Treaty of Madrid
The Treaty of Madrid, signed in 1526, was an agreement between the Kingdom of Spain and the Ottoman Empire, specifically addressing issues related to their territories and influence. After the Spanish defeated the Ottomans in battles, the treaty aimed to establish peace and outline boundaries, while also addressing the status of prisoners taken during conflicts. However, the treaty was short-lived, as tensions resumed, leading to further military confrontations. This treaty reflects the complex diplomatic relationships of the time and the ongoing power struggles in Europe and the Mediterranean.
