The Austrians feel obliged to enter negotiations with Rákóczi, since they have to fight him on several fronts.

However, the victory of Austrian and British forces against a combined French-Bavarian army in the Battle of Blenheim on August 13, 1704, has provided an advantage not only in the War of the Spanish Succession, but also prevents the union of Rákóczi’s forces with their French-Bavarian allies.

This places Rákóczi into a difficult military and financial situation.
