Treaty of Vasvar

The Treaty of Vasvár, signed in 1664, was a peace agreement between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs that concluded the Austro-Turkish War. Despite a significant Austrian victory at the Battle of Saint Gotthard, the treaty largely recognized the Ottoman Empire's territorial gains. This outcome was deeply unpopular in Hungary, as it allowed Ottoman control over parts of the country to continue. The treaty's terms fueled resentment against Habsburg rule and contributed to subsequent anti-Habsburg revolts, such as the Wesselényi Conspiracy. The dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Vasvár ultimately played a role in the larger conflicts that led to the eventual liberation of Hungary from Ottoman control in the late 17th century.12
