Timeline

1. 1684Linz · Upper AustriaAfter the relief of Vienna, papal envoys in Vienna and Warsaw pressed Venice to join the existing imperial-Polish offensive agreement. On March 5, 1684, the three parties signed the Holy League treaty at Linz, pledging to fight solely against the Ottomans until a joint peace; on May 24, the pope and the College of Cardinals swore the oath in Rome, and Innocent XI became the league's protector.
2. 1686Moscow · MoscowThe papacy had written to Regent Sophia inviting Russia to enter the war. In 1686 Russia and Poland concluded the Eternal Peace (Treaty of Grzymułtowski) in Moscow, confirming the transfer of Kiev and other places and agreeing not to make separate peace with the Ottomans; Russia then joined the Holy League, pledging to attack the Crimean Khanate, expanding the league into a four-sided Habsburg-Poland-Venice-Russia structure.
3. 1686–1699Karlowitz · VojvodinaIn 1686 imperial forces recaptured Buda, Venice opened a maritime front in the Morea, and Russia campaigned twice against Crimea. After the Battle of Zenta in 1697, the Ottomans and the league made peace at Karlowitz on January 26, 1699: most of Hungary and Transylvania went to the Habsburgs, Venice kept the Morea and other places, and Poland recovered Podolia. The league dissolved after achieving its strategic goals.
