Treaty of Lunéville settlement
Part of
Treaty of Lunéville ends the War of the Second Coalition

The peace treaties ceded the left bank of the Rhine to France, and France obtained new lands in Tuscany.

Under the treaty terms, the left bank of the Rhine was ceded to France. France also obtained new lands in Tuscany, in Italy, as part of the February 1801 settlement. The cited sources describe the cession of the left bank rather than dating its effect to the signing day, so the effective date of the transfer is not asserted here.
