About The Treaty Archive

The Treaty Archive documents the agreements, accords, and treaties that have shaped the course of human history—from ancient peace settlements to modern international agreements.

Our Mission

Treaties are often overlooked in historical narratives, yet they represent pivotal moments where conflicts ended, borders were drawn, and new eras began. The Treaty Archive aims to make these documents accessible and engaging, presenting each treaty as a compelling story with context, consequences, and lasting impact.

Five Chapters, One Story

Each treaty in our archive is presented through five narrative chapters:

1

Tensions

The crisis that led to negotiation

2

Negotiation

Who sat at the table and why

3

Terms

What was agreed and conceded

4

Aftermath

Immediate consequences

5

Verdict

Historical assessment
