Answer : 2. "Treaty of Prague"

This territorial transfer was part of the broader context of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, also known as the Seven Weeks' War, where Austria faced defeat against Prussia. The treaty contributed to the process of Italian unification, as Venetia was an important region that was integrated into the newly formed Kingdom of Italy.
