The Napoleonic Wars
“All my life I have sacrificed everything to my destiny—peace of mind, interest, happiness.”
— Napoleon Bonaparte
Following the French Revolution of 1789, Europe was plunged into a series of great power conflicts which lasted from 1792 to 1815. Seven coalitions were formed against Revolutionary France. Napoleonic armies marched from Lisbon to Moscow; to the Scandinavian Peninsula and the Mediterranean islands. The conflict was global in its scale and impact. Major battles and massive changes occurred in Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
By 1815, several empires had fallen but the ancien régime had emerged victorious against the forces of the French Revolution. They would retain this power until the outbreak of the First World War, 99 years later.
