Treaty of Warsaw (1745)

[clarification needed] It was an agreement between Great Britain, the Habsburg monarchy, the Dutch Republic and Saxony (the Quadruple Alliance) to uphold the pragmatic sanction enabling their favoured candidate Maria Theresa to take the throne of the Habsburg monarchy.

It also helped the Austro-Saxon alliance secure "the pecuniary support of the maritime powers by the treaty of Warsaw" (Horn, 34).

The treaty was for reconquering Silesia and "for cutting down that bad neighbor to something like the demensions proper for a Brandenburg vassal".

[1] The treaty also aimed to hold together in affairs of the Reich, unlike the Frankfurt Union, as "30,000 Saxons conjoined to the Austrian force for which the sea powers will furnish subsidy".

[3] The Allies were ultimately successful in securing recognition for Maria Theresa at the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle.
