John George of Saxony , never having been a willing opponent of the Emperor, submitted a peace proposal which resulted in the Peace of Prague of 1635. Concisely, it stated that the Edict of Restitution was to be withdrawn for a period of 40 years, after which the Emperor would be able to decide on the religious settlement; that the territorial situation was to return to that present on the 12 November 1627; and finally, it provided an amnesty to the enemies of Ferdinand, with the exception of those that had opposed him prior to Gustavus Adolphus's invasion of 1630. The Peace pf Prague was open to any German entity that wished to assent on the issues that it covered; a grater number of the German states promulgated the peace, including a vast majority of states which had been in the Heilbronn League. Ironically, however, this led to the continuation of the war, because Brandenburg signed under the condition that if a settlement with Sweden was to be achieved, then Brandenburg would recieve Pomerania. Sweden, of course, would never agree to cede her embankment on the Southern Batlic shore.
