“Holy Roman Empire”
I very much doubt that, it would be more like “The Emperor=Austria and its allies within the empire”
Prussia for example was also a member of the empire and didnt yet join any coalition against France.
The HRE in 1805 was basically only a prestigious title with no power anymore
“You cannot stop me, I spend 30,000 lives a month.”
Gigachad
Battle of Austerlitz go brrrr
The city in the painting is Ulm. Was that part of Austria back then?
Pretty sure he didn’t defeat Britain. 1805 was the same year as the Battle of Trafalgar. The Coalition was defeated sure but not the UK, not on land or sea.
I have flashback from the video game Napoléon Total War.

” Je suis Napoléon, je suis empereur … ( HMS Victory ) .. brûlez le ! “
but the UK propaganda was savage. We still say he was short and believe it, 200 years after. Misinformation mastery.
Quite impressive
No matter Waterloo . ended him hahaha 😂
Vive la France et Vive l’Empereur!
Napoleon started the end of monarchy and the beginning of the current democracy wave in the world.
Code Napoleon was his largest mark in history, because it was kept alive in different forms in many European countries after the defeat of Napoleon. So he lost in war, but won in legacy.
Then people compare Napoleon to evil dictators. History education is low.
Any recommendations on books about his life?
He did not defeat Russia
