Years: 1804 - 1815
Alexander's primary focus is not on domestic policy but on foreign affairs, and particularly on Napoleon.
Fearing Napoleon's expansionist ambitions and the growth of French power, Alexander joins Britain and Austria against Napoleon.
Napoleon defeats the Russians and Austrians at Austerlitz in 1805 and trounces the Russians at Friedland in 1807.
Alexander is forced to sue for peace, and by the Treaty of Tilsit, signed in 1807, he becomes Napoleon's ally.
Russia loses little territory under the treaty, and Alexander makes use of his alliance with Napoleon for further expansion.
He wrests the Grand Duchy of Finland from Sweden in 1809 and acquires Bessarabia from Turkey in 1812.
