Treaty of Dresden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Dresden was signed on December 25, 1745 between Austria, Saxony and Prussia. Based on the terms of the agreement, Frederick II of Prussia acknowledged Francis I as Holy Roman Emperor. In return, Frederick II maintained control over Silesia, a territory taken from Austria after the Second Silesian War. Moreover, Saxony paid Prussia one million rix dollars (in reparations). Overall, the accord ratified and confirmed the tenets of both the Treaty of Breslau and the Treaty of Berlin. This accord brought the Second Silesian War to an official end.[1][2]
