Years: 1735 - 1735
The British and Dutch had offered to mediate peace talks between the various parties as early as February 1734.
Proposals were being circulated by early 1735.
As 1735 progresses, with the Austrians being in no real position to continue the fight, and the French concerned by the possible arrival of Russian reinforcements on the Rhine (which does eventually occur), negotiations continue through the summer of 1735.
French armies continue to advance along the Rhine, reaching as far as Mainz, but the growing imperial army, which comes to include troops from Russia that had assisted with the capture of Danzig, is able to prevent France from establishing a siege there, and Eugene goes on the offensive.
A force of thirty thousand under Friedrich Heinrich von Seckendorff crosses the Rhine and begins pushing the French back toward Trier, defeating them at Clausen in October 1735, in one of the last battles before preliminary peace terms are reached later in the month.
