The Peace of Füssen ((ドイツ語:Frieden von Füssen)) was a peace treaty signed at Füssen,〔Füssen then belonged to the neutral Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg. It was annexed by Bavaria in the early 19th century.〕 between the Electorate of Bavaria and Habsburg Austria. Signed on 22 April 1745, it ended the participation of Bavaria on the French side in the War of the Austrian Succession. ==Background== After the conquest of Prague by Bavarian and French troops on 26 November 1741, Elector Charles Albert of Bavaria, with French and Prussian support, declared himself King of Bohemia and was elected Emperor Charles VII on 24 January 1742. Charles Albert was then crowned on 12 February.〔Robert A. Kann, ''A History of the Habsburg Empire, 1526-1918'', University of California Press, 1974, pp. 96-97.〕 On the same day as his coronation in Frankfurt, however, Austrian troops occupied Bavaria and Hungarian hussars plundered Munich and the Bavarians were forced also to evacuate Bohemia which they had occupied for a few months.〔Kann, p. 97.〕 With French assistance, Charles VII fought Austria for three years, but was unable to secure victory. When Charles VII died in Munich on the 20th of January, 1745, his successor as Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian III Joseph, signed a preliminary peace with Austria. But a strong war-party led by Ignaz von Törring and supported by France wanted to continue the war. After the decisive defeat in the Battle of Pfaffenhofen on 15 April, Maximilian Joseph chose for peace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Treaty of Füssen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
