Treaty of Zsitvatorok

The Treaty of Zsitvatorok, signed in 1606, ended the long conflict between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire over control in Central Europe. It established a peace that recognized the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hungary under Habsburg rule while granting more autonomy to the region. The treaty marked a shift in power dynamics, with the Ottomans acknowledging Habsburg authority, leading to a period of relative stability in the region. This agreement is significant as it highlights the complex interplay of European politics and the decline of Ottoman influence in Central Europe during that era.
