The 'Treaty of Karlowitz' or 'Treaty of Karlovci' was signed on
January 26,
1699 in
Sremski Karlovci (
Serbian Cyrillic: Сремски Карловци,
Croatian: ''Srijemski Karlovci'',
German: ''Karlowitz'',
Turkish: ''Karlofça'',
Hungarian: ''Karlóca''), a town in modern-day
Serbia, concluding the
Austro-Ottoman War of
1683–
1697 in which the Ottoman side had finally been defeated at the
Battle of Senta.
Following a two-month
congress between the
Ottoman Empire on one side and the
Holy League of 1684, a coalition of various European powers including the
Habsburg Monarchy, the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the
Republic of Venice and
Muscovite Russia, a treaty was signed on January 26, 1699. The Ottomans ceded most of
Hungary,
Transylvania and
Slavonia to Austria while
Podolia returned to Poland. Most of
Dalmatia passed to Venice, along with the
Morea (the
Peloponnesus peninsula), which the Ottomans regained in the
Treaty of Passarowitz of
1718.
The Treaty of Karlowitz marked the beginning of the Ottoman decline in Eastern Europe, and made the
Habsburg Monarchy the dominant power in
Central Europe.
