The Peace of Oliva is signed through French mediation, ending
war between Brandenburg, Poland, Austria and Sweden. Its terms
recognise the Elector of Brandenburg's sovereignty in East Prussia,
and force John Casimir II of Poland to renounce his claim to the
Swedish throne and to Estonia and Livonia. Sweden and Poland
recognise the sovereignty of Russia.
