The Treaty of Nuremberg (1574)

As the nations of Europe have been fighting for 23 years neither them or their people had any will left to continue the war.This vulnerabilty on both sides has lead to the signature of the Treaty of Nuremberg in 20th June 1574

The negotiations were not without tension and arguments and at one point the Polish ambassador has even hit the Russian ambassador who also hit back causing a huge brawl.The most important achievement of the treaty is of course the creation of a unified German state led by Bavaria.

Even though Bavaria was the dominant state within Germany however the Bavarians decided to make Cologne the national capital as it was much more popolous back then than Munich, plus it's also easier to manage the country from there due to it's more central location.

It's also worth noting that before the start of the war the Bavarian king promised that any noble who will support him will be allowed to govern his territories pretty much freely and they would only have to send soldiers when they're attacked.The king kept his promise however the territories within the new German state that belong to those who opposed him were to be directly governed by the king himself 

And since France was seriously worried about the new German state it was compensated by territories in western Germany, Calais from England and Roussillon from Spain

Meanwhile to further balance this newly formed German state Brandenburg has made a royal marriage with Pomerania merging the 2 nations under Brandenburg's rule hence forming a strong buffer state between the Kingdom of Germany and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth however Brandenburg was pro-Poland

England has gained minor territories along the scotish border, almost capturing Edinburgh.Sweden has gained a little piece of land from Denmark's southeastern part of Norway and with that increasing the size of the Swedish atlantic coastline.

Sweden has also gained minor territories along the Russian border however the Russians gained little pieces of Swedish territory in Finland as well

Concurrently the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Russia have also ceeded minor areas along the border to each other however Russia gained visibly more from this land exchange, and as promised Denmark got it's promised territories in Holstein

Overall even though the treaty did lead to the formation of a unified German state however it wasn't ready to change the world yet like many and especially the French thought at the time.As most of the fighting was on their territory, the German state was devastated, and it's military broken while the French took a great deal of their territories and they also had a strong Brandenburg to the east who is allied to the Polish, and to make matters worse the nobles were relatively powerful and the king was a devout catholic in a protestant majority nation

Even though Germany's situation looks hopeless but over time this nation will truly leave a huge impact on the world
