  Treaty of London, 1839 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of London of 1839, also called the Convention of 1839, was signed on 19 April 1839.
With the treaty, the southern provinces of the Netherlands became the Kingdom of Belgium, while the province of Limburg was split into Belgian and Dutch parts.
The signatories of the treaty (the United Kingdom, Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, and the Netherlands) now officially recognised the independent Kingdom of Belgium, and (at the United Kingdom's insistence) agreed to its neutrality.

 Jay Treaty
The Jay Treaty of 1795 (also known as Jay's Treaty or, in regular terminology, the Treaty of London) between the United States and Great Britain promised that British subjects would leave the Great Lakes region within a year.
However the treaty failed to deal with two other issues between the nations, the impressment[?] of sailors and the debts owed by way of compensation to Loyalists.
Many Americans were upset with this treaty but the United States still had little negotiating strength and "failed or refused" (as lawyers put it) to fulfil its own part in any event.

 Versailles, Treaty of - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
The Preliminary Treaty of Versailles of 1871 was signed at the end of the Franco-Prussian War by Otto von Bismarck for Germany and by Adolphe Thiers for France.
Among the chief causes of Allied dissension was Wilson's refusal to recognize the secret agreements reached by the Allies in the course of the war; Italy's refusal to forgo the territorial gains promised (1915) by the secret Treaty of London; and French insistence on the harsh treatment of Germany.
The treaty formally placed the responsibility for the war on Germany and its allies and imposed on Germany the burden of the reparations payments.

 U.S.-U.K. Extradition Treaty
Under the 1985 Supplementary Treaty, the judicial branch has the authority to consider whether an extradition request is motivated by a desire to punish the person sought on account of race, religion, nationality, or political opinions, or if the person sought would be subject to unfair treatment in U.K. courts or prisons after extradition.
This is untrue; the new Treaty does not eliminate the application of the statute of limitations, for either the U.S. or the U.K. It does reserve determination on the issue of the statute of limitations to the courts of the country where the criminal charges are pending.
The treaty currently in force does not contain such a provision for waiver of the rule of specialty, and the preferred practice of States is not to waive the rule of specialty unless there is a treaty provision authorizing them to do so.

 The CFE Treaty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Though the treaty was negotiated in a multilateral forum, it is firmly rooted in the alliance formations of the cold war-NATO and the WTO.
The lengthy period of implementation is due to the overwhelming complexity of the treaty and the monumental task of either removing or destroying a vast array of equipment-roughly 32,000 pieces of treatylimited equipment (TLE) for the Warsaw Pact and 16,000 for NATO.
The preamble of the treaty includes a clause that commits the signatories to strive "to replace military confrontation with a new pattern of security relations based on peaceful cooperation."7 Though the agreement is very specific in its technical content, it does not provide any description about how these new "patterns" are to be accomplished.

 Treaty Cruisers USS Tuscaloosa CA-37 - USS Wichita CA-45
There were various escape and escalation clauses in the treaties, and, of course, eventually all limitations imposed by the treaties became irrelevant.
Wichita was the last heavy cruiser built under the treaty restrictions and was the transition ship to the post-treaty Baltimore class of heavy cruisers.
The ability to review the treaty cruisers of other countries and the number of navy yards permitted, and sometimes dictated, a variety of modifications between and among the classes of treaty cruisers.

 THE UNITED STATES RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY OF GHENT
The response to the peace and the response to the treaty were not entirely one in the same, but that in no way means the treaty itself was not received favorably by the public or the press.
The nearly universally positive reception of the treaty and the readily available information regarding its negotiation, taken together with the "speedy action" and, as shall be seen, the lack of dissent or even debate in the Senate on the treaty, the second proposition seems equally plausible.
The treaty may not have fulfilled everyone's original expectations, but, from the war's course alone or from the record of the negotiations, it was very clear that the final outcome--Adam's "peace upon honorable terms"--could have been so much worse.
