July
Representatives from Austria, Prussia, the Dutch Republic, and Poland meet at Reichenbach (present-day Dzierzoniów) in 1790 to discuss the Ottoman wars in Europe.
The Treaty of Reichenbach is signed on July 27 between Frederick William II of Prussia and Austria under Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II.
The two countries tries to settle their differences; specifically, Leopold attempts to be conciliatory toward Prussia, as Austria and Russia have recently made gains against the Ottoman Empire.
Based on the terms of the treaty, Austria agrees to restore all conquered territories to the Ottoman Empire.
Moreover, Austria agrees to grant the Belgians both amnesty and their old constitution.
The Prussian statesman, Count Ewald Friedrich of Hertzberg, manages to insert a clause whereby Austria will be able to make small acquisitions of Ottoman territory.
However, Austria must first receive permission from the Sublime Porte and must also allow Prussia to acquire an equivalent amount of Ottoman territory.
Even though Austria had to relinquish its conquered territories to the Ottoman Empire, it is allowed to retain its garrison in Chotin.
Moreover, the accord guarantees protection of the Bosnian frontier.
In return for these concessions, Prussia makes herself responsible for several stipulated compensations.
In another aspect of the treaty, Austria is not allowed to overtly or covertly support Russia in its campaigns against the Sublime Porte.
