 Spinoza in Turkey 11
This wouldn't necessarily happen in the ATL; battle is a chancy thing, and it's entirely possible that Fazil Pasha's activities might be altered enough that he'd avoid taking a bullet at Slankamen or fight the Austrians someplace else entirely.
On the other hand, Spinoza didn't really play a part in the Grand Vizier's military reforms and nothing has happened to change the general fortunes of war, so the OTL outcome is also a reasonable possibility, and one that has the advantage of keeping random effects to a minimum.
Thus far, I've generally held to the convention of keeping such things as the outcome of battles and the deaths of historical figures the same as OTL unless there's a good reason not to, and I'll continue to do so for events such as the Constantinople fires of 1693.
