György II Rákóczi, elected prince of Transylvania during his father's lifetime (February 19, 1642), succeeds his illustrious father György I as prince in October 1648 and continues his policy of seeking alliances with the hospodars (lords) of Moldavia to the east and Wallachia to the south, and with the Cossack hetman, Bohdan Khmelnytsky.
Transylvania gains mention as a sovereign state in the Peace of Westphalia, the European settlements of 1648 that bring to an end the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch and the German phase of the Thirty Years' War.
