The Napoleonic Wars.
The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815) were a series of major global conflicts
pitting the French Empire and its allies, led by Napoleon I, against a fluctuating
array of European states formed into various coalitions. The Napoleonic Wars are
often described as five conflicts, each termed after the coalition that fought
Napoleon: the Third Coalition (1803–1806), the Fourth (1806–1807), the Fifth
(1809), the Sixth (1813–1814), and the Seventh (1815) plus the Peninsular War
(1807–1814) and the French invasion of Russia (1812).
Who is Napoleon?
Napoleon Bonaparte ( also known as
Napoleone Buonaparte) was a French
political and military leader whose
actions shaped the whole history of
France and the European countries
during the 19th century. He was born in
Italy in the 15th of August, 1769. He
died in May 5, 1821. Bonaparte was
buried in December 15, 1840.
Main cause of the Napoleonic wars.
The wars stemmed from the unresolved disputes associated with the
French Revolution and the French Revolutionary Wars consisting of
the War of the First Coalition (1792–1797) and the War of the Second
Coalition (1798–1802).
One of the important Napoleonic wars
 The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday, 18 June 1815, near Waterloo in
the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, now in Belgium. Waterloo was not just
a military battle. It was also a battle between the concepts of the nation state and
the supranational state. The U.K. and its allies were fighting Napoleon's desire
to impose a single state in Europe, which he would control. The combined
number of men killed or injured reached nearly 50,000, with close to 25,000
victims on the French side and approximately 23,000 for the Allied army.
 Napoleon Bonaparte suffered defeat at the hands of the Duke of Wellington,
bringing an end to the Napoleonic era of European history.
