The Sixth Coalition was a military alliance formed in 1812 during the Napoleonic Wars, primarily against Napoleon Bonaparte. It included major powers such as Austria, Prussia, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. The coalition aimed to defeat Napoleon and restore stability in Europe after years of conflict. The coalition's efforts culminated in several significant battles, including the decisive Battle of Leipzig in 1813. This defeat weakened Napoleon's forces and led to his abdication in 1814. The Sixth Coalition played a crucial role in reshaping Europe and establishing a balance of power following the Napoleonic Wars.
