A rare pamphlet on the peace negotiations in Utrecht that ended the war of Spanish Succession (1702-1714). ; "The Offers of France Explain'd" is a 1712 pamphlet that played a critical role during the peace negotiations of the Treaty of Utrecht, which concluded the War of the Spanish Succession. The pamphlet is highly critical of the offers made by French representatives during the negotiations. It was published in the context of ongoing and intense bilateral negotiations between the French and British, each demanding concessions from the other. The Treaty of Utrecht, signed in 1713, marked the end of the conflict and realigned power balances in Europe, influencing territorial and colonial arrangements. "The Offers of France Explain'd" provided a contemporary critique and analysis, influencing public opinion and political negotiations of the time. The pamphlet is noted for its direct and critical examination of the terms proposed by France, reflecting the complex diplomacy and high stakes involved in the peace process. This document is a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the diplomatic strategies and political tensions of early 18th-century Europe. ; 19.5 x 12.7 x 0.7 cms; (2), 26, (16) pages.
