Treaty of Campo Formio

The Treaty of Campo Formio, signed in 1797, marked the end of the War of the First Coalition between Revolutionary France and several European monarchies. Negotiated by Napoleon Bonaparte, the treaty recognized French territorial gains in Northern Italy and granted France control over Belgium. It also involved territorial exchanges between Austria and France, reshaping the political landscape of Europe. This agreement not only solidified Napoleon's power but also established France as a dominant force in European politics, setting the stage for further conflicts and changes in the years that followed.
