Battle of Petrovaradin

The Battle of Petrovaradin took place on 5 August 1716 during the Austro-Turkish War, after the Ottoman army began to lay siege to the Habsburgs-controlled fortress of Petrovaradin on the Military Frontier of the Habsburg Monarchy . The Ottomans, prepared to capture Petrovaradin, the so-called Gibraltar on the Danube, experienced a heavy defeat by an army half the size of their own, similar to the defeat they had experienced in 1697 at Zenta. Ottoman Grand Vizier Damad Ali Pasha was fatally wounded, the Ottoman army lost 20,000 men and 250 guns to a Christian army, made mostly of veterans from the Flanders campaign, led by Field Marshal Prince Eugene of Savoy. The Austrians consolidated this victory by marching into the Banat and besieging Temesvár the last remaining Turkish fortress in Hungary followed by Belgrade.
In the Summer of 1715, the Ottoman Empire started to reclaim the Peloponnese, which went to the Venice Republic after the Karlowitz Treaty in 1699. The Turks lead by Grand Vizier Damat Ali Pasha easily reconquered the Venetian Kingdom of the Morea . Having made an alliance with Venice in April 1716, Austria demanded full withdrawal from the Ottoman empire as well as compensation to Venice for the continued violation of the stipulations of the Karlowitz treaty; the Ottoman grand-vizier, confident that he could defeat the Habsburg and even regain Hungary, responded by declaring war on 15 May 1716.
