Second Peace of Thorn
1466
After a thirteen-year war, the Teutonic Order surrendered western Prussia, including Danzig, to Poland and acknowledged Polish suzerainty over the rest. The Order's independent statehood effectively ended. The Baltic grain trade, now secured under Polish protection, would enrich Danzig and ripple through the Dutch and English markets for a century.
