The Treaty of Aranjuez (1752) was signed on 14 June, 1752, between Austria, Spain and the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Under the agreement, the signatories guaranteed their respective boundaries in Italy, as set out in the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. The treaty was brokered by Britain, which saw it as a way of separating Spain from France.
Although this objective was superseded by the 1756 Diplomatic Revolution, in which Austria replaced its alliance with Britain in favour of one with France, it successfully ended conflict in Italy for over 40 years.
