The Battle of Vienna of 1683 was the real point at which the Empire began its decline. After the defeat of the Ottomans at Vienna, Prince Eugene of Savoy lead Austrian forces to victories in the Great Turkish War. By 1699, Hungary was conquered from the Ottomans by the Austrians. The Treaty of Karlowitz was signed that year. Subsequent wars in the 18th century brought on the Treaty of Passarowitz, Treaty of Belgrade, Treaty of Nissa which entrenched the new Habsburg-Ottoman-Russian borders in the southeast of Europe.
