Quick Summary

The Peace of Badajoz was a treaty signed in June 1801, ending the brief War of the Oranges between Spain and Portugal. This conflict was initiated by Napoleon's demands for Portugal to align politically and economically with France, which Portugal refused. French and Spanish troops invaded Portugal in April 1801. Following a Spanish victory at Olivenza, Portugal negotiated the treaty. Key terms included Portugal closing its ports to English ships, granting commercial concessions to France, ceding Olivenza to Spain, and ceding a portion of Brazil to France, along with paying an indemnity. The Afṭasid dynasty, a Muslim Berber dynasty, ruled in Badajoz, Spain, from 1022 to 1094, during a period of disunity after the fall of the Umayyad caliphate of Córdoba.12
