Peace of Vasvár The Peace of Vasvár was a treaty between the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire which followed the Battle of Saint Gotthard of August 1 , 1664 ( near Mogersdorf , Burgenland ) , and concluded the Austro - Turkish War ( 1663 - 1664 ) . It held for about 20 years , until 1683 , during which border skirmishing escalated to a full - scale war and culminated with the Ottoman ' s siege of Vienna for the second time . At the moment of signing the Habsburg monarchy was in a better position than the Ottoman military - wise . Instead of maintaining initiative and momentum , negotiations began , fighting stopped and peace was signed . In fact , Leopold I , Holy Roman Emperor wanted to conclude a peace in order to be better prepared against France . But the factions within the Monarchy insisted on further operations , particularly Croats and Hungarians , mainly because most of their territory was in Ottoman hands so they wanted to use the opportunity to reclaim their land . The noble Croatian families Zrinski and Frankopan viewed the treaty as particularly supplicating to the Ottomans , with them actually having to give the territories that had just been liberated back to the Ottomans as terms of the treaty , some of which belonged to them before occupation . This caused internal strife and instability in the Monarchy which would eventually culminate with the rebellion of the two Croatian noble families and Hungarian nobles led by Ferenc Rákóczi I against the king of Hungary ( also Emperor to the German states in the monarchy ) . With this peace treaty , Ottoman control of Transylvania and Uyvar was recognized , as well as the Austrian Empire becoming obliged to pay war reparations to the Ottoman Empire . This was the only time the French king , a traditional ally of the Ottomans since king Francis I of France fought against them . It was , also , one of the major factors in the Habsburgs ' decision , as the much more valuable estates in the Holy Roman Empire and Italy were threatened by France .

Centro Superior de Información de la Defensa Centro Superior de Información de la Defensa ( Spanish for : " Superior Center of Defense Information " ) ( CESID ) was the Spanish intelligence agency before the current Centro Nacional de Inteligencia ( CNI ) took over as its successor in 2002 . History . Was once the principal intelligence agency of Spain , created in 1977 to replace the intelligence organizations of the Francoist period ( SECED ) . These included the Political - Social Brigade — a special branch of the plainclothes corps — and the Intelligence Service of the Civil Guard . With their files on every part of the rural and urban population , these bodies carried on close surveillance and political intimidation on behalf of the Franco regime . By a royal decree of January 1984 , CESID was defined legally as the intelligence agency of the prime minister . Nevertheless , it was fundamentally military in nature , and its head in 1988 was an army lieutenant general , Emilio Alonso Manglano . Observers speculated , however , that Manglano , who had held the post since 1981 , eventually would be succeeded by a civilian . Employing about 2 , 000 individuals as of 1988 , CESID was staffed primarily by the military , supplemented by 500 members of the Civil Guard and by 80 plainclothes police . About 30 percent of the members of the staff were civilians , said to be selected usually from among close relatives of military officers . Women had been confined largely to administrative tasks , but they were increasingly being entrusted with operational assignments . The principal operating units were domestic intelligence ; foreign intelligence ; counterintelligence ; economics and technology ( primarily industrial espionage ) ; and operational support ( principally application of devices for surveillance and eavesdropping ) . Considerable emphasis in external intelligence was allotted to North Africa and to the security of Ceuta and Melilla . Liaison was maintained with a number of intelligence services of North African and Middle Eastern nations , as well as with the Israeli agency , Mossad . Interception of ship transmissions in the strait area was another focus of activity . Domestic intelligence centered on exposure of plots against the government , monitoring activities of unrecognized political parties , and counterterrorism . Although CESID was the senior agency , it did not have a firmly established coordinating function over other intelligence bodies , which included the General Headquarters of Information of the Ministry of Defense ; the second sections of the army , the air force , and the navy staffs ; and the Civil Guard Information Service , dedicated to criminal and terrorist intelligence . In addition , the National Police Corps had a General Commissariat of Intelligence , with an antiterrorist mission that included a Foreign Intelligence Brigade to investigate international terrorism aimed against Spain . Considerable rivalry and overlapping of missions characterized the entire intelligence system . CESID , in particular , was reported to be seeking to gain exclusive jurisdiction over police foreign intelligence activities .
