Treaty of Berlin (1742)

1742 · 18th century · Also known as Peace of Berlin (1742) · Part of the First Silesian War

The Treaty of Berlin was signed on 28 July 1742 between Prussia and Austria, confirming the preliminary Treaty of Breslau of June and ending the First Silesian War. Maria Theresa ceded most of Silesia and the County of Glatz to Frederick II of Prussia, keeping only Teschen, Troppau and part of Jägerndorf. The settlement freed Austria to continue the War of the Austrian Succession against France and Bavaria.
