Treaty of Karlowitz

1699 · 17th century · Part of the Great Turkish War

The Treaty of Karlowitz was signed in 1699 between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy League of Austria, Poland-Lithuania, Venice and Russia, ending the war that followed the failed Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683. The Ottomans surrendered Hungary, Transylvania and Podolia. Accounts of the Ottoman Empire treat it as the first major permanent territorial loss in Europe and a marker of the empire's decline.
