Napoleonic Treaties.
The Napoleonic peace treaties usu
ally began with an armistice. The
most famous, the treaty of Tilsit, was
brought about by a per'sonal meet
Ing between Napoleon and Alexander I
on a raft in the middle of the River
Niemen to agree uponl1 ani armistice
which the czar had already sought.
An armIstiee wvas also agreed upon
after the hattle of Lutzen. but Napo
leon would not agree to the allies'
terms and resutmed hostilitles. Ills
fall in 1811 was necomphanied by no
1e()gotialtiols ; the allies were actually

Sladed him to sign an aet of abdica
tion, and the French senate dethroned
himIa.
Oi the death of Czar Nicholas I,
his successor, Alexander ii, announced
to the courts of Elurope his desire that
the Crimean war should end, and this
is the Ilearest apiolclth to a parallel
with Germany's action today.
A peace conference was held in
Vienna, but in three ilonths4 it was
broken off and the war resutimed. The
war went on until Austria, a neutral
lower, threatened to join the allies un
