The Peace of Passarowitz, 1718

Jovan Pešalj, Charles Ingrao

Description

In the late spring of 1718 near the village of Pozarevac (German Passarowitz) in northern Serbia, freshly conquered by Habsburg forces, three delegations representing the Holy Roman Emperor, Ottoman Sultan, and the Republic of Venice gathered to end the conflict that had begun three and a half years earlier. The fighting had spread throughout southeastern Europe, from Hungary to the southernmost tip of the Peloponnese. The peace redrew the map of the Balkans, extending the reach of Habsburg power, all but expelling Venice from the Greek mainland, and laying the foundations for Ottoman revitalization during the Tulip period. In this volume, twenty specialists analyze the military background to and political context of the peace congress and treaty. They assess the immediate significance of the Peace of Passarowitz and its longer term influence on the society, demography, culture, and economy of central Europe.

This project really begins with local, EU, and Serbian government support for the 290th Anniversary Conference of the Peace of Passarowitz (1718). The city of Po arevac, together with the nearby Roman ruins of Viminacium and the surrounding region, constitutes a valuable historic site in its own right. Yet taking a retrospective look at the 1718 peace as its tercentenary approaches establishes why this city now deserves to host the commemoration of one of the turning points in early modern European history. The Passarowitz project also highlights the need to rethink not only this history, but also the looming centenaries of 1914 and 1918.
The international academic conference The Peace of Passarowitz 1718 represents the culmination of the work of the city s leading visionaries and institutions, as well as their appreciation of the future importance of a contemporary reanalysis of the historical spectacle commemorated here. Mr. Milorad or evi , director of the National Museum in Po arevac, initiated the project and provided the first crucial resources. It was his idea to hold this conference, and in it he invested his own vision, energy, and determination. These efforts position him ten years ahead of his time. The conference also received support from Po arevac City Hall. Both the Serbian Ministry of Science and Technology and the Faculty of Philosophy at Belgrade University furnished additional support. I also had the unique opportunity to bring on board my very dear friend and colleague Adele Mazzola, editor of the Southeastern Europe Review and publisher of the renowned Italian review of geopolitics, Limes Plus . I would be remiss not to mention the invaluable assistance offered by the Austrian Cultural Forum, for which I am truly grateful. My thanks also go to the Spanish and American embassies in Belgrade, both of which have supported me throughout my academic career. Always inspiring and reliable, my assistant and colleague Mr. Jovan Pe alj also played a crucial role. Everything else was smooth sailing.
The conference essentially covered the history of war and peace in Southeastern Europe between 1699 and 1739, when military events, diplomatic negotiations, and decisions made at Karlowitz (now Sremski Karlovci), Po arevac, and Belgrade helped shape modern international relations, international law, and international borders that replaced what were then only mythical frontiers. These developments also helped to bring new regions under the influence of modern Christian states and Baroque culture, albeit, in some cases, only temporarily. Although the conference focused chiefly on frontiers, treaties, and migration (a key factor in Serbian culture, collective identity, historical lexicography, and literature), it also touched on material and artistic culture, as well as the migration of styles, mentalities, knowledge, animals, plants, and diseases.
I also would like to take this opportunity to recall some of the fundamental events that led to the Peace Treaty of Passarowitz in 1718. The previous conference that resulted in the Peace of Karlowitz of 1699-also signed in present-day Serbia-was all but forgotten during the tragic events of 1999, as the country s social, economic, and political disintegration made any serious retrospection impossible. Yet the Karlowitz and Passarowitz peace treaties ended two devastating and pivotal wars that were confined exclusively neither to Southeastern Europe nor to relations between Austria, Venice, Rome, and the Ottoman Empire.
Finally, the American edition of this collection is the result of the considerable effort, knowledge, and interest that Charles Ingrao has invested in this conference. It is absolutely essential that readers from North America, Serbia and, above all, the former Yugoslavia become familiar with his endeavors to advance postconflict dialogue and cultural attitudes about the past-the immediate past especially. Purdue University Press has succeeded in wholly comprehending the full scope of his enterprise. Our thanks to Zrinka Bla evi . We also owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Karl Roider. A personal privilege of mine is my acquaintance with Paula Sutter Fichtner, and I am grateful for her contribution to this project.
