Congress of Nijmegen

The Congress of Nijmegen was a series of treaties signed between 1678 and 1679, ending various conflicts in Europe, particularly involving France, Spain, the Netherlands, and the Holy Roman Empire. It aimed to restore balance by returning territories to their pre-war states and establishing peace among the nations. These agreements were part of France’s efforts to expand its influence while preventing any single power from dominating Europe, shaping the continent's political landscape for years to come.
