Sobieski, as a diplomat, envisions an alliance with France and the Ottomans against the Austrian empire and Brandenburg.

His plans have never come to fruition, however, and finally, in 1683, have to be abandoned.

Conscious that Poland lacks allies and risks war against most of its neighbors (similar to the Deluge), Sobieski has allied himself with Leopold I, of the Holy Roman Empire.

The alliance, although aimed directly against the Turks and indirectly against France, has the advantage of gaining support for the defense of Poland's southern borders.
