The Treaty of Schönbrunn was signed on 14 October 1809 at Schönbrunn Palace near Vienna between the First French Empire under Napoleon and the Austrian Empire, ending the War of the Fifth Coalition. Its terms were harsh: Austria ceded the Duchy of Salzburg to Bavaria, lost its Adriatic coastal territories of Trieste, Carniola and Istria, surrendered West Galicia to the Duchy of Warsaw and the Tarnopol district to Russia, had its army reduced to 150,000 troops, was made to pay a large financial indemnity, and had to recognize Napoleon's conquests, including his brother Joseph as king of Spain. Despite this settlement, Austria remained one of the major powers of Europe, and its aftermath proved transformative: Emperor Francis I married his daughter Marie Louise to Napoleon the following year, and under Foreign Minister Metternich Austria even joined Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812.
