotyn and capturing the fortress. The news of the battle coincided with the death of King Michal the day before the battle. On 19 May 1674 the following year, he was elected monarch of the Commonwealth. Nevertheless the political divison hampering Sobieski to pay for the army and have to resort to his personal wealth to avoid desertion.
