The Peace of Prague, signed on 23 August 1866, ended the Austro-Prussian War. Austria accepted the dissolution of the German Confederation and its own exclusion from German affairs, leaving Prussia free to annex Hanover, Hesse-Kassel, Nassau, Frankfurt and Schleswig-Holstein and to form the North German Confederation. Austria also confirmed the cession of Venetia, which passed to Italy through France.
