Information
------------------------------

-- Original Title "Napoleon und Metternich - Der Anfang vom Ende" --

A 200th Anniversary Feature on Napoleon's Death. On June 26, 1813, Austrian Foreign Minister Klemens von Metternich went to meet Napoleon Bonaparte at his headquarters in Dresden, in the Kingdom of Saxony. Although the French emperor still dominated Europe, the disastrous Russian campaign had sapped his military power. Could France continue to count on Austria's support? A nine-hour private meeting would decide the fate of Europe.
Dresden, June 26, 1813: Metternich and Napoleon fought a duel of words for almost nine hours. Everything is at stake for the French ruler. He subjugated almost all of Europe. But his defeat in Russia leaves him vulnerable. Either Napoleon accepts Metternich's peace plan - or Austria joins his opponents' camp.
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.

Directed by Mathieu Schwartz and Christian Twente ; Produced by Gruppe 5 Filmproduktion, ZDF and ARTE France
