As Napoleon waited for his Minister of Foreign Affairs to arrive, he flipped through a stack of treaties that the French Republic had signed with the Kingdom of Spain. Berthier, his Minister of War, also skimmed through the documents to catch up.
Berthier looked up from the treaties and met Napoleon's gaze.
"So the French Republic signed a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Spain in the year 1795. It's called the Peace of Basel, where the Kingdom of Spain ceded half of the island of Hispaniola to the Republic of France in exchange for the Gipuzkoa," Berthier remarked, breaking the silence as he read through the treaties.
Napoleon nodded, affirming Berthier's statement. "Right, the Peace of Basel marked the end of hostilities in the Pyrenees front. It also set the stage for the later alliance between the Kingdom of Spain and us."
