The Treaty of Luneville: Confirming and Refining the Status Quo

The Treaty of Luneville, signed in February 1801, confirmed and refined the previous Treaty of Campo Formio, strengthening French positions established by the earlier treaty. French hegemony over northwestern Italy was confirmed, along with Austrian control over northeastern Italy. The treaty also confirmed French conquests in Germany west of the Rhine, establishing a new border between the French Republic and the Holy Roman Empire. Despite the minor adjustments and provisions regarding fortifications and navigation rights, the treaty mostly reaffirmed the existing terms of the previous peace agreement.
