    The peace treaty was formally signed in Požarevac on 21 July 1718, ending the conflict between the Ottoman Empire and its adversaries.

Background and detail

Military Context. The treaty followed a period of mixed military results between 1714 and 1718. While the Ottomans achieved successes against Venice in Greece and Crete, they suffered a decisive defeat at Petrovaradin in 1716 at the hands of Habsburg forces led by Prince Eugene of Savoy.

Territorial Cessions. The agreement mandated the transfer of several Ottoman territories to the Habsburgs. Specifically, the cession of Belgrade, Syrmia, and the Eyalet of Temesvár marked the end of Ottoman occupation within the Kingdom of Hungary and granted Habsburg control over northern Serbia.

Political Impact. In Vienna, the treaty was regarded as an extraordinary success and a source of national pride. It formally concluded the Austro-Turkish War of 1716–1718 and redefined the political landscape of the region by shifting control of key territories to the Habsburg monarchy.
