Hi, classmates! Today I want to explain you ''The Treaty of the Pyrenees''.
The Treaty of the Pyrenees was signed on 7 November 1659 to end the war between France and the Hispanic Monarchy. This was a war that was initially a part of the wider Thirty Year's War. It was signed on Pheasant Island, a river island on the border between the two countries which has remained a French-Spanish condominium since the treaty. The kings Louis XIV of France and Philip IV of Spain were represented by their representatives .
In this photo you can see the geopolitical effects of the Treaty of Pyrenees.

In 1660, most of the European continent was at peace and the Bourbons had prevailed over the Habsburgs. In the Pyrenees, the treaty resulted in the establishment of border customs and restriction of free cross-border flow of people and goods.

Finally, France annexed territories on both its northern and southern borders.

France entered the Thirty Years' War after the Spanish Habsburg victories . By 1640 France began to interfere in Spanish politics, aiding the revolt in Catalonia, while Spain in response aided the Fronde revolt in France in 1648. During the negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, France gained the Sundgau and cut off Spanish access to the Netherlands from Austria, leading to open warfare between the French and Spanish.
After over ten years of war, an Anglo-French alliance was victorious at the Battle of the Dunes in 1658 and peace was settled by means of this treaty in 1659.
