Treaty of Kalisz (1813)
The Treaty of Kalisz was signed in
Napoleon I. It marked the final changeover of Prussia onto the side against Napoleon
.
The events that led to this alliance date back to 30 December 1812, at
Prussian Court
dared not throw off the mask yet, and an order was dispatched suspending Yorck from his command pending a court-martial. Two months later, the Prussians officially switched sides when Prussia and Russia signed the treaty and agreed to establish an alliance against Napoleon known as the Kalisz Union.
The treaty is also an interesting example of the predominance of the French language at this time. The text of the treaty was written in French, even though it was intended to arrange hostilities against France.[1]
