Ottoman-Austria Relations
Erdel Governor (Beylerbeyi) Rakoci joined with Eflak and Bogdan, rebelled against Ottomans in order to hold the throne of Poland in 1658. Grand-vizier Koprulu Mehmet Pasha marched against the revolters, captured the fortress of Yanova and appointed new governors to Erdel, Eflak and Bogdan.
Ex-governor Rakoci requested protection from Austria. The interference of Austria to Erdel was the beginning of the war between Ottomans and Austria. With the death of Koprulu Mehmet Pasha in 1661, the grand-vizier position was replaced by his son, Fazil Ahmet Pasha who marched against Austria and captured the fortress of Uyvar. The ottomans accepted peace offer due to civic turmoil in Hungary.
