Treaty of Hannover

The Treaty of Hannover, signed in 1716, was an agreement between Great Britain, Prussia, and the Dutch Republic aimed at maintaining stability in Europe following various conflicts. It established a defensive alliance against France and sought to limit French territorial ambitions. The treaty was part of broader efforts to balance power among European nations after the War of the Spanish Succession. It reflected the growing importance of alliances in European politics and set the stage for future cooperation between these nations in their ongoing struggles with France.
