The Peace of Westphalia, concluded in 1648, resulted in several significant outcomes: it ended the Thirty Years' War in Europe, leading to a shift in the balance of power among European states. It recognized the principle of state sovereignty, establishing that nations could govern themselves without external interference. Additionally, it allowed for the coexistence of different religious groups, particularly Protestantism and Catholicism, within the Holy Roman Empire. Lastly, it laid the groundwork for modern international relations and diplomacy by formalizing the concept of treaties between sovereign states.

The Peace of Westphalia was a treaty agreement between Spain and the Dutch in 1648. This agreement put an end to the Thirty Years' War. The peace of Westphalia is recognized to be the beginning of modern international relations based on the recognition of state sovereignty. Westphalia recognized sovereignty of Netherlands and German states which meant that Europe would not unite under an emperor. This also meant the decline for the Habsburg monarchy and papal authority who enjoyed support from Phillip II of Spain.
