The Peace of Zsitvatorok (1606)

The Ottoman-Habsburg war that began in 1593 dragged on for thirteen years in Hungary and is known as the Long War. Neither side gained a decisive advantage. At the same time the Ottomans faced the Celali revolts in Anatolia and war with the Safavids in the east, while the Habsburgs faced István Bocskai's uprising in Hungary.

Talks were held in October and November 1606 at the mouth of the Zsitva where it joins the Danube (near Radvaň nad Dunajom in today's Slovakia), and the peace was signed on 11 November. The Habsburgs paid 200,000 florins and the earlier yearly tribute ended. Sultan Ahmed I agreed to call the Habsburg ruler an "emperor" of equal rank in his documents. The Crimean Khanate was named separately in the treaty as an Ottoman vassal.

The peace was concluded for 20 years but brought about half a century of stability to the Ottoman-Habsburg frontier. Differences between the Ottoman and Hungarian texts, such as whether the payment was to be repeated, later caused disputes.
