The Treaty of Pressburg, signed by the Austrian Empire and the First French Empire on 26 December 1805, ended the War of the Third Coalition on terms set after Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz. Austria ceded Venetia, Istria and Dalmatia to the French aligned Kingdom of Italy, ceded Tyrol and Vorarlberg to Bavaria, ceded scattered Swabian holdings to Wurttemberg and Baden, paid an indemnity of 40 million francs, and recognized the newly assumed kingly titles of the Electors of Bavaria and Wurttemberg. That recognition foreshadowed the end of the Holy Roman Empire; Francis II renounced the imperial title within the following year.
