!!!Passarowitz

Passarowitz (now Požarevac), village in Yugoslavia, south of 
Belgrade. On July 21, 1718 a peace treaty was concluded between 
Karl VI and Venetia on the one hand and between Karl VI and 
Sultan Ahmed III on the other hand. Under this treaty the Ottoman 
Empire had to cede to Austria the Banat of Temesvár, Little 
Walachia (in what is Romania today), and northern Serbia with Belgrade 
and parts of Bosnia. In 1739 Austria lost these territories again, 
except for the Banat. Venetia was forced to surrender the Peloponnese 
peninsula, which it had conquered in 1715.
