Treaty of Dover

The Treaty of Dover, signed in 1670 between England and France, was an agreement that secretly stipulated England would support France's efforts against the Dutch in the ongoing wars, and in return, France would provide monetary aid and promise to convert King Charles II to Catholicism. The treaty aimed to strengthen their alliance against common enemies but remained secret at first. It reflected the political and religious tensions of the period, with England balancing between Catholic and Protestant interests. The treaty was kept hidden for some time, and its implications influenced European politics and conflicts during that era.
