Habsburg-occupied Serbia refers to the period between 1686 and 1691 of the Great Turkish War (1683–99), during which the territory of present-day Serbia (which was de jure Ottoman territory) was occupied by the Habsburg Monarchy.

History

Habsburg conquest of the territory of present-day Serbia started in 1686, with the conquest of north-eastern parts of Bačka. At the time, these territories were contested between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. By 1688, Habsburgs controlled western parts of present-day Vojvodina, as well as some areas in the south of the rivers Sava and Danube, while in 1690, Habsburg-controlled area included much of the territory of present-day Serbia.

The Habsburg withdrawal from the territory of present-day Serbia ran in parallel with the Great Serbian Migrations into Habsburg Monarchy.[1] It was followed by the Treaty of Karlowitz from 1699 (signed in Sremski Karlovci in present-day northern Serbia), under which Serbian nation and territory of present-day Serbia were divided between Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs. According to the Treaty, most of the territory of present-day Serbia remained within Ottoman Empire, while region of Bačka and part of the region of Syrmia were assigned to the Habsburg Monarchy.

Additional parts of the territory of present-day Serbia will be again placed under Habsburg administration (military rule) after 1718, when an tributary Habsburg Kingdom of Serbia will be established.
