Secondary-source excerpt (scholarly voice, 75–125 words): Balance-of-power diplomacy often relied on "linkage" between European and colonial theaters. Because maritime and imperial resources could translate into continental leverage, negotiators treated overseas concessions as compensations that could settle European disputes. This practice reinforced the global character of European state competition: a fortress in Flanders, a Caribbean island, or an Indian trading post might all serve as bargaining chips in a single settlement. The logic reveals how equilibrium was pursued through multidimensional trade-offs rather than purely territorial adjustments in Europe. Which treaty outcome best exemplifies this linkage of colonial exchange to European balance?
Which of the following best fits the excerpt?
