Treaty of Várad

The Treaty of Várad, signed in 1538, was an agreement between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary, aimed at stabilizing their border and resolving conflicts. It established a peaceful border along the Drava River and allowed the Hungarian king to retain control over certain territories while recognizing Ottoman influence over others. The treaty helped prevent further violence for several years, but it was temporary, reflecting the ongoing power struggles in the region. Overall, it was a strategic move to maintain peace and mutual stability amidst the complex political landscape of 16th-century Central Europe.
