 The war along the Western Front led the German government and its allies to sue for peace in spite of German success elsewhere . As a result , the terms of the peace were dictated by France , Britain and the United States , during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference . The result was the Treaty of Versailles , signed in June 1919 by a delegation of the new German government .

 For four months , negotiators shuttled between Vienna and Berlin , Dresden and Regensburg , and Zweibrücken , Munich and Mannheim . By early spring 1778 , Austria and Prussia faced each other with armies several times the size of their forces during the Seven Years ' War , and their confrontation had the potential to explode into another European @-@ wide war .

 The document today exists only in a 17th @-@ century transcript by the antiquarian William Dugdale . The Boulogne agreement was largely unknown to modern historians up until the 1960s , but it is now considered significant because it is the first documented expression of the conflict between king and nobility , which was to dominate so much of the reign of Edward II . Though historians agree on the document 's importance , there is still disagreement over its interpretation , particularly whether the signatories should be seen as oppositional or loyal to the king .

 The representatives of France , Great Britain , and the Dutch Republic signed the Treaty of Utrecht on 11 April 1713 ( N.S. ) – the Emperor and his German allies , including the Elector of Hanover , continued with the war before finally accepting the general settlement the following year . The Treaty marked Britain 's emergence as a great power . Domestically , however , the country remained divided between Whig and Tory , Jacobite and Hanoverian factions . By now Oxford and St John ( Viscount Bolingbroke since 1712 ) – absorbed entirely by their mutual enmity and political squabbling – had effectively wrecked the Tory administration . Marlborough had been kept well informed of events while in exile and had remained a powerful figure on the political scene , not least because of the personal attachment the Queen still retained for him . After the death of his daughter Elizabeth from smallpox in March 1714 , Marlborough contacted the Queen . Although the contents of the letter are unknown it is possible that Anne may have summoned him home . Either way , it seems that an agreement was reached to reinstate the Duke in his former offices .

 The Boulogne agreement had little immediate impact , and is notable mostly for its influence on a later document presented in parliament in April that year . In the meanwhile , on 25 February , the king had been crowned . Before the coronation , the king had been forced to include an additional clause in his coronation oath . The king obliged himself to abide by the law , but this exact meaning of this promise was ambiguous . The clause referred to laws the people " shall have chosen " ( aura eslu ) , which left it unclear whether it also included future enactments . At the coronation ceremony that followed , Gaveston acted with such presumption and arrogance as to further alienate the leading magnates .
