Treaty of Perpetual Peace

The Treaty of Perpetual Peace, signed in 1459 between the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England, aimed to establish a lasting peace between the two nations, which had a history of conflict. This treaty sought to end hostilities and created a framework for diplomatic relations, including trade and mutual defense. It was significant because it represented an early attempt at a formal agreement to ensure peace, emphasizing cooperation instead of ongoing warfare. Although the treaty was not fully effective in maintaining peace long-term, it set a precedent for future diplomatic efforts between nations.
