The Peace of Tilsit was concluded as a result of personal negotiations between the Emperors of Russia Alexander I and France Napoleon I (June 13/25 1807; both emperors met on a raft placed in the middle of the Neman River; and talked eye to eye in a covered pavilion for about an hour). Under the terms of the peace treaty signed on June 25 (July 7); 1807. Russia agreed to the creation of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and joined the continental blockade of England. In fact; the monarchs divided among themselves the spheres of influence in Europe: Western and Central Europe became the sphere of influence of France; Eastern and North-Western Europe - the sphere of influence of the Russian Empire. A separate act formalized the offensive and defensive Russian-French alliance.) MAX GRADE
