The Peace of Utrecht, which resulted in Imperial control of the Netherlands, in actuality was a series of treaties, the overall effect of which was to put an end to the French expansionism which had been plaguing Europe since the Thirty Years War in the previous century. One codicil required Louis XIV to recognize the English succession established by the House of Hanover. Another, with Spain, allowed that Britain would have sole right to the slave trade in Spanish America. One of the last treaties comprising the Peace, the Treaty of Baden (1714), confirmed Austria's ownership of the former Spanish Netherlands.
Estimated Value $800 - 900.
