War of the Sixth Coalition

The War of the Sixth Coalition (1812–1814) was a conflict where a group of European nations, including Britain, Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Sweden, united to oppose France under Napoleon Bonaparte. After Napoleon's aggressive conquests, these countries formed a coalition to stop his expansion. The war saw major battles across Europe, culminating in Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Leipzig. Following the defeat, Napoleon was forced to abdicate in 1814, leading to his exile on Elba. The coalition’s victory reshaped Europe's political landscape, ending Napoleon’s dominance and restoring monarchies.
