egodeath100:History Meme - War: The Napoleonic Wars 1803-1815The Napoleonic Wars were a series of wars between Napoleon Bonaparte’s France and opposing coalitions. They are considered a continuation of the Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802) and saw Napoleon conquer much of Europe. Both sides claimed victories and defeats, notably The Battle of Austerlitz (1805), where the French saw one of their greatest victories, and Napoleon's disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812. The wars came to an end when the French Army were defeated by the British Empire in the Battle of Waterloo. As a direct result of the wars, the British became the dominant world power for much of the next century. They are also responsible for the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Empire. -- source link
