with internal conflicts, many problems were occurred with Poland. Austria had benefited
from the internal chaos of the Ottoman Empire and captured the castles of Egri
(November,1687), Istoni and Belgrade (September 1688).

to the Balkans and Austria invaded Bosnia and Wallachia. Against this advance, the Ottoman
Army led by Celebi Ibrahim Pasha defeated the Austrian Army in Egriboz and Sultan Suleyman
II in 1689 went to Austria campaign.
The Ottoman Army commanded by Koprulu Mehmed Pasha recaptured Gladova and Orsovia

Ottoman forces taken back Belgrade in October 1690.
