## Resource

Imagine a scenario where the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807 had never been signed. This pivotal agreement between Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I reshaped the political landscape of Europe. In this exploration, we analyze the potential consequences of a world where this treaty was never reached, examining how the absence of this diplomatic resolution could have altered the balance of power in Europe, affected the Napoleonic Wars, and influenced the rise of nationalism across the continent. Our hosts will delve into the intricate web of alliances and enmities that defined the era, speculating on how different outcomes might have led to a radically different European map and political climate.
