9 March 1814
In the Treaty of Chaumont, the principal powers in the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon – Britain, Russia, Prussia and Austria – each agree not to negotiate a separate peace with French emperor and to supply 150,000 troops to bring about his final defeat. Britain, by now far the wealthiest nation in the world, is to finance the effort. The fall of Paris and Napoleon's defeat and exile cannot be far away now. |
