By applying this style you are setting the template for all buttons.
But there it is not defined how the content must be displayed.
Therefore the button seems to have disappeared.

XAML

<Window.Resources>
	<Style TargetType="Button">
		<Setter Property="Template">
			<Setter.Value>
				<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
					<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
						<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
							<Setter Property="Background" Value="#733847"></Setter>
						</Trigger>
						<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
							<Setter Property="Background" Value="#3b1922"></Setter>
						</Trigger>
						<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
							<Setter Property="Background" Value="#592533"></Setter>
						</Trigger>
					</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
				</ControlTemplate>
			</Setter.Value>
		</Setter>
	</Style>
</Window.Resources>

It is assumed that you just want to change the background when e.g. the mouse is over the button.
Here is how to accomplish that.

XAML

<Window.Resources>
	<Style TargetType="Button">
		<Style.Triggers>
			<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
				<Setter Property="Background" Value="#733847"></Setter>
			</Trigger>
			<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
				<Setter Property="Background" Value="#3b1922"></Setter>
			</Trigger>
			<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
				<Setter Property="Background" Value="#592533"></Setter>
			</Trigger>
		</Style.Triggers>
	</Style>
</Window.Resources>
