Nijmegen, Treaties of (sh)




(1678-79) Peace treaties that ended the Franco-Dutch War.

In the treaty between France and the Dutch Republic, France agreed to return Maastricht and to suspend the anti-Dutch tariff of 1667. In the treaty between France and Spain, Spain gave up regions to France that gave it a protected northeastern border and secured the safety of Paris. By negotiating separate treaties, France gained advantages over its enemies in the war.
