Home > Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle

There were two Treaties of Aix-la-Chapelle. The first was in 1668, ending the War of Devolution; the second was in 1748, ending the War of Austrian Succession. These are sometimes known as Treaties of Aachen, since, "Aix-la-Chapelle" is the French name for the city of Aachen.

In the First Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle on the first Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, France gained control of Lille, from Spain, and returned the Franche-Comté, to Spain.

A second congress assembled at Aix-la-Chapelle on April 24, 1748 with the intent to conclude the struggle known as the War of Austrian Succession. The resulting treaty, the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, signed on October 18, 1748, ended that war.

France and BritainThe word Britain is used to refer to the United Kingdom (UK): i. the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (from 1927), the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ( 1801- 1927) or the United Kingdom of Great Britain ( 1707- 1801). mostly negotiated the treaty, and the other powers involved in the war followed their lead. The terms of the treaty were:
  1. a general restitution of conquests, including The Louisbourg fortress on Cape Breton IslandCape Breton Island (French: le du Cap-Breton Irish/Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Cheap Breatuinn Mi'kmaq: U'namakika is a large island on the Atlantic coast of North America.

  3. The restoration of the duke of Modena and the republic of Genoa to their former positions.
  4. The renewal in favour of Great Britain of the Asiento contract of the March 16, 1713, and of the right to send an annual vessel to the Spanish colonies.
  5. The guarantee to Kingdom of Prussia of the duchy of Silesia and the county of Glatz.

In the commercial struggle between England and France in the West Indies, Africa, and India, nothing was settled; the treaty was thus no basis for a lasting peace.

Spain later raised objections to the Asiento clauses, and the later Treaty of Madrid supplemented the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle on October 5, 1750. The Treaty of Madrid stipulated that Great Britain surrendered her claims under the Asiento clauses in return for a sum of £100,000.
