    28 - S - The Napoleonic Wars

    Uploaded by

    rzgm6c4mm8
    The Napoleonic Wars were a series of conflicts between France and several European powers from 1803 to 1815. Some key battles included the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where the British navy led by Horatio Nelson defeated the French, though Nelson died in the battle. In 1805 the Battle of Austerlitz resulted in a French victory over Russia and Austria that was considered Napoleon's greatest victory. Napoleon later declared a Continental Blockade against British trade but it failed as European countries continued trading with Britain. Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 marked the beginning of his decline as Tsar Alexander withdrew from the blockade and Napoleon was forced to retreat from Moscow.
