Treaty of Jaworów
The Treaty of Jaworów was a secret treaty signed on 11 June 1675 between the Polish king John III Sobieski and France in Jaworów (today, Yavoriv). In the treaty, Poland promised to aid France against Brandenburg-Prussia, in exchange for French monetary subsidies and support for Polish claims over Ducal Prussia.[1][2]
The French promised to mediate between Poland and the Ottoman Empire so that Polish forces could be diverted from the southern border.[3]
The treaty, however, did not have much effect on European politics, as the French diplomacy failed to improve the relations between the Ottomans and Poland.[3][4] The 1576 Truce of Żurawno was unfavorable to Poland.[3][4] France eventually concluded the Treaty of Nijmegen (1679) with Prussia, which cooled its relations with Poland, as Sobieski abandoned his pro-French stance; the Polish-French alliance had fallen apart by 1683 when some of the pro-French faction members were accused of plotting to depose Sobieski, and French ambassador Nicolas-Louis de l'Hospital, Bishop of Beauvais and Marquis of Vitry was forced to leave the country.[5]
Mounting pressure from Ottoman Empire postponed plans for Sobieski's war with Prussia,[5] and eventually lead to the creation of the Holy League in 1584, in which Poland and the Holy Roman Empire (which included the Brandenburg-Prussia) had to ally against the Ottomans (as part of the Great Turkish War, a conflict whose Polish front was known as the Polish–Ottoman War (1683–99)).[1]
