 Abstract.In 17th  century, Vienna, Warsaw and Moscow represented the

fundamental nuclei of Central and Eastern Europe, around which defensiveand offensive political systems were created, and, sometimes, certainagreements were reached to, such as the one that generated the foundation ofthe Holy League.

The battle for Vienna had a general political implication; thedetachments of the Romanian Countries also fought in this battle. All thatfollowed until January 1699, at Karlowitz, only proved that, in the middleDanube area, unique events were taking place. The Ottoman Empire was

gradually losing half of its European territories, and it was heading towards animminent collapse.The present study present the rivalry between Poland and the House of

 Austria over the control of the Romanian territory, during 1685-1686; in thismatter, the Habsburgs were successful due to the Hallerian Treaty. We alsostop over the Polish-Russian connections that were forthcoming for theperpetual peace (1686), which proved to be ill-fated for Poland; this eventrepresented the reason why Poland enterprised some campaigns in 1685 and1686, which, unfortunately, were unsuccessful. We analyze, simultaneously, thediplomatic efforts paid by the Romanian rulers, who were in the middle ofthese rivalries.

existenţa Ligii Sfinte.

O cheie de boltă a întregului eşafodaj politic l-a constituit bătălia pentru Viena, la care au luat parte şi detaşamentele ţărilor române. Tot ce a urmat pânăîn ianuarie 1699, la Karlowitz, nu a făcut decât să demonstreze că se întâmplaula Dunărea mijlocie evenimente de excepţie. Imperiul otoman pierdea jumătatedin teritoriul stăpânit în Europa şi se îndrepta, ireversibil, spre prăbuşire. 

Studiul de faţă înfăţişează problema rivalităţii polono-austriece, deextindere a stăpânirii lor asupra spaţiului românesc, din anii 1685-1686, în careimperialii au avut câştig de cauză prin impunerea tratatului Hallerian. Suntanalizate, de asemenea, relaţiile polono-ruse, ce au înregistrat semnarea păciiperpetue (1686), nefastă pentru Republica nobiliară, şi sunt prezentatecampaniile polone din 1685 şi 1686, ce s-au soldat cu un eşec total. Suntevidenţiate, în paralel, acţiunile diplomatice ale domnilor români, aflaţi înmijlocul acestei acerbe rivalităţi.
