The eve of Austerlitz, 1 December 1805, (19th century)
The eve of Austerlitz, 1 December 1805, (19th century). Napoleon rests by a fire with his troops camped near Austerlitz (Slavkov u Brna, Czech Republic). Regarded as Napoleon Bonapartes greatest victory, Austerlitz was a sublime trap that destroyed the armies of his enemies Russia and Austria. Tricking his opponents into thinking he was weaker than he actually was, and then calling in nearby reinforcements, Bonaparte initially met the combined Allied army of 85, 000 men and 278 guns with just 66, 000 men. After much hard fighting the French crushed the Allies. Thousands of fleeing troops drowned when a frozen lake split under the weight of men and guns. French losses amounted to 8000 while the Russian and Austrian emperors, present at the battle, saw more than 27, 000 men killed, wounded and captured. Bonaparte also captured 180 cannon
