 Research limitations/Future research: the limitation of the study is to take into account the ways of economic support of the war of the late XVIII – early XIX centuries on the example of the Franco-Russian war of 1812-1814.

In the course of the campaign, the army paymasters (intendance militaire) were in charge of receiving and distributing these funds. Once the fighting was over, a settlement body (Caisse d’amortissement) had the task of managing the war monies, up until, that is, the creation of the Domaine extraordinaire in 1810.
