Treaty of the Hague (1674)
The Treaty of The Hague (1674) was an agreement between France and the Dutch Republic during the Franco-Dutch War. It aimed to restore peace by reaffirming mutual borders and resolving conflicts. France agreed to withdraw some military forces, while the Dutch maintained their independence and territorial integrity. The treaty helped de-escalate hostilities and temporarily stabilize the region, though underlying tensions remained. It marked a diplomatic effort to address issues through negotiation rather than continued warfare, reflecting the complex balance of power in Europe at the time.
