=== The Beginning of the End === In 1683, the 2nd Siege of [[File:Vienna-icon.png]] [[Vienna]] failed, it was a military disaster to the Ottoman Empire as his supply lines were stretched and in unfamiliar territory with several incompetent commanders in charge. [[File:Poland-Lithuania-icon.png]] [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth|John III Sobieski]] led an unlikely alliance against the Ottomans siegrs and made a great charge against the unprepared siegers, breaking their line and sending them into a disarray. European players realized that the Ottomans was not so invincible. After the disaster at the Battle of [[File:Vienna-icon.png]] [[Vienna]], [[File:Catholicism-icon.png]] [[Catholicism|Pope Benedetto Odescalchi]] of Vatican Church saw it as a perfect opportunity to remove the religious threat of Ottoman Empire from the Balkans and hopefully push through its territories to Anatolia. Perhaps even the Holy Lands in Levant. And to bring [[File:Christianity-icon.png]] [[Christianity]] back to the Balkans, also to kill those who refused to convert, whether they be a [[File:Islam-icon.png]] [[Islam|Muslim]] or [[File:Judaism-icon.png]] [[Judaism|Jew]]. [[File:Holy League-icon.png]] [[Holy League]] consisting of all of [[File:Europe-icon.png]] [[Europe]] (except [[File:KOPortugal-icon.png]] [[Kingdom of Portugal]] and [[File:SwissOld-icon.png]] [[Old Swiss Confederacy]]) was formed. They fought until in 1699, Ottoman Empire was pushed back and lost [[File:KOHungary1000-icon.png]] [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungary]]'s former land to [[File:Occupied Austria-icon.png]] [[Archduchy of Austria|Austria]]. That is when the [[File:Europe-icon.png]] [[Europe]] started realizing that the Ottoman Empire had been stagnating for some time while they themselves grew stronger thanks to the colonization and exploitation of the [[File:3ball-icon.png]] [[Native Americans|New World]], including the perks of [[File:Industrialism-icon.png]] [[Industrialism|Industrial Revolution]]. And so started the long decline of Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire began losing every single region of theirs one by one. As the Europe was locked in an endless theatre of wars, some had the natural desire to expand and saw the weak, stagnating Ottoman Empire as the perfect target. It started with propaganda leading to the Ottomans being known as "''the sick man of Europe"'' and supported the rebels inside, sowing ideas of independence and unjust treatment from Ottoman government. This led to many armed riots and insurrections, weakening the Ottoman Empire further.
