Abstract
At nine o’clock Saturday morning, 13 November 1698, an Ottoman diplomatic mission opened negotiations with the delegations representing the Holy League Powers (the Habsburg Monarchy, Poland, Muscovy and Venice) at the site of the ruined Serbian town of Karlowitz (Karlovoi Sremski in modern Yugoslavia).1 The occasion for this confrontation was the settlement of territorial claims and the differentiation of frontiers between the Habsburg Kaiser and his Allies on the one hand and the Sultan on the other, commencing the formal assessment of decisions which had been forced over the previous 14 years on the battlefields of eastern and southeastern Europe.
