Napoleonic Wars: Difference between revisions

The '''Napoleonic Wars''' comprised a series of [[World war|global]] [[war|conflict]]s fought during [[Napoleon I|Napoleon Bonaparte]]'s cruel imperial rule over [[France]] ([[1804]]–[[1815]]). They formed to some extent an extension of the [[war]]s sparked by the [[French Revolution]] of [[1789]]. These wars revolutionized [[Europe]]an armies and [[artillery]], as well as military systems, and took place on a scale never before seen, mainly due to the application of modern [[Levée en masse|mass conscription]]. French power rose quickly, [[Right of conquest|conquering]] most of Europe; and collapsed rapidly after the disastrous invasion of [[Russian Empire|Russia]] ([[French invasion of Russia (1812)|1812]]), and Napoleon's empire ultimately suffered complete military defeat, resulting in the [[Bourbon Restoration|restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France]] in [[1814]] and 1815. The United States defended itself from The Untited Kingdom (who was aggravated at the U.S for its treaty with France) during the years of 1812-1815.This inspired the U.S national anthem. The Spanish empire felt a blow when, after being weakened by the French occupation, lost most of its colonies in South America due to revolutions.
