The Treaty of Nancy

The Treaty of Nancy, signed in 1738, was an agreement between France and the Holy Roman Empire during the War of the Polish Succession. It aimed to settle territorial disputes and end hostilities by reaffirming existing borders and recognizing certain territorial claims. Essentially, it was a diplomatic effort to restore peace and stabilize relations between the involved powers, clarifying who held control over specific regions in Central Europe. The treaty helped lay groundwork for future negotiations and contributed to the broader diplomatic landscape of 18th-century Europe.
