What is Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany?
[[File:Ratifikationsurkunde.jpg|thumb|{{center|1=Germany's [[ratification]] of the 2+4 Treaty}}]]The '''Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany''' ({{lang-de|Vertrag über die abschließende Regulung in bezug auf Deutschland}} {{lang-fr|Traité portant règlement définitif concernant l'Allemagne}} {{lang-ru|Догοвор об окончательном урегулировании в отношении Германии}}) is sometimes called the '''2 + 4 Treaty'''.
