Treaty of Paris (1814)

The peace treaty signed on 30 May 1814 between France and the coalition powers that ended the War of the Sixth Coalition and set terms for France and postwar Europe.

First Treaty of Paris: The 1814 peace agreement between France and the coalition powers after Napoleon’s first abdication. This is the treaty’s common short name and the settlement that preceded Napoleon’s return.
Treaty of Fontainebleau (1814): The agreement that arranged Napoleon’s abdication and exile to Elba in April 1814. Napoleon’s abdication created the political conditions for the Paris settlement.
Battle of Leipzig: The October 1813 battle in which coalition forces decisively defeated Napoleon near Leipzig. The defeat weakened French control of Germany and opened the route toward France.
Treaty of Lunéville: The 1801 treaty that ended the War of the Second Coalition between France and Austria. It was an earlier French peace settlement made after victory, rather than defeat.
Congress of Vienna: The 1814–1815 diplomatic conference that reorganized Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. The Paris treaty left major territorial questions for this broader negotiation.
Louis XVIII: King of France from 1814 to 1824, apart from Napoleon’s return in 1815. The treaty recognized his rule and secured the Bourbon restoration.
Battle of Paris (1814): The March 1814 battle in which coalition forces captured Paris from Napoleon’s army. The fall of the capital prompted Napoleon’s abdication and peace negotiations.
Treaty of Amiens: The 1802 treaty that briefly ended war between France and Britain. It was a short-lived pause between adversaries, unlike the 1814 settlement after Napoleon’s fall.
Bourbon Restoration in France: The restoration of the Bourbon dynasty to the French throne after Napoleon’s first abdication. The treaty recognized Louis XVIII as France’s king.
Elba: A Mediterranean island that served as Napoleon’s place of exile from 1814 to 1815. The treaty confirmed Napoleon’s possession of Elba and granted him a pension.
