Answer
Pro-Ottoman noblemen forced Sigismund to abdicate in 1594. They were dissatisfied with his pro-Western policies and his alliance with the Holy Roman Empire. The noblemen believed that an alliance with the Ottoman Empire would be more beneficial to Poland-Lithuania, as it would protect the country from Russian expansionism.
