Second Treaty of Korinth

The was a treaty signed on Korinth in , during the First Coalition War
== Background ==
The treaty was signed shortly after the victory of the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum in the Second Siege of Korinth against the Fialta Imperium (the First Siege having been fought by the Fialta Warlords against the Shantine Empire in , the Third Siege or "The Betrayal at Korinth" to be fought some two years after the Second Siege by the Fialta Imperium and turncoat Sigvaldian forces against the Shantine garrison, and the Fourth Siege to be fought by the Shantine against the Fialta Imperium virtually from the end of the Third Siege until the end of the War of the Coalition).
== Description ==
The treaty was signed by the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum, the Empire of Bishant and the Despotate of Alusia, forming the original membership of the Coalition of Nations. The treaty outlined military commitments of all signatories against the Fialta Imperium, transmitted Korinth to Shantine control (albeit with a standing Aeldman garrison), summarized the wargoals of each member and the collective goal of Fialta containment and forced disarmament, and outlined the Leopold Doctrine (named for the reigning Serene Doge Leopold Orvhim) which affirmed principles of free navigation and commercial access by merchants of the great powers (in a repudiation of the historic mercantilism and territorial contests of the Aeldman and Shantine trade companies).
The Second Treaty was followed three years later by the Third Treaty of Korinth, which ended the war.
