Peace
Peace was negotiated between France (on behalf of Sweden) and Denmark at the Treaty of Fontainebleau on August 23, 1679. The peace, which was largely dictated by France, stipulated that all territory lost by Sweden during the war should be returned. Thus the terms formulated at the Treaty of Copenhagen remained in force. It was reaffirmed by the Treaty of Lund, signed by Denmark-Norway and Sweden themselves. Denmark received minor war reparations from Sweden and returned Swedish Rügen. Likewise, the Electorate of Brandenburg had to return her gains, Bremen-Verden and Swedish Pomerania, to Sweden on behalf of France in the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
On the ground in Scania itself, however, the war had a devastating effect in raising the hopes of the pro-Danish guerilla known as Snapphane, who thereupon suffered savage repression from the reinstated Swedish authorities.
