BUDA EXPUGNATA (RESUME) With this volume, the Municipal Archives of Budapest celebrates the liberation of Buda from the 150 years of Turkish occupation, by providing information on the reference material extant in Hungary concerning the liberation of the city and the entire country. (Parallel with this undertaking, the exploration and publication of reference material available in the other countries of Europe, concerning the liberation war in Hungary, took place with the fine cooperation of the archives and other public collections of several European countries; this material was published in a separate double volume: Buda expugnata. Europa et Hungária 1683-1718.) The liberation war against the Turks was a vital turn in the history of Hungary. This provides the conditions (namely, with ending the Turkish rule on the largest part of pre-1526 Hungary) that Hungary's economy should develop in peace in an area which was earlier the arena of war and partly a military parade ground, and compared to the era and the country's regional situation in Europe, normalized socio-political relations should develop and continue to be the stable foundations of Hungary's further progress - at the expense of considerable sacrifices. Hungary and Transylvania, which how also came under the rule of the Hungarian king, primarily carried the financial burdens of the war, but with the ultimate efforts of its abilities. The negative features of integration into the Habsburg Empire were primarily painful to Transylvania. However, for the entire country the liberation war was primarily a positive feature. The war against the Turks (after the 1681-1682 preambles, during which the Turks, Mihály Apafi I, Prince of Transylvania, and Thököly, who won the principality of Upper Hungary in 1682, fought against the Habsburg Empire) started in the autumn of 1683, with liberating Vienna from the Turkish siege. In 1684, for example, Pest was also occupied by the Christian armies fighting against the Turks (the siege of Buda in 1684 was yet unsuccessful). The capital of pre-1526 Hungary was liberated from Turkish rule on September 2, 1686. For the coming years, the successors of the Christian armies characterized the war, until the forces of the Austrian Habsburg Empire were not occupied by another war against Louis XIV. In the meantime, Transylvania was secured with the military garrisoning of the Habsburg troops. Launching the war against France gave breathing space for the Turkish Empire, and some opportunity to hit back. (For a short time, Transylvania was taken over by Thököly, and the Habsburg Empire lost the occupied areas in the Balkans.) Finally, the situation became balanced on the Turkish front, and after ending the war against France (1697) the Austrian Habsburgs entered into a peace treaty with the Porta (Karlóca 1699), which ensured their upper hand over the Hungarian areas earlier occupied by the Turks (with the exception of the Bánság, namely, the area between the rivers Duna - Tisza - and Maros) and the Transylvanian principality, which was earlier dependent on the Turks. The entire liberation of the pre-1526 area of the Hungarian state was the result of another successful war against the Turks: the 1716—1718 war in alliance with the Russians and Venice. The following 1718 peace treaty in Pozsarevác also handed over the Bánság to the Habsburg Empire. 396
