The Treaty of Campo Formio, signed on October 17, 1797, concluded Napoleon Bonaparte’s first Italian campaign and significantly altered the map of Europe.1

Gains

In compensation for its losses, Austria received the following territories:
* Venetian lands located east of the Adige River, including the city of Venice, Istria, and Dalmatia.1
* A French promise to support Austrian acquisition of Salzburg and portions of Bavaria.1

Losses

Austria was forced to relinquish significant territories and influence:
* Its Belgian provinces were ceded to France.1
* It lost its possessions in Lombardy.1
* Austria agreed to allow France to annex occupied territories on the left bank of the Rhine River, stretching from Basel to Andernach.1

This settlement effectively marked the end of the First Coalition against France, leaving only Britain in a state of hostility.1
