Napoleonic Wars 1809 - 14: Downfall

This compilation of our Napoleonic Wars series covers the period from 1809 to the Emperor’s abdication in 1814. Along the way we encounter the horrors of the French occupation of Spain and Portugal, Napoleon’s disastrous invasion of Russia, and the great struggle for German in 1813. The series concludes with arguably Napoleon’s finest campaign - his doomed defence of Paris in 1814.
