The treaties with Prussia and Spain broke the alliance between the Republic's two main opponents in the First Coalition.
Together with the Prussian treaty of 5 April, the Franco-Spanish treaty of 22 July 1795 broke the alliance between the French Republic's two main opponents of the First Coalition. With great diplomatic cunning, the Basel treaties enabled France to placate and divide its enemies one by one, concluding the stage of the French Revolutionary Wars against the First Coalition.
