ABSTRACT
The multinational Habsburg Empire experiences massive changes in territorial jurisdiction through the war. Over the last quarter of the eighteenth century, the Empire acquires Galicia through the First and Third Partitions of Poland (1772 and 1795). In the Napoleonic period, the Empire loses influence and territory to France and her client states, notably by the treaties of Campo Fonnio (1797), Luneville (1801), Pressburg (1805) and Vienna (1809), prompting a reduction of Habsburg power in 'Germany', 'Italy', 'Belgium' and 'Poland'. At the Vienna Settlement (1815), the Empire's losses in 'Germany', 'Belgium' and 'Poland' a.re tacitly confirmed but compensation is provided by the acquisition ot' Lombardy-Venetia in northern Italy.
