Portugal and Russia
Alliance Members:Portugal and Russia
Signed On:September 7, 1799, in the city of St. Petersburg
Alliance Type:Defense Pact (Type II)

SUMMARY
After the conclusion of the War of the Pyrenees, Spain was an ally of
the French Republic. Portugal, fearing French ambitions and garner-
ing no support from Spain, joined the Second Coalition and signed
this alliance with Russia in September 1799.
In 1801, Spain finally invaded Portugal with Napoleon’s blessing,
although the invasion was halted soon after it began as Portugal sued
for peace. Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Badajoz in 1801,
which transferred the border provinces of Almeida and Olivença to
Spain in exchange for cessation of the invasion. Olivença remains a
Spanish territory and is an issue of some contention between Spain
and Portugal to this day.
Description of Terms
This defensive alliance pledges a sincere and constant friendship
between the two parties. The alliance was meant not to be
offensive but rather was created to ensure the tranquility of
Europe.
If Portugal were to be attacked, Russia would send 6,000
infantrymen. If Russia were attacked, Portugal would send six
warships. If the attacked preferred monetary aid, the amount
of 250,000 rubles per year would be given by the other party. If
the assisting country were later attacked, it could recall its
troops with two months’ notice. If the assisting country was
already at war when the aid was requested, the ally could sim-
ply refuse the aid.
The pay, the transportation, and all that would be required
for the Russian troops would be provided by Portugal. For the
transportation of the Russian troops, the two parties would
make arrangements with England for a warship for their
security. The assisting state’s troops would have their own priest
and would have freedom of religion. The assisting state’s troops
would not be used more than the troops of the attacked coun-
try. The points stipulated in this treaty were not to be consid-
ered applicable if Russia went to war with any power in Asia.
The 6,000 Russian troops would not be sent outside Europe.
Both parties pledged not to make peace with the enemy
unless its ally also made peace. This treaty is stated to be com-
patible with all other treaties between the two countries. If
another power would want to join the alliance, the two parties
would consult each other before assenting. The treaty was
intended to last for eight years.2.1119 Treaty of Alliance between Bavaria and
Russia
Alliance Members:Bavaria and Russia
Signed On:September 20, 1799, in the city of Gatchina (Russia)
Alliance Type:Defense Pact (Type I)
Source:Consolidated Treaty Series,vol. 55, p. 81.SUMMARY
Bavaria joined the Second Coalition following an alliance with Russia
in September 1799. Russia offered numerous subsidies in exchange for
Bavarian participation with the British against the French. A corollary
treaty was signed by the British and the Bavarians, wherein the Bavari-
ans were given further subsidies in exchange for participation.
Bavaria’s geographical position was undesirable, fixed between an
expansive French Republic and the hated Austrians. As such, Bavaria
was the battleground for war between the French and the Austrians
and was at different times in 1800 occupied by both its warring neigh-
bors. The Treaty of Lunéville in 1801 restored Bavaria to its antebel-
lum size, but the treaty was too late to prevent the French from razing
the Ingolstadt fortress that the Russians had promised to defend for
the Bavarians, as per the terms of this treaty.Description of Terms
Russia guaranteed Bavaria all its possessions as they were at the
time of the peace of Teschen. Russia guaranteed that Bavaria
would not be dismembered or exchanged without its consent.
Russia pledged to lobby England to obtain subsidies for 20,000
Bavarian men to be ready by March. These troops would be for
England to use against the French. After the war or as soon as
possible, Russia would defend the fort of Ingolstadt for Bavaria.
