The Battle of Austerlitz

The Battle of Austerlitz, also known as the Battle of the Three Emperors, was one of the most important and decisive encounters of the Napoleonic Wars. The battle took place near the town of Austerlitz near Brno in the Austrian Empire ( modern-day Slavkov u Brna in the Czech Republic). It took place on 2 December 1805 in Moravia in the area southeast of Brno and west of Austerlitz near Brno. Here the French army led by Emperor Napoleon overwhelmingly defeated the army of the Third Coalition, which was represented by the soldiers of the Russian Empire led by Tsar Alexander I and General M. I. Kutuzov and the troops of the Austrian Empire under the supreme command of Emperor Francis I.
