Treaty of Westphalia: October 24, 1648

A peace treaty between the Holy Roman Emperor and the King of France and their respective Allies.

The peace marked the end of the supremacy of the Holy Roman Empire and the emergence of France as a dominant power. It recognized the sovereignty of the German states, Switzerland, and the Netherlands; Lutherans, Calvinists, and Roman Catholics were given equal rights.
