двухсотлетию взятия Парижа русскими войсками

[Fortinbras]

The Russian forces then assailed the Montmartre Heights, where Joseph's headquarters had been at the beginning of the battle. Control of the heights was severely contested, and Joseph fled the city. Marmont contacted the Coalition and reached a secret agreement with them. Shortly afterwards, he marched his soldiers to a position, where they were quickly surrounded by Coalition troops; Marmont then surrendered, as had been agreed.

Alexander sent an envoy to meet with the French to hasten the surrender. The Tsar Alexander offered generous terms to the French and declared himself to be bringing peace to France rather than its destruction. On March 31 Talleyrand gave the key of the city to the Tsar. Later that day the Coalition armies entered the city with the Tsar at the head of the army followed by the King of Prussia and Schwarzenberg. On April 2, the Senate passed the Acte de déchéance de l'Empereur, which declared Napoleon deposed.

Благородные были времена.. Десятками тысяч погибали во время сражений, но при этом не было ожесточения по отношению к пленным и к гражданским жителям.

Впрочем, может быть мы просто не все знаем...

В другой ветви форума идет разговор на тему абьюза. Грустная страница истории России в том что многие из тех кто вошли в Париж подвергались нещадным побоям в течении 25 лет. Я тоже потомок тех кто прошел 25 летнюю службу -- для евреев ее ввели в 1828м году.

Но и в США положение рабов было еще хуже чем крепостных в России. Они чаще подвергались жестокости и их трудовая повинность была намного больше. Средний крепостной работал 2,400 часов в год, раб в США 3,300 часов в год, раб на Карибских Островах 3,600 часов в год.
