Treaty of Żurawno

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Treaty of Żurawno was signed on October 17, 1676 in Żurawno (in the aftermath of the battle of Żurawno) between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire, ended the second phase of the Polish-Ottoman War (1672-1676). It revised the 1672 Peace of Buczacz, and was more favorable to the Commonwealth, which no longer had to pay tribute, and regained about one third of the territories lost in the Buczacz treaty.

It also stipulated that the Lipka Tatars were to be given a free individual choice of whether they wanted to serve the Ottoman Empire or the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth.
