Treaty of Prague

The Treaty of Prague, signed in 1866, was an agreement between Prussia and Austria that ended their conflict during the Austro-Prussian War. It resulted in Austria withdrawing from German affairs and recognizing Prussia's dominance over German states. The treaty allowed Prussia to unify most of Germany under its leadership, shaping the future of German-speaking Europe. It also marked the decline of Austria’s influence in the region and set the stage for the subsequent formation of the North German Confederation. Overall, it was a key step in the consolidation of a unified Germany under Prussian control.
