The Chambers of Reunion were French courts established by King Louis XIV in the early 1680s. The purpose of these courts was to increase French territory. Louis had been expanding the borders of France in a series of wars. Territory was gained in the Treaty of Nijmegen in 1679 and the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1668. The courts job was the determine what dependencies, if any, had belong to the areas incorporated into France by these treaties. In doing this places such as Saarbrücken, Luxembourg, Zweibrücken and Strasbourg were annexed to France.

Louis used rights to the territories from the middle ages. Louis took advantage of his alliances with the German princes by claiming their land. Although there was no legal claim to it at all, Louis took the city of Strasburg, as with the city of Casale. Louis also takes most of what is now Luxemburg, which was ruled by the Holy Roman Empire, who were distracted with an ongoing war with the Ottoman empire.

Louis's hostile policy antagonized much of the rest of Europe, resulting in the War of the League of Augsburg in 1688. The war ended in 1697 with the signing of the Treaty of Ryswick. In it Louis agreed to restore much of the territory that had been "reunited" with France as a result of the Chambers of Reunion.
