Because Wikipedia is a collaboratively edited and continuously updated platform, the exact text of its articles can change from day to day. Furthermore, the article is officially titled "Peace of Westphalia" (which "Treaty of Westphalia" redirects to).

Based on the most stable and recent version of the article, here are the first two paragraphs:

The Peace of Westphalia (German: Westfälischer Friede, pronounced [vɛstˈfɛːlɪʃɐ ˈfʁiːdə]) is the collective name for two peace treaties signed in October 1648 in the Westphalian cities of Osnabrück and Münster. They ended the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) and brought peace to the Holy Roman Empire, closing a calamitous period of European history that killed approximately eight million people. The Holy Roman Emperor, the Spanish Empire, the Kingdom of France, the Swedish Empire, the Dutch Republic, the princes of the Holy Roman Empire, and sovereigns of the free imperial cities participated in these treaties.

The negotiation process was lengthy and complex. Talks took place in two cities, because each side wanted to meet on territory under its own control. A total of 109 delegations arrived to represent the belligerent states, but not all delegations were present at the same time. Two treaties were signed to end the war in the Empire: the Treaty of Münster and the Treaty of Osnabrück. The Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) between Spain and the Dutch Republic was ended with the Peace of Münster, signed in January 1648, which is also considered part of the Peace of Westphalia.
