Edited by Charles Ingrao, Nikola Samardzic, Jovan Pesalj
Part of the Central European Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
In the late spring of 1718 near the village of Požarevac (German Passarowitz) in northern Serbia, freshly conquered by Habsburg forces, three delegations representing the Holy Roman Emperor, Ottoman Sultan, and the Republic of Venice gathered to end the conflict that had begun three and a half years earlier.
The fighting had spread throughout southeastern Europe, from Hungary to the southernmost tip of the Peloponnese.
The peace redrew the map of the Balkans, extending the reach of Habsburg power, all but expelling Venice from the Greek mainland, and laying the foundations for Ottoman revitalisation during the Tulip period.
In this volume, twenty specialists analyse the military background to and political context of the peace congress and treaty.
They assess the immediate significance of the Peace of Passarowitz and its longer term influence on the society, demography, culture, and economy of central Europe.
