May 1757 CE

...Nieuport—freeing up their Austrian garrisons to move east to attack Prussia.

This particularly alarms the British, who have long sought to prevent the French moving into the Low Countries.

The Treaty thus brings to an end the barrier that had existed for forty years.

The French intend to place on the throne of a new puppet state in the Southern Netherlands a Bourbon monarch from the Spanish branch of the dynasty, Duke Philip of Parma.

The treaty also serves to confirm a planned partition of Prussia that is to take place between Russia, Sweden and Saxony.
