The Peace of Pressburg was a treaty between France and Austria signed in Pressburg, now Bratislava, after Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz, ending the War of the Third Coalition. Austria ceded Venetia, Istria and Dalmatia to the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, and gave Tyrol and Vorarlberg to Bavaria. It also recognized Napoleon's allies, the rulers of Bavaria and Württemberg, as kings and paid a large indemnity. The treaty greatly reduced Austrian influence in Germany and Italy. It prepared the ground for the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, when Francis II renounced the imperial crown, and it confirmed Napoleon's dominance of Central Europe.
