France included, in addition to France itself, Belgium, the Netherlands, the left bank of the Rhine, as well as territories on the coast of the North Sea, the Kingdom of Italy, the Papal States, and the Illyrian provinces. The use of conquered countries for the economic and political development of France itself.

Fighting anti-French coalitions. Napoleon created a real military threat or perceptions of it to put pressure on countries that were part of coalitions. Concluding an alliance with potential enemies. However, these "allied" relations, as a rule, turned into vassal ones: either the allies themselves became part of French territory, or representatives of Napoleon's family or his marshals appeared on the royal thrones of Europe Events 1805 – victory at Austerlitz, defeat of the united Russian-Austrian army. 1806 – unification of 16 German principalities into the Confederation of the Rhine, establishment of a French protectorate. 1807 – conclusion of the Peace of Tilsit with Russia, beginning of the continental blockade of England. 1812 - the beginning of the military operation against Russia, the French captured Moscow, but were unable to hold the city.

The situation on the island of Corsica. The island's isolation, the clashes between clans, blood feuds and hostility towards the newcomers, the French - all this was reflected in the impressions of little Napoleon. l Mother's upbringing. Maria Letizia Ramolino was an ambitious, strong woman with a strong character. She raised her children in strictness, fairness and discipline. Napoleon inherited from his mother a love of work and strict order in affairs. Bullying at a military school. The reason for the bullying was the fact that Napoleon was not a representative of a noble family, as well as his Italian accent.

From childhood Napoleon read a huge number of books, he spent almost all his free time on this. He was most interested in books on military history, mathematics, geography, descriptions of travels However, he always spoke with a strong Corsican accent (ou or u instead of eu). This gave rise to ridicule at school and in the army. The architect Pierre Fontaine considered such a strong accent "unimaginable for a man of his position; sanguine is characterized by activity, mobility, efficiency, energy, a fast pace of speech and a variety of facial expressions

However, Napoleon also had choleric traits: he was prone to emotional instability, made decisions quickly, but at the same time sought leadership as the only possible ally for France and sought peace and neutrality for the country. For example, in 1807, he sought to emphasize his disposition towards Russia by negotiating with Alexander I in Tilsit. As a result, an agreement was reached on the division of spheres of influence, known as the Peace of Tilsit. However, when Napoleon began the war of 1812, he did not lay claim to the Russian faith, fatherland and freedom. His goal was to force Russia to renounce Poland and to observe the continental blockade, tirelessly riding horses and walking. Sometimes he walked incognito, accompanied by marshals, but not far from the place of stay.

During campaigns, Napoleon always wore a cocked hat, but hats often changed: in anger, the commander had the habit of throwing them on the ground and trampling them with his feet

He assembled an army of young and old men and trained it on the march to Germany. In May 1813, in the battles of Lützen and Bautzen, Napoleon managed to defeat the allies, despite the lack of cavalry. On June 4, an armistice was concluded, with Austria acting as a mediator between the warring parties. Austrian Foreign Minister Metternich, at meetings with Napoleon in Dresden, proposed concluding peace on the terms of restoring Prussia, dividing Poland between Russia, Prussia and Austria and returning Illyria to the Austrians; but Napoleon, considering military conquests the basis of his power, refused. Experiencing an acute financial crisis and tempted by English subsidies, at the end of the armistice on August 10, Austria joined the Sixth Coalition. Sweden did the same. In accordance with the Trachenberg Plan, the allies formed three armies under the command of Bernadotte, Blucher and Schwarzenberg. Napoleon also divided his forces. In the major battle at Dresden, Napoleon gained the upper hand over the allies; however, his marshals, acting independently, suffered a series of painful defeats at Kulm, Katzbach, Grossbeeren and Dennewitz. In the face of impending encirclement, Napoleon with an army of 160,000 gave a general battle at Leipzig to the combined Russian, Austrian, Prussian and Swedish troops, totaling 320,000 men (16–19 October 1813). On the third day of this “Battle of the Nations”, the Saxons from Rainier’s corps went over to the allies, and then the Württemberg cavalry. The defeat in the Battle of the Nations led to the secession of Germany and Holland, the disintegration of the Swiss Confederation, the Confederation of the Rhine and the Kingdom of Italy. In Spain, where the French were defeated, Napoleon had to restore the power of the Spanish Bourbons (November 1813

The fire that immediately followed destroyed most of the city. Counting on concluding peace with Alexander, Napoleon remained in Moscow for an unreasonably long time; finally, on October 19, he left the city in a southwesterly direction. Having failed to overcome the Russian army's defenses on October 24 at Maloyaroslavets, the Grand Army was forced to retreat across the already devastated terrain in the direction of Smolensk. The Russian army followed a parallel march, inflicting losses on the enemy both in battle and through guerrilla actions. Suffering from hunger, the soldiers of the Grand Army turned to robbers and rapists; the angry population responded with no less cruelty, burying captured marauders alive. In mid-November, Napoleon entered Smolensk and found no food supplies there. As a result, he was forced to retreat further toward the Russian border. With great difficulty he managed to avoid complete defeat when crossing the Berezina on November 27-28. Napoleon's huge, multi-ethnic army did not carry the same revolutionary spirit; far from its homeland, on the fields of Russia, it quickly melted away. Having received news of an attempted coup in Paris and wanting to gather new troops, Napoleon left for Paris on December 5. In his last bulletin, he acknowledged the disaster, but attributed it solely to the severity of Russian winter weather, although winter weather appeared only at the very end of Napoleon's campaign. Only 25,000 soldiers returned from Russia out of the 450,000 that were part of the central part of the Grand Army. Napoleon lost almost all of his horses in Russia; he was never able to compensate for this loss. The defeat in the Russian campaign put an end to the legend of Bonaparte's invincibility. Despite the fatigue of the Russian army and the unwillingness of Russian military leaders to continue the war outside of Russia, Alexander I decided to transfer the fighting to Germany. Prussia joined the new anti-Napoleonic coalition

decided to go to war with Russia. 450 thousand soldiers, gathered into the Grand Army from different European countries, crossed the Russian border in June 1812; they were opposed by 193 thousand soldiers in two Russian western armies [Napoleon tried to force the Russian troops into a general battle; evading the superior enemy and trying to unite, the two Russian armies retreated deep into the country, leaving behind devastated territory.

Having united near Smolensk, the Russian armies tried to defend the city, but without success; on August 18, they were forced to resume their retreat towards Moscow. The united Russian army was led by M. I. Kutuzov. The general battle fought by the Russian troops on September 7 near the village of Borodino before Moscow did not bring Napoleon a decisive victory; the Russian troops were forced to retreat again. On September 14, the Grand Army entered Moscow. The fire that immediately spread thereafter destroyed most of the city. Counting on concluding peace with Alexander, Napoleon remained in Moscow for an unjustifiably long time; Finally, on October 19, he left the city in a southwesterly direction.

It went down in history as the "Battle of the Three Emperors" because the armies of the Austrian Emperor Franz II and the Russian Emperor Alexander I fought against the army of Emperor Napoleon I. The battle ended with the defeat of the allied armies. The allies lost 27 thousand people (10 thousand killed and 17 thousand captured) and 155 guns, the French - up to 12 thousand people. The result of the battle was Austria's withdrawal from the war and the collapse of the Third Anti-French Coalition of European powers.

The war was caused by a complex of political and economic contradictions between the Russian Empire and France. Some reasons: Napoleon I Bonaparte's desire to dominate Europe. The desire of Emperor Alexander I to restore the balance of power between the leading European states, to preserve the traditional influence of the Russian Empire in the German states and the Middle East. Russia's withdrawal from the terms of the continental blockade of Great Britain, which it was effectively forced to join under the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807. In the first stage of the war (from June to September 1812), the Russian army fought its way back from the borders of Russia to Moscow, fighting the Battle of Borodino near Moscow. The stage ended with the surrender and burning of Moscow. At the beginning of the second stage of the war (from October to December 1812), Napoleon's army maneuvered, trying to retreat to winter quarters in areas not devastated by the war, and then retreated to the borders of Russia, pursued by the Russian army, hunger and frost. Some events of the war: June 12 - Napoleon's invasion of Russia; October 12 - Battle of Maloyaroslavets, Napoleon's troops were unable to break through to the south to the strategically important regions of the Russian Empire, they were forced to return to the Smolensk road they had destroyed and begin a retreat; November 14–16 — the French suffered serious losses while crossing the Berezina River.

Napoleon's losses in Russia: 200,000 killed, 150–190,000 captured, 130,000 deserters. The war officially ended after the manifesto of Alexander I, the date of which is considered to be December 25, 1812.
