Historians generally agree that the Peace of Westphalia weakened the Holy Roman Empire and strengthened the various princes. Moreover, the Netherlands and Switzerland were removed from the Empire. It is sometimes said, especially by some political theorists in the U.S., that the modern concept of sovereignty arose from the Peace, but this an exaggeration and simplification.
