I know this topic has been discussed multiple times before, but, most of the time, i feel like the threads devolve into discussing whether or not the Ottomans would have attacked Germany next, despite their overstretched supply and comms lines.
So, i ask: what if the Ottomans had successfully captured and held Vienna in 1683, repulsing the Habsburg and Polish defending forces?
-Would the Ottomans directly annex Vienna as a province, or would they hand it and its surroundings to Imre Thokoly as another fiefdom for him to play around with? Would Bavaria annex or occupy the remainder of Habsburg Austria?
-What are the effects on the War of The Reunions, that is about to break out in the Habsburg territories west of the Rhine? Seeming as the Habsburgs are now weakened and busy dealing with the Turks, would Louis XIV seize the opportunity and launch larger raids on Habsburg territory near France?
-What are the effects on the Spanish Succession War? I guess that, with less of an empire to call upon, the Habsburgs won't even contest the Bourbon accession to the Spanish throne.
-Can the Crimean Khanate survive?
-What happens to Carniola, Styria, and Carinthia? Those provinces would seem vulnerable to Turkish raids.
