Napoleon Fontainebleau

Napoleon after his first abdication, 1814

The Treaty of Paris, signed on 30 May 1814, was the peace treaty signed between the First French Empire and the nations of Russia, Prussia, Austria, Britain, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, the Two Sicilies, Sardinia-Piedmont, Saxony, Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Baden, and the Netherlands at the end of the War of the Sixth Coalition. France lost all of its revolutionary and Napoleonic-era conquests, but it was permitted to retain its 1792 frontiers. France regained almost all of its colonies, and it was not forced to pay an indemnity to the Allies. However, the Hundred Days campaign of 1815 would lead to the Second Treaty of Paris exacting harsher punishments against the French.
