Short answers, pulled from the story.
Who signed the Treaty of Campo Formio?
Napoleon Bonaparte signed the treaty on behalf of the French Republic, and Count Philipp von Cobenzl signed on behalf of the Austrian monarchy. The treaty followed the armistice of Leoben from April 1797.
What happened to Venice under the Treaty of Campo Formio?
The Republic of Venice was disbanded and partitioned between France and Austria. The city of Venice, the Terraferma, Venetian Istria, Venetian Dalmatia, and the Bay of Kotor went to Austria, while Corfu and other Venetian possessions in the Ionian Sea went to France. Austrian troops entered Venice on the 18th of January 1798.
What territories did France gain from the Treaty of Campo Formio?
France received the Austrian Netherlands (most of modern Belgium), Corfu and other Venetian possessions in the Ionian Sea, and, through secret clauses, an extension of its borders to the Rhine, the Nette, and the Roer. Free French navigation was also guaranteed on the Rhine, the Meuse, and the Moselle.
Did the Treaty of Campo Formio end the war between France and Austria?
It ended the War of the First Coalition, but the peace did not hold. The Congress of Rastatt, called for in the treaty, failed to achieve a broader settlement, and by early 1799 France and Austria were at war again in the War of the Second Coalition. That conflict ended with the Peace of Luneville in 1801.
What were the secret clauses in the Treaty of Campo Formio?
The secret articles committed Austria to cooperating with France at the Congress of Rastatt and agreed to divide additional territories. They also extended France's borders to the Rhine, the Nette, and the Roer, and guaranteed French navigation rights on the Rhine, the Meuse, and the Moselle.
