In the Middle Ages, the Ottoman Empire repeatedly tried to expand into Central Europe. In early 1683, the Ottoman Turks invaded Austria, and on 14 July reached Vienna. Pope Innocent XI sent out a call for a "Holy League" of soldiers in defence of the city.

中世纪时，鄂图曼帝国多次要把版图扩展到中欧。一六八三年，鄂图曼土耳其人进侵奥利地，七月十四日，兵临维也纳。皇英诺森十一世号召组织军事「神圣联盟」保卫这个城市。

The Pope's call was answered by John Sobieski, king of Poland, who was put in charge of a combined force of 70000 soldiers. Because of Sobieski's military brilliance¹, they defeated an army twice their size.

波兰国王约翰．苏比斯基响应皇号召，获推举为七千万盟军统帅。他用兵如神，打败了人数较盟军多一倍的鄂图曼大军。

In announcing his victory to the Pope, the king slightly changed Julius Caesar's famous words by saying simply, "I came, I saw, God conquered."

苏比斯基向皇报捷，把尤利乌斯．凯撒的话稍加更改，简简单单的说：“我来了，我看到了，上帝战胜了。”
