Austerlitz

Austerlitz refers to the Battle of Austerlitz, fought on December 2, 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars. Often regarded as one of Napoleon Bonaparte's greatest victories, it saw French forces decisively defeat a coalition of Russian and Austrian armies. The battle is notable for Napoleon's effective use of terrain, strategy, and deception, leading to a significant shift in European political power. The success at Austerlitz solidified Napoleon's dominance in Europe and is sometimes called the "Battle of the Three Emperors" because it involved the emperors of France, Russia, and Austria.
