Peace of Rijswijk

The Peace of Rijswijk, signed in 1697, was a treaty that ended several ongoing conflicts between France, England, and the Dutch Republic during the late 17th century. It marked the conclusion of the Nine Years' War, establishing a balance of power in Europe by confirming France's territorial gains but preventing further expansion. The treaty helped restore peace among the major European nations and solidified borders, reducing immediate hostilities and influencing the continent's political landscape for years to come.
