Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, became virtual dictator of western and central Europe with the conclusion of the Treaty of Tilsit in July 1807, by the elimination of two erstwhile enemies: the King of Prussia, beaten into accepting a humiliating peace, and Czar Alexander I of Russia, forced to recognize the existence of the Duchy of Warsaw and the French satellite organization of the 'Confederation of the Rhine' (both mostly appropriated from Prussia), and to support Napoleon's 'Continental System' intended to ruin Britain's trade. Austria's capitulation after the Battle of Wagram in 1809 left only the British and nationalist armies in the Iberian peninsula resisting Napoleon.
