What happened at the Peace of Westphalia
The Peace of Westphalia refers to three treaties signed in Osnabruck and Munster in 1648, closing the Thirty Years' War, a devastating conflict that had ravaged Central Europe since 1618, and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic. The settlement recognized the sovereignty of the Dutch Republic and Switzerland, granted German princes greater autonomy within the Holy Roman Empire, and affirmed the principle that each state could determine its own religious policy among Catholic, Lutheran, and Calvinist faiths. Millions had died from fighting, famine, and disease during the war. Westphalia is often cited as a foundation of the modern state system, based on territorial sovereignty and negotiated peace among nations.
