Abstract:it was at that moment when the failure of a common policy that had its last episode in the peace of Westphalia happened. Studying in depth the treaties negotiated at this time we try to understand why, unlike what happened with France and its allies, the Habsburgs were unable to implement a common military policy that would have prevented their loss of hegemony in Europe.
