Everything about Barrier Treaty totally explained
The
"Barrier Treaties" were the names of three agreements signed and ratified during the
War of Spanish Succession.
First
The first
Barrier Treaty (also known as the
Treaty of Den Haag or the
Treaty of The Hague) was signed on
October 29,
1709 between
Great Britain and the states-general of the
United Provinces. By the terms of the treaty, the United Provinces engaged to guarantee the
Protestant succession in
England in favor of the
House of Hanover, while Great Britain undertook to procure for the
Dutch an adequate barrier on the side of the
Netherlands, consisting of the towns of
Veurne,
Nieuwpoort,
Ypres,
Menen,
Lille,
Tournai,
Condé,
Valenciennes,
Maubeuge,
Charleroi,
Namur,
Halle,
Damme,
Dendermonde and the citadel of
Ghent. The treaty was based on the same principle of securing
Holland against
French aggression that had inspired that of

1698, by the terms of which the chief frontier fortresses of the Netherlands were to be garrisoned by Dutch troops.

January 29,
1713, by which the strong places designed for the barrier were reduced to Veurne, the fort of
Knokke, Ypres, Menen, Tournai,
Mons, Charleroi and the citadel of Ghent, and certain fortresses in the neighborhood of that city and of
Bruges; Great Britain undertaking to obtain the right for the Dutch to garrison them from the future sovereign of the
Spanish Netherlands. Its terms were included in the
Treaty of Rastatt, between the emperor and France, signed on the
March 7,
1714.
Third
The third
Barrier Treaty (also known as the
Treaty of Antwerp) was signed on
November 15,
1715. Based on the terms of the accord,
Frederick William I of Prussia ceded to the United Provinces several cities in the upper regions of
Guelders.
