Which 1805 treaty ended the War of the Third Coalition between France and Austria?

The 1805 treaty that ended the War of the Third Coalition between France and Austria was the Treaty of Pressburg.

Also called the Peace of Pressburg, it was signed on December 26, 1805, after Napoleon’s victory over the Austro-Russian army at Austerlitz on December 2. Austria accepted substantial territorial losses and withdrew from the coalition fighting France. The agreement was negotiated for France by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand.

Austria ceded territories in Germany and Italy, including Venetia, Istria, and Dalmatia, while Napoleon’s German allies Bavaria, Württemberg, and Baden gained land and status. The settlement greatly strengthened French influence and helped prepare the political rearrangement that followed in 1806.

The Treaty of Tilsit is a frequent mistake because it was another major Napoleonic settlement, but it was signed in 1807 with Russia and Prussia after the War of the Fourth Coalition. The Treaty of Schönbrunn belongs to the later 1809 conflict. “Treaty of Pressburg” is the standard quiz answer, though “Peace of Pressburg” is an accepted name.
