Ryswick Peace of 1697

    0.01 sec.
Ryswick Peace of 1697 

a treaty that ended the war of 1688–97 between France and the League of Augsburg. It consisted of a series of agreements concluded in Ryswick (Rijswijk, near The Hague) between France and Great Britain (September 20), France and Holland (September 20), France and Spain (September 20), and France and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, as well as with individual German princes (October 30).

In accordance with the treaty France renounced most of the territories that it had captured after the Nijmegen peace talks of 1678–79. It returned to Spain almost all the territory captured in Catalonia and in the Spanish Netherlands. It also ceded territories to the empire, including Freiburg im Breisgau and Philipps-burg. Strasbourg and other Alsatian lands remained in France’s possession. The treaty was abrogated in 1701 by the War of the Spanish Succession.
