Treaty of Cambrai

The Treaty of Cambrai, signed in 1529, was an agreement mainly between France and the Holy Roman Empire (under Charles V) to settle their conflicts over territorial claims in Italy. It marked a temporary alliance against mutual enemies like Spain and the Papal States, and aimed to reduce warfare and strengthen their positions. The treaty was part of the complex political and military struggles of the Italian Wars, shifting alliances and territorial control among major European powers to maintain balance and prevent further conflict.
