Treaty of Schönbrunn

Encyclopedia : T : TR : TRE : Treaty of Schönbrunn

The Treaty of Schönbrunn was signed between France and Austria in 1809, ending the Fifth Coalition during the Napoleonic Wars, at the Schönbrunn Palace.

Austria had been decisively defeated, and France imposed harsh peace terms. Austria recognized Napoleon's previous conquests from other nations as well as recognizing Napoleon's brother Joseph Bonaparte as King of Spain. Austria ceded Tyrol and Salzburg to Bavaria, parts of Poland to the Duchy of Warsaw, and Trieste and Dalmatia south of the Sava River to France (see Illyrian provinces). Austria also paid to France a large indemnity and the Austrian army was reduced to 150,000 men (this promise was not held).
