Treaty contrasts in Franco Dutch war aims and barriers
The article discusses how the French sought peace by specific demands while asserting that Spanish Netherlands towns offer a strategic barrier. It compares the 1670 and 1684 treaties, warns that France may leverage better terms now, and argues that unless the barrier towns hold, France could threaten the heart of the state. It emphasizes ongoing war momentum and the risk of a powerful enemy gaining advantage.
