Peace of Lunéville

The Peace of Lunéville was a treaty signed in 1801 that ended hostilities between France and Austria during the French Revolutionary Wars. It confirmed France’s territorial gains, including areas in Italy and the Netherlands, and redrew parts of Europe’s borders. The agreement also reduced Austria’s influence in Italy and the Low Countries, helping Napoleon Bonaparte strengthen France’s position in Europe. Essentially, it was a diplomatic resolution that shaped European borders and established France’s dominance in the region at that time.
