Third Treaty Of San Ildefonso




The treaty was concluded on October 1 , 1800 between Louis Alexandre Berthier representing France and Don Mariano Luis De Urquijo for Spain. The treaty was negotiated under some duress, as Spain was under pressure from Napoleon . The terms of the treaty did not specify the boundaries of the territory being returned, which later became a point of contention between Spain and the United States after France sold the Louisiana Purchase to the U.S. in 1803 .

This treaty also affirmed the earlier Treaty of Alliance signed at San Ildefonso on August 19, 1796. That treaty is sometimes also referred to as the Treaty of San Ildefonso.
