The 'Long War' or 'Thirteen Years' War' (
July 29,
1593 -
1604/
November 11,
1606) was one of the numerous wars between the
Habsburg Monarchy and the
Ottoman Empire that took place after the
Battle of Mohács.
Participants of the war were the Habsburgs,
Transylvania,
Wallachia,
Moldavia (with the aid of the Holy Roman Empire, Ferrara, Toscana, Mantua and the
Papal State) and the
Ottoman Empire.
The war started on July 29, 1593 when the Ottoman army under
Sinan Pasha launched a military campaign against the Habsburg monarchy, continued with the
Battle of Keresztes on October 24-26, 1596, and it ended with the
Peace of Žitava on November 11, 1606. The war mostly was fought in
Royal Hungary (mostly in present-day southern Slovakia), the Ottoman Empire (mostly in
Transdanubia and present-day
Croatia) and in present day southern
Romania. The last phase of the war (1604 - 1606) corresponds to the uprising of
Stephen Bocskay.
