Meantime Europe was becoming ut
terly exhausted in men. money and
commerce and industry. The pope
suggested negotiations for n peace and
in l64l Louis Mi of France signed
the prellminaries for conference. But
Cardinal Mazarin, who had succeeded
Rlchclieu upon the death of that great
statesman, did not desire peace until
he had further humbed some of the
Catholic powers, especially Spain.
Peace Delegates Met at Munster.
However, three years after Louis
had signed the prellminnries peace
delegates met at Munster. The con
gress accomplished nothing, the dele

Finally in October of l64S, after four

at Munster. This treaty put an end to
the period of so-called religious wars
and also to the supremacy OF the
