Napoleon - The Beginning of the End

On June 26, 1813, two powerful men gathered in Dresden to discuss the future of war and peace in Europe.

Napoleon Bonaparte met with diplomat Metternich, known as Austria’s “strong man” and the Emperor’s closest confidant. This fateful showdown between two of the most powerful men of this time period marked the beginning of the end for Napoleon. By rejecting Metternich’s proposal, Napoleon missed an opportunity to build the foundations of a future Europe. We are guided by international historians to reconstruct this key chapter of European history and trace the steps of Napoleon's downfall.
