Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Library of Historic Characters and Famous Events of All Nations and All Ages, Vol. 12

Alexander I. He now became completely dazzled by the genius and success of the French Emperor. So far did his infatuation lead him, that he entered into Napoleon's plans for conquest, and even sought to bring about a marriage with him and his sister Catherine; but the strong and determined opposition of the empress-mother prevented this alliance. The result of the battle of Friedland was an interview between the two emperors. Alexander first accepted the secret condi tions of the Treaty of Tilsit. They met on a raft in the river N iemen, and the treaty was signed on the 7th of July, 1807.
