Napoleon's Campaigns
Napoleon's Campaigns refer to a series of military operations led by Napoleon Bonaparte during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. These campaigns aimed to expand the French Empire across Europe, showcasing innovative tactics and strategies. Key battles included the Battle of Austerlitz and the Battle of Waterloo, which highlighted his military genius and the eventual decline of his power.
The campaigns were marked by significant battles, alliances, and conflicts with various European powers, including Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Napoleon's ambition ultimately led to his downfall, as the Sixth Coalition defeated him in 1814, resulting in his first exile to Elba.
