was broken off and the war resumed.
The war went on until Austria, a
neutral power, threatened to join the
allies unless the Gar accepted her
ultimatum. He at first refused, but
a personal letter from the neutral
King of Prussia induced him to re-
consider, and the final peace confer
ence was held.
"The war of Italy, France, and
Austria in 1859 was terminated in
surprising fashion by an armistice
agreed on personally between Napol-
con Ill. and Franz Josef, just as the
French and Italian armlesl were IN
the full tide of success. Victor En-
manuel was forced to agree, and the
terms of the armistice were embod-
led in peace treaty.
1.-THE war between Prussia and
Denmark in 1864 came abruptly to
an end when the Danes learned that
neither England nor France would
help them. They dismissed their
war ministry from Office and sent
proposals for a truce directly to Ber-
lin and Vienna.
"The terms of peace between the
United States and tie Confederacy
were arranged by generals in the
field.
s'In the war between Austria,
Prussia, and Italy in 1866, Franz
Josef, after his defeats at Konig-
gratz and elsewhere, informed Ma
poleon Ill. of his willingness to cede
Venetia to Italy and his desire that
Napoleon be mediator. Napoleon &C
cepted, and Bismarck drafted the
terms and sent them to Napoleon,
who as mediator, accepted them. An
armistice followed.
I'm 1870 the French government
which succeeded Napoleon III. asked
first for an armistice, then for peace,
but the requests were declined and
tie seige of Paris began After the
surrender of Paris the Germans con-
Sented to an armistice to permit the
|election OF a National Assembly
which it cbuld recognize. The pre-
liminaries of peace were agreed on
between Bismarck and Theirs at Yer
sailles, and the treaty followed at
Frankfort.

Russia put an end to the Turco-
