[hider=Brief History]Personal union of the Kingdoms of Poland and Hungary ruled by the Báthory Dynasty. Their first king was Stephen Báthory I. whose deft use of politics made him vovoide of Transylvania, King of Poland and eventually also King of Hungary. His aim was to create a strong nation in Central Europe which is no longer prey to the great powers from neither the East or West. His vision was continued by his son Sigmund who took back Buda from the Ottomans and made several territorial gains in Hungary. In 1648 Hungary-Poland led the Holy League against the Turkish Menace. This coincided with the rebellion of the Janissaries thus rendering the Ottomans weak enough that the champaign concluded in major victory. The war abruptly ended when the Habsburg Monarchy went against the treaty and attacked Hungary before the Turkish forces could be truly expelled from Europe. Regardless, Sigmund achieved his main objective, reclaiming Hungary as a whole. Following this Poland-Hungary entered an era of consolidation and relative peace. The Pope urged the Báthory Dynasty to drive out the Turks but rivalry with the Habsburgs kept Hungary-Poland in check. The year is 1700 and the Kingdoms are ruled by their seventh shared king, Báthory Stephen II. The world is at change as Europe erupts in war and turmoil once again.
