Battle of Austerlitz

The Battle of Austerlitz (Bitva u Slavkova) also known as the Battle of the Three Emperors, was one of Napoleon's greatest victories, effectively destroying the Third Coalition against the French Empire. On December 2 1805 (November 20, Old Style), French troops, commanded by Emperor Napoleon I, decisively defeated a Russo-Austrian army, commanded by Tsar Alexander I, after nearly nine hours of difficult fighting in many sectors. The battle took place at Austerlitz (Slavkov u Brna) about 20 km (12 miles) east of Brno (Brünn) in Moravia. The battle is often regarded as a tactical masterpiece.
