The Long Turkish War (German: Langer Türkenkrieg), Long War (Hungarian: Hosszú háború; Serbo-Croatian: Дуги рат, romanized: Dugi rat), or Thirteen Years' War was an indecisive land war between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire, primarily over the principalities of Wallachia, Transylvania, and Moldavia.[8] It was waged from 1593 to 1606, but in Europe, it is sometimes called the Fifteen Years War (Hungarian: Tizenöt éves háború), reckoning from the 1591–1592 Turkish campaign that captured Bihać. In Turkey, it is called the Ottoman–Austrian War of 1593–1606 (Turkish: 1593-1606 Osmanlı-Avusturya Savaşı).[9]
In the series of Ottoman wars in Europe, it was the major test of force in the time period between the Ottoman–Venetian War (1570–1573) and the Cretan War (1645–1669). The next of the major Ottoman–Habsburg wars was the Austro-Turkish War (1663–1664). Overall, the conflict consisted in a large number of costly battles and sieges, but with little gain on either side.
