Famous meeting between French Emperor Napoleon I and Austrian diplomat Prince Klemens von Metternich at Dresden on 26 June 1813, to negotiate an end to the War of the Sixth Coalition. A heated argument broke out over Metternich's demands that Napoleon surrender most of his European conquests; shortly thereafter, Austria joined the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon.
