Treaty of Versailles (1758)

However, it also revoked the 1757 treaty's agreement to create an independent state in the Austrian Netherlands, ruled by Philip, Duke of Parma; it would remain under Austrian rule.

France, which was expecting a swift victory against Prussia because of a coalition with Austria, Russia, Sweden and Saxony, was caught up with the reality of the war.

Although the decision to install a Bourbon monarch in the Austrian Netherlands was revoked, the treaty greatly hastened the ever-increasing desire of the coalition not only to defeat but also to destroy Prussia.

The treaty seems to serve more as a moral guarantee to the coalition than an actual alliance, as the coalition suffered an undisputed string of defeats in the hand of the British and Prussia from 1759.
