Timeline

  1. 1664Saint Gotthard · HungaryThe Habsburg coalition under Montecuccoli defeated the Ottoman advance at Saint Gotthard; the tactical victory did not alter the strategic balance, and Emperor Leopold I, under financial and alliance pressures, sought a swift peace settlement.
  2. 1664Vasvár · HungaryThe two sides signed a twenty-year truce at Vasvár; the Habsburgs paid tribute to the Ottomans and recognized their suzerainty over Transylvania, while the Hungarian frontier broadly remained as before the war, laying the groundwork for relative calm on the frontier in the mid-to-late 1660s.
