"The Peace of Basel ended the War of the Pyrenees on 22 July 1795. An alliance convention between France and Spain was signed at the Second Treaty of San Ildefonso on 19 August 1796. All in all, it was a victory for the French republic. Portugal remained in combat, however, as peace was not concluded with the Portuguese. Spain allied with France in 1796 following the Second Treaty of San Ildefonso." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolutionary_Wars#1795)
