What do you think would have happend if the Polish never prevent the 1683 Ottoman siege of Wien?

Ottomans fall apart anyway.
Everyone remembers that Islam is the enemy of Europe.
The world is a better place in 2012.

Europe falls to Islam due to French backstabbing.

Poland would get partitioned anyway.
Their biggest enemies were russia and prussia anyway.

Prussia was a little barking dog at their former overlord, Poland.

In 1683 Poland wasn't even as fuck as it was after Seven Years War. So it was possible to prevent partitions.

Highly unlikely, considering that Austria would've either been overrun or turned into a vassal of the Ottoman Empire.

you mean the army which mostly comprised germans?

This battle was the turning point in history after which "the Ottoman Turks ceased to be a menace to the Christian world". The Ottoman army consisted of about 300,000 men with elite Janissary and Sipahi units, while the defending forces consisted of 50,000-60,000 Germans, 24,000 in Viennese garrison and 15,000-20,000 Poles.
The Ottomans intended to take Vienna before the Polish relief forces, led by the king John III Sobieski himself (later called the Savior of Christendom by the Pope and "Lion of Lechistan" by the Ottoman belligerents themselves), arrived. The Ottomans attacked early at 4 a.m. The Polish infantry arrived in the afternoon and the hussars came into action at around 4 p.m. when the infantrymen cheered their arrival from the forest. At 6 p.m., Sobieski himself led the largest cavalry charge with 15,000 horses, spearheaded by 3,000 winged hussars.

Germans were useless there.

You mean like the Hungarian protestants from Transylvania who called the Ottomans for help against the Habsburgs in the first place? Or the French who had an alliance with them for 300 years? Or the English who had amiable relations with them? Or the Swedes who allied with them 20 years later? Or the protestants from the Netherlands who made medallions inscribed with "better Sultan than the Pope" during 30 years war?
The idea of Europe being a Christian, anti-Muslim monolith is a modern reinvention. Maybe it had some merit in the Crusades era, but certainly not in 1600s.

Your discussion board/quora copy & paste job labels the relief army "Polish" despite its being was 2/3rds German.
>>
>>1846045
I wish Hussars never arrived there.

Is that movie on this battle really as bad as they say?
>>
>>1846095
it's cringe, but at least Hussars look fancy as fuck.
