Following a two-month congress between the
Ottoman Empire on one side and the
Holy League, a coallition of various European powers including
Austria-Hungary,
Poland,
Venice and
Russia, a treaty was signed in
Sremski Karlovci (Karlowitz in German) on
January 26,
1699. With it, the Ottoman Empire surrendered control of most of
Hungary,
Transylvania and
Slavonia to Austria,
Podolia[?] passed to
Poland and the
Morea[?] (the
Peloponnesus peninsula) and most of
Dalmatia to
Venice. The Venetian gains were lost in
1718 by the
Treaty of Passarowitz. The Treaty of Carlowitz, concluding the Austro-Ottoman war (
1683-
1697) in which the Ottoman side was defeated, marks the end of the Ottoman expansion westward into Europe and makes Austria the dominant power in the south-eastern Europe.
