What did each of the Ottoman Empire's opponents gain from the Treaty of Karlowitz?
Austria gained Hungary, Croatia and Slavonia, Poland regained Podolia, and Venice took the Peloponnesus and most of Dalmatia.
The treaty was concluded between the Ottoman Empire on one side and Austria, Poland and Venice on the other. The Ottomans ceded all of Hungary, including Transylvania but not the Banat of Temesvár, along with Croatia and Slavonia, to Austria. Podolia passed to Poland, and the Peloponnesus and most of Dalmatia passed to Venice. Russia, also at war with the Ottomans, concluded a separate peace in 1700. The Venetian gains were lost again at the Treaty of Passarowitz in 1718.
