The Napoleonic Wars were a series of conflicts that took place between 1803 and 1815, involving France and several European powers, including Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia.The wars were sparked by the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, who had become the ruler of France following the French Revolution. Napoleon sought to expand French territory and establish a French-dominated Europe.
The conflicts were characterized by several key battles, including the Battle of Austerlitz and the Battle of Waterloo, and were fought mainly between the French Empire and the armies of the European powers.
The wars ended with the defeat of Napoleon and the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1815, which saw France lose territories and established a new balance of power in Europe.
