To elaborate on my edit of The Battle of Vienna, the conquest of Morea was a seperate smaller war lead by Venice, although indirectly part of the larger Holy League wars it cannot be cited as reason for the Holy League to have lost Much of the Holy Leagues' gains, as a large part of Hungary and Transylvania proper was ceded to Habsburg Austria as a result of the war and the treaty in which Morea was lost (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Passarowitz) was more advantageous to the Holy League than the Ottoman Empire. It is indeed true that part of the territory gained in the 1718 treaty was lost to the Otto Turks in 1739 under the treaty of Belgrade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Belgrade, but to both ascribe this as a signifcant territory loss and a direct effect of the Battle of Vienna is, in my opinion, grasping at straws. There can no doubt that the successful League wars were a tremendeous blow to the Ottoman position in both the Balkans and the rest of the world. Opposing opinions are welcomed and can be debated, but I don't think that should be part of the summary page of the Battle of Vienna, nor should it include minor territories lost 60 years after the battle, territories which admittedly were never conquered by the Holy League (1693-1699) either, but rather by Habsburg-Austria independently from the Holy League.
