The Treaty of Tilsit was a peace agreement signed on July 7, 1807, between Napoleon Bonaparte of France and Tsar Alexander I of Russia. It marked the end of the War of the Fourth Coalition and established a temporary alliance between the two powers. The treaty divided Europe into spheres of influence, with France gaining control over most of Western and Central Europe, while Russia retained control over Eastern Europe. It also led to the creation of the Duchy of Warsaw, a French satellite state in Poland.
