Editing Treaty of Belgrade (section)

==Aftermath==
The Habsburg decision to enter negotiations in August 1739 forced its ally [[Russian Empire|Russia]] to also accept peace talks, through French mediation, that resulted in a separate preliminary peace treaty that was signed on the same day (18 September) in Belgrade, and was later finalized by the [[Treaty of Niš (1739)|Treaty of Niš]] (3 October), thus ending the [[Russo–Turkish War (1735–1739)]].{{sfn|Roider|1972b|p=206}}{{sfn|Mikaberidze|2011b|p=647}}

After the formal ratification of both peace treaties, diplomatic instruments were exchanged and the final convention was signed in [[Constantinople]] on 28 December 1739, also trough the French mediation, thus concluding the war. In the meantime, both count Neipperg and field marshal Wallis were arrested by the Habsburg state authorities and accused for the unfavorable outcome of negotiations. Only after the Emperor's death in 1740 they were pardoned.{{sfn|Roider|1972b|p=195–207}}
