Years: 1708 - 1719
Western forces had routed a Turkish army besieging Vienna in 1683, then begin driving the Turks from Europe.
In the 1699 Treaty of Karlowitz, the Turks cede most of Hungary, Croatia, and Slavonia to Austria, and by 1718 they no longer threaten Dalmatia.
During the advance, Austria expands its military border, and thousands of Serbs fleeing Turkish oppression settle as border guards in Slavonia and southern Hungary.
As the Turkish threat wanes, Croatian nobles demand reincorporation of the military border into Croatia.
Austria, which uses the guards as an inexpensive standing military force, rejects these demands, and the guards themselves oppose abrogation of their special privileges.
