Treaty of Passarowitz
With the signing of the Treaty of Passarowitz (Požarevac; Pojarevaț) on 21 July 1718, the Habsburg war with the Ottoman Empire came to a close. Following the expulsion of the Turks, the regions north of the Danube became part of the Habsburg Empire. In fact, the area between Mureş, Tisa, Danube, and the Carpathians received the name Banat, becoming an Austrian province.
