Brill has published a new book on the Treaties of Carlowitz (1699).
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Treaties of Carlowitz (1699)
includes recent studies on the Lega Sacra War of 1683-1699 against the Ottoman
Empire, the Peace treaties of Carlowitz (1699), and on the general impact of
the conflict upon Modern Europe and the Balkans. With its contributions written
by well-known international specialists in the field, the volume demonstrates
that sometimes important conflicts tend to be forgotten with time, overshadowed
by more spectacular wars, peace congresses or diplomatic alliances. The “Long
War” of 1683-1699 is a case in point. By re-thinking and re-writing the history
of the conflict and the subsequent peacemaking between a Christian alliance and
the Ottoman state at the end of the 17th century, new perspectives, stretching
into the present era, for the history of Europe, the Balkans and the Near East
are brought into discussion.
