The Saxony Wars were a series of conflicts in the early 19th century, primarily involving the Kingdom of Saxony and the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte. These wars were part of the larger context of the Napoleonic Wars, where various European nations fought against French expansion. The conflicts included battles and political maneuvers as Saxony sought to maintain its sovereignty amid growing French influence. The most notable events occurred during the War of the Sixth Coalition (1812-1814), when Saxony was initially allied with France but later switched sides. The wars concluded with the defeat of Napoleon, leading to the Congress of Vienna, which reshaped the political landscape of Europe, including the fate of Saxony.
