Treaty of Vienna (1731)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Vienna was first signed on March 16, 1731 by Count Finzendorf and the Earl of Chesterfield. This treaty marked the collapse of the Anglo-French Alliance (1727-1731), the beginning of the Anglo-Austrian Entente and the birth of the legend of the natural enmity between France and England. The Treaty pitted France and Spain on one side against Great Britain and Austria on the other.

The Spanish, specifically, signed the treaty on July 22, 1731. The treaty also recognized Charles of Borbón y Farnese as the Duke of Parma.
