    Modern 2006 memorial to the Peace of Zsitvatorok (Treaty of Sitvatorok), which ended the Fifteen Years' War between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy. It was part of a system of peace treaties to end the anti-Habsburg uprising of Stephen Bocskay (1604–1606), negotiated 24 October to 11 November 1606 at Situa Torock, at the former mouth of the Ε½itava River (Hungarian: Zsitva), which flows into the Danube in Royal Hungary (today part of Slovakia). This location later became the small settlement of Ε½itavskΓ‘ Tôňa (Hungarian: Zsitvatorok), a part of the municipality of Radvaň nad Dunajom (Hungarian: DunaradvΓ‘ny). The peace was signed for a term of 20 years. Differences between the Ottoman Turkish and the Hungarian texts of the treaty encouraged different interpretations, e.g. the Hungarians offered 200,000 florins as a once-and-for-all tribute (instead of the annual tributes of 30,000 guldens given before the war), whereas the Ottoman text foresaw repeated payment after three years. It prohibited Ottoman looting campaigns into Royal Hungary, and allowed Hungarian settlements under Ottoman rule to collect taxes themselves by means of village judges, while acknowledging the tax-free privilege of nobles. However, the Ottomans never really complied with these terms. The treaty was signed by Sultan Ahmed I and Archduke Matthias of Austria on behalf of the Holy Roman Empire. On 9 December, Matthias's brother the Emperor Rudolf II ratified the treaty. The Ottomans' inability to penetrate further into Habsburg territory (Royal Hungary) during the long war was one of their first geopolitical defeats. The stabilized conditions on the Habsburg-Ottoman frontier for half a century benefited parties. The Habsburgs would face serious domestic opposition during the following years; and the Ottomans had internal rebellion and open conflicts in other parts of their frontiers (Poland and Iran). For the first time the Ottoman sultan - who carried the title Kayser-i RΓ»m (Caesar of the Roman Empire) since the Fall of Constantinople - recognized the status equality of the Holy Roman Emperor by titling him Padishah (Emperor, "Master King"), which was the sultan's own title, accepting divisio imperii, in which imperial hegemony would be divided into West ( Holy Roman Empire) and East (Ottoman Empire). Before this, the Holy Roman Emperor was regarded as mere kΔ±ral (king) of Vienna in Ottoman diplomacy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Zsitvatorok
