Treaty demands by States General on Spanish Netherlands terms
The Utrecht arrears reveal a demand for the Spanish Netherlands to be restored and governed under Habsburg sovereignty. The proposed peace assigns towns and fortresses to the States, with explicit prohibitions on future cession to France, and requires evacuation and transfer of many strategic locations within fifteen days after ratifications. The document articulates extensive territorial provisions, fortifications, archives, and defensive barriers to secure Dutch and imperial interests.
