The end result, however, was the Battle of Waterloo, where the British Duke of Wellington held out against repeated French attacks, almost losing - but held on long enough for the Prussians to arrive and defeat Napoleon. Rather than wait for an invasion, he went on the offensive with 200,000 men, which started off well for France. Great Britain, Russia, Austria and Prussia immediately declared war and raised more than half a million men to fight the French. By the time he arrived, the king had fled and Napoleon was emperor again. As he marched on Paris, his army only grew. He eventually escaped, landed on French soil, and when confronted by troops "loyal" to the restored monarch, he approached them by himself and dared them to kill him. Napoleon led a disastrous invasion of the Russian Empire in 1812, which eventually led to his capture and exile to the island of Elba, in the Mediterranean. Amid the battle, he lured the Russians onto a frozen body of water, and used artillery to destroy the ice under their feet, as depicted in the "Napoleon" trailer. Napoleon crushed the center of the Allied army and marched outward across both flanks. Near the village of Austerlitz, Napoleon met two other emperors and their armies, Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Emperor Francis II of Austria. After a brief peace, he conquered much of Europe against the Third Coalition. He crowned himself emperor and formed the Grande Armée. He returned, overthrew the government and ruled as a de facto dictator and led the French on an offensive campaign. While Napoleon was away, France was being beaten by a Second Coalition of European monarchies that threatened the republic's survival yet again. But while Napoleon had been fighting the Mamluks, British admiral Horatio, Lord Nelson had destroyed the French fleet at the mouth of the Nile River 4. He was stopped at Acre (called Akko today). From there, he moved east into the Ottoman Empire, where he began a brutal conquest of what is today much of Israel. In July 1798, Napoleon landed in Egypt and fought and defeated the ruling Mamluks at the Battle of the Pyramids, giving him control of much of the country. He attacked Egypt to cut the British off from India. He set his sights on Britain next, but he didn't have the navy for an invasion, so he hit the British in their pocketbooks. Battle of the PyramidsĪfter the uprising of 13 Vendémiaire, Napoleon took command of the Army of Italy, conquered most of Italy and the Low Countries, then spent a few months knocking Austria around, all in less than two years. It earned him national fame and won the revolution for the Republic. Napoleon, artillery officer that he was, brought cannons into the streets and used grapeshot to repel the Royalists, then chased them down in a slaughter. Napoleon, though down on his luck, came to Paris and was drafted into its defense by the commander of the city. With 25,000 enemy soldiers approaching, the leaders of the revolution knew they were in deep: Paris could only muster 5,000 defenders. In October 1795, a Royalist force, allied with a Coalition of European monarchies, began to march on Paris - and it looked like some Republican units might switch sides. The republic began to make a lot of enemies around France after Toulon, enemies who joined the Royalist cause. By 1795, Napoleon was a general in the republic's army, but both his future and that of the republic were not looking bright.
