Answer 1

Territorial changes resulting from the Peace of Westphalia, ending the 30 years war was that The Netherlands and the Swiss Confederation became independent states.

Further Explanations:

Peace of Westphalia was a sequence of peace treaties that were signed amongst the cities of Osnabruck and Munster from May to October 1648 in Westphalia. These treaties ended the “European war of religion” and the “Thirty Years of War”. The treaties demised the “Calamitous period” of European History that took away the lives of approximately 8 million people. The treaties were also identified as the commencement of the modern international system grounded on the principle of Westphalia Sovereignty.  

The negotiation processes of implementing the treaties were complex and lengthy and too involved too many delegates. Though 109 delegates arrived to exemplify the belligerent, but all were not demonstrating at the same time. A total of three treaties namely the Treaty of Munster, Peace of Munster and Treaty of Osnabruck were signed respectively to end all the battles. One such significant outcome of the war was that it liberated Netherland and Swiss Confederation.
