Great Turkish War, Battle of Zenta, 1697

The Battle of Zenta, fought on September 11, 1697 just south of Zenta, on the east side of the Tisa river, was a major engagement in the Great Turkish War (1683-99) and one of the most decisive defeats in Ottoman history. In a surprise attack, Habsburg Imperial forces routed the Ottoman army which was crossing the river. At the cost of a few hundred losses, the Habsburg forces inflicted thousands of casualties on the Ottomans, dispersed the remainder and captured the Ottoman treasure. As an immediate consequence, the Ottoman Empire lost control over Banat, while in the long run, the Habsburg victory at Zenta was the last decisive step to force the Ottoman Empire into the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699), ending the Ottoman control of large parts of Central Europe. The Great Turkish War was a series of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and several contemporary European powers. The war was a defeat for the Ottoman Empire, which lost large amounts of territory in Central Europe. The Ottoman-Habsburg wars were fought from the 16th through the 18th centuries between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg (later Austrian) Empire, which was at times supported by the Holy Roman Empire, Kingdom of Hungary and Habsburg Spain.
