Which treaty ended the Ottoman–Venetian War of 1714–1718?

The story behind the answer

The Treaty of Passarowitz ended the Ottoman–Venetian War of 1714–1718. It was signed on 21 July 1718 at Požarevac, then known by its German name, Passarowitz, in present-day Serbia.

The war began when the Ottomans attacked Venetian possessions in the Morea, or Peloponnese, and recovered most of the territory Venice had conquered in the previous war. Austria later entered the conflict on Venice’s side, changing the war into a wider Ottoman–Habsburg struggle. Ottoman victories against Venice were offset by Austrian successes, especially at Petrovaradin and Belgrade.

The settlement required Venice to surrender the Morea and its remaining possessions in Crete, while the Habsburgs gained Belgrade, the Banat of Temeswar, northern Serbia and other territories. The Treaty of Karlowitz had ended the earlier Great Turkish War in 1699; the Treaty of Belgrade came later, in 1739.
