Truce of Regensburg

The Truce of Regensburg, signed in 1684, was a temporary agreement between the Holy Roman Empire and France. It aimed to resolve territorial disputes that had arisen from France's "reunions" policy, where it claimed territories based on historical rights. The truce recognized French possession of Alsace and Luxembourg for a period of 20 years. However, it did not permanently settle the underlying issues and was eventually superseded by later conflicts and treaties, such as the Peace of Westphalia which established a new European order. The Truce of Regensburg was a pragmatic, short-term solution in a complex geopolitical landscape.12
