Leipzig · 1813

The turning point of the War of the Sixth Coalition. After the catastrophe of 1812, Russia, Prussia, Austria, Sweden and their allies sought to break the French system in Germany and dissolve the Confederation of the Rhine; Napoleon's defeat forced the French back beyond the Rhine and opened the road into France.
