I. Selim Giray'ın Hanlık Döneminde Osmanlı-Lehistan Savaşlarında Kırım Kuvvetleri
Crimean Forces in the Wars Between the Ottoman Empire and Poland Under the Rule of Selim Giray I (1671-1704)

Summary/Abstract: Selim Giray ws the Crimean Khan for 22 years and 7 months between the years 1671 and 1704. His first period (1671-1677) was marked with a breakdown in relationships and wars between the Ottoman Empire and Poland primarily because of Cossack question, and sec-ondarily due to the struggle for sovereignty in Eflak and Bogdan. After Poland had to accept Ottoman sovereignty in Podolia and Ukraina, in-cluding the Kamanica fortress, with the Bucas 1672 and Izvance (Zurowno) 1676 treaties, a period of constant struggling between the Ottoman Empire and Poland started. It would last until the Karlovic Treaty in 1699. During these clashes, Jan Sobieski, then king of Poland, had neither the chance to take back the Kamanica fortress and the lands in Podolia, nor the pleasure of getting the upper hand against the Turks, except for the battle of Hotin in 1673 and the siege of Vienna in 1683. It was all thanks to the efforts of the Crimean Khan Selim Giray.
