1699

Treaty of Karlowitz

January 26, 1699

The Ottoman Empire, beaten by the Holy League, signed a peace at Karlowitz ceding most of Hungary to Austria, Podolia to Poland, the Morea to Venice, and Azov to Russia. It was the first treaty the Porte had signed as the admitted losing party. Ottoman decline was now a diplomatic fact.
