The last and largest of the risings began on 6 May 1703 under Francis II Rákóczi, and for years his kuruc armies held most of today's Slovakia, including the mining towns whose silver paid for the war. A diet at Ónod declared the Habsburgs deposed in June 1707, but on 3 August 1708 the kuruc army was broken at Trenčín, losing some three thousand men, and never recovered; plague arriving in 1709 killed hundreds of thousands more. The Peace of Szatmár of 30 April 1711 ended the fighting on terms that pardoned the rebels and left the Habsburgs on the throne. Afterwards imperial commanders systematically blew up or pulled down castles a rebel garrison might use again — which is the real reason so many Slovak castles are ruins today, and why 'the Turks destroyed it' is so often the wrong answer.Posledné a najväčšie povstanie sa začalo 6. mája 1703 pod vedením Františka II. Rákociho a jeho kurucké vojská roky ovládali väčšinu dnešného Slovenska vrátane banských miest, ktorých striebro vojnu platilo. Snem v Ónode vyhlásil v júni 1707 Habsburgovcov za zosadených, no 3. augusta 1708 utrpeli kuruci pri Trenčíne porážku, v ktorej padlo asi tritisíc mužov, a už sa z nej nespamätali; mor, ktorý prišiel roku 1709, si vyžiadal ďalšie státisíce životov. Satmársky mier z 30. apríla 1711 boj ukončil: povstalcom dal milosť a Habsburgovcov nechal na tróne. Cisárski velitelia potom sústavne vyhadzovali do vzduchu a rozoberali hrady, ktoré by mohla znova obsadiť povstalecká posádka — a práve to je skutočný dôvod, prečo je dnes na Slovensku toľko zrúcanín a prečo je odpoveď „zbúrali to Turci“ tak často nesprávna.
