In 1672 the Ottoman army, led by Sultan Mehmed IV, captured Kamaniçe after a short siege.[1] The Treaty of Buchach confirmed Ottoman control of the city, which became the centre of a new eyalet.[1] The treaty was repudiated by the Polish Diet, and war broke out anew.[1]
The polish campaign proved unsuccessful, and the truce of Żurawno (1676) left Podolia within Ottoman borders. Another Polish-Ottoman war broke out again in 1683.[1] For the next 16 years, Ottoman rule in Podolia was limited to the blockaded fortress of Kamianets, held by a garrison of 6,000 soldiers. The fortress was returned to Poland as a result of the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699).[1]
During the 27 years of Ottoman rule, Podolia was administered by nine Ottoman pashas:[1]
The eyalet was divided into four sanjaks:[1]
