AHC: Ottoman Poland

Your challenge, is to create a situation in which the Ottoman Empire has control of at least Warsaw and its present-day borders at the Oder River.

Any POD is fine, and having a Grand Duchy of Warsaw situation is fine here; however, it must be the Ottoman Empire, and not a Turkish leader in control of a future Pan-European superstate. ;)

Maybe the Crimean Khanate raids and pillages Poland even further . Later, Ottoman troops , Crimean Tatars and other vassals invade fullscale.

Shortly before the 1683 Vienna-Kahlenberg battle, the Hungarian usurpator (a vassal of the Ottomans) secretly planned to inavde Poland in absent of Polish King Jan Sobieski. Sobieski suspected it and wrote a letter to the usurpator and thraetened to exterminate him,if he dared to take advantage of the situation. If Sobieski had been killed during Kahlenberg and the coalition failed, the Hungarian vassals might have attacked Poland. The Ottomans might have decided to dirctley take over later.
 
It's not a challenge. During king's Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki reign, Poland was Ottoman vassal. It lasted only for few years, because Ottos were beaten soon, but still...

If You ask for annexation of PLC by Ottos- it's ASB. Annexing PLC would double length of Otto's borders- which is bad for health, even without such unruly territory.
