How can the peace treaty be assessed as a sustainable peace?
The peace treaty can be assessed as a sustainable peace by examining several key factors. Firstly, the involvement and commitment of all parties to the treaty is crucial for its sustainability. If all parties are genuinely invested in upholding the terms of the treaty, it is more likely to endure. Additionally, the inclusion of mechanisms for conflict resolution and reconciliation can contribute to the sustainability of the peace treaty.

What are the Peace of Augsburg and the Peace of Westphalia?
The Peace of Augsburg, signed in 1555, was a treaty between the Holy Roman Empire and the Schmalkaldic League, a group of Protestant princes. It formally recognized the coexistence of Catholicism and Lutheranism within the empire, allowing each prince to choose the religion of his territory. This marked an important step towards religious tolerance and the end of religious wars in the Holy Roman Empire. The Peace of Westphalia, signed in 1648, ended the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic. It established a new political order in Europe by recognizing the independence of the Dutch Republic and Switzerland, and by granting more autonomy to the German princes. The treaty also extended the principle of religious tolerance by allowing Calvinism to be practiced alongside Catholicism and Lutheranism. The Peace of Westphalia is considered a milestone in the development of the modern state system and international law.
