The Franco-Dutch War led to several separate wars, which usually go by separate names, like the Third Anglo-Dutch War or Scanian War, but which were directly caused by, and really form part of, the Franco-Dutch War. That is why so many countries were involved in these treaties of Nijmegen.

The negotiations started in 1676, but nothing was agreed to and signed before 1678. These treaties did not result in a lasting peace. Some of the countries involved signed peace deals elsewhere, such as the Treaty of Celle (Sweden made peace with Lüneburg), Treaty of Saint-Germain (France and Sweden made peace with Brandenburg) and Treaty of Fontainebleau (French dictated peace between Sweden and Denmark-Norway).
