After this Treaty, Great Britain was the sole nation still at war with France
Austria makes peace with France.
Forced to sue for peace, the Austrians signed another in a series of humiliating treaties. This Treaty (along with the Treaty of Amiens of 1802) marked the end of the Second Coalition against Napoleon.
Joseph Bonaparte signed for France, whereas Count Ludwig von Cobenzl, the Austrian Foreign Minister, signed for the Emperor.
The Austrian army had been defeated by Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Marengo on 14 June 1800 and then by Jean Victor Moreau at the Battle of Hohenlinden on 3 December.
The signatory parties were the French Republic and Holy Roman Emperor Francis II, who was negotiating on his own behalf as ruler the hereditary domains of the Habsburg Monarchy and also on behalf of the other rulers who controlled territories within the Holy Roman Empire.
