		France also hoped to secure the long coveted duchy of Lorraine from its duke Francis III, who was expected to marry Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI's daughter, Maria Theresa, which would bring Austrian power dangerously close to the French border.
		Shortly after this favorable result, France's mediation in the war between the Austrian Empire and the Ottoman Empire led to the Treaty of Belgrade (September 1739) which ended the war in favor of the Ottoman Empire, a traditional ally of France against the Habsburgs (since the early 16th century).
		As a result of these victories, France occupied the entire Austrian Netherlands (modern-day Belgium), at the time the wealthiest area of Europe, and Louis XV was well on his way to fulfill the old dream of France to establish the country’s northeastern border on the Rhine River.

		Without a major conservation laboratory dedicated to this project, preservation, analysis, and storage of the Queen Anne's Revenge artifacts would be limited in quantity and size according to the capabilities of the UAU conservation laboratory at Fort Fisher and the temporary laboratory of the NCMM at Gallants Channel in Beaufort.
