Peace of Leoben
It was signed at Eggenwaldsches Gartenhaus, near Leoben, on 18 April 1797 (29 germinal V in the French revolutionary calendar) by General Maximilian von Merveldt and the Marquis of Gallo on behalf of the Emperor Francis II and by General Napoléon Bonaparte on behalf of the French Directory.He requested the armistice be extended so that a preliminary peace could be signed, which was granted, and three proposals were drawn up.The final one was accepted by both sides, and on 18 April at Leoben, the preliminary peace was signed.In the public articles, the Emperor ceded his "Belgian Provinces" (the Austrian Netherlands), and in the secret articles, he ceded his Italian states (Lombardy) in exchange for the Italian mainland possessions of the Republic of Venice, which had not yet been conquered.No final peace between the Holy Roman Empire and France was reached before the outbreak of the War of the Second Coalition in 1799.
