The Treaty of Den Haag (also known as the Treaty of The Hague and seldom known as the Hedges Treaty) was signed on May 16, 1795 between representatives of the French Republic and the Batavian Republic. Based on the terms of the treaty, the Batavian Republic ceded the territories of Maastricht, Venlo, and Flanders to France. Moreover, the accord established a defensive alliance between the two nations.
