- When
- 5 April – 28 August 1795
- Where
- Basel, setting of the three Basel treaties
- Part of
- Third Treaty of Basel
The Hesse-Kassel peace of 28 August 1795 was the last of three Basel treaties, following earlier agreements with Prussia and Spain that fractured the First Coalition.
The third treaty, with Hesse-Kassel on 28 August 1795, concluded the Peace of Basel, which consisted of three peace treaties involving France during the French Revolution. As supporting context: the first, with Prussia represented by Karl August von Hardenberg, was signed on 5 April 1795 after discussion since 1794; the second, with Spain represented by Domingo de Iriarte, was signed at night in the mansion of Ochs, the Holsteinerhof. The treaties with Prussia and Spain broke the alliance between the French Republic's two main opponents of the First Coalition, and Prussia observed the Treaty of Basel until joining the Fourth Coalition in 1806.
