NEW MAP: Europe 1812: French retreat from Moscow (24 October 1812) https://omniatlas.com/maps/europe/18121024/ Despite the French capture of Moscow, the Russians refused to negotiate and Napoleon eventually realized that he had no option but to withdraw. In late October 1812 the French marched southwest towards Kaluga, in the hope of taking a fresh route back west, but were halted at Maloyaroslavets. Persuaded that the Kaluga road was no longer viable, Napoleon now decided to return along the same route he had come, a path already devastated by his advance. #1810s #1812 #19thcentury #atlas #europe #europeanhistory #france #history #historyclass #historygram #historyinthemaking #historylesson #historylover #historyschool #historyteacher #maps #napoleon #napoleonic #napoleonicwars #october #october24 #frenchhistory #russianempire #peninsularwar #strategy #militaryhistory #welovehistory #worldhistory #newmap (at Maloyaroslavets)

NEW MAP: Europe 1812: Battle of Berezina (26 November 1812) https://buff.ly/3xEUvdU Suffering from the winter, exhausted supply lines, and repeated Russian attacks, the French retreat from Moscow soon degenerated into a disaster. In late November Napoleon narrowly managed to escape across the Berezina, evading a last Russian attempt to destroy his army but losing half his remaining troops. The emperor then raced back to Paris to raise new recruits while the remnants of his Grande Armée—some 10,000 of the over 400,000 who had marched on Moscow just months before—crossed out of Russia. #1810s #1812 #19thcentury #atlas #bonaparte #europe #europeanhistory #france #frenchhistory #frenchempire #frenchrevolution #historic #historisch #historyclass #historyfacts #historymaker #historymatters #historyteacher #janeausten #mapmaking #maps #militaryhistory #napoleon #napoleoni #napoleonic #napoleonicwars #november #november26 #russianempire #newmap (at Borisov, Belarus)

NEW MAP: Europe 1813: Sixth Coalition (3 March 1813) https://buff.ly/3BI3Gxr In early 1813, in the wake of the collapse of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia, Russian forces swept into Prussia and the Duchy of Warsaw. In late February the Prussians secretly agreed to an alliance with Russia, but would not declare war on France until Berlin was liberated. A few days later Britain and Sweden also signed an alliance, marking the beginning of the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon. #1810s #1813 #19thcentury #regencyera #carta #cartografia #europe #europeanhistory #frenchempire #germanhistory #bonaparte #historian #historie #historyinthemaking #historylovers #historymaker #historymuseum #instahistory #maps #march #march3 #militaryhistory #napoleon #napoleonic #napoleonicwars #prussia #russianempire #britishhistory #newmap #russianhistory (at Stockholm, Sweden)

NEW MAP: Europe 1813: Armistice of Pläswitz (4 June 1813) https://buff.ly/3y5l1hm In the spring of 1813 Napoleon counterattacked the advancing Russo-Prussian forces in Saxony, defeating them at Lützen and Bautzen before advancing into Silesia. However, French losses in this campaign were almost as great as those of the Allies, and in early June Napoleon and his opponents agreed to an armistice at Pläswitz. #1810s #1813 #19thcentury #arthistory #austria #axisallies #cartographic #europe #europeanhistory #france #geopolitics #historian #historical #historicalatlas #historicalmap #historisch #history #historylesson #historylovers #june #june4 #maps #napoleon #napoleonicwars #frenchhistory #oldmaps #prussia #russia #saxony #newmap (at Bautzen)

NEW MAP: Europe 1813: Battle of Vitoria (21 June 1813) https://buff.ly/3xgRVei Napoleon’s need to defend against the Sixth Coalition in Germany forced him to pull troops from Spain. In May 1813 Wellington launched a renewed offensive from Portugal, threatening French supply lines to the peninsula by marching on the mountain passes of the western Pyrenees. The French tried to stop him at Vitoria, but were roundly defeated, prompting King Joseph Bonaparte to flee to France. #vitoria #1813 #19thcentury #dukeofwellington #austrianempire #carta #cartography #europe #europeanhistory #frenchempire #frenchhistory #historicalatlas #histories #history #historylesson #historylover #historymatters #historyteacher #june #peninsularwar #maps #napoleon #napoleonicwars #prussia #russianempire #spanishhistory #britishmilitary #worldatlas #worldhistory #newmap (at Vitoria-Gasteiz, Pais Vasco, Spain)

NEW MAP: Europe 1813: Battle of Leipzig (16 October 1813) https://buff.ly/3uWwzCp By October 1813 Russian, Prussian, Austrian, and Swedish armies were converging on the French in Saxony, prompting Napoleon to pull back to Leipzig. However, he was still severely outnumbered and, despite Napoleon’s generalship, the Allies decisively defeated the French in a four-day battle. #1810s #1813 #19thcentury #austrianempire #cartographer #cartographic #europe #europeanhistory #frenchempire #frenchmilitary #frenchhistory #germanhistory #heritage #historian #historicalatlas #history #historylesson #historymatters #historyteacher #map #maps #militaryhistory #napoleon #napoleonicwars #october #october16 #prussia #russianempire #saxony #newmap (at Leipzig, Germany)

NEW MAP: Europe 1813: Treaty of Valençay (11 December 1813) https://buff.ly/39GQZqn By December 1813 the allies were preparing to cross the Rhine into France. To deal with the situation, Napoleon attempted to stabilize the Spanish front by restoring Ferdinand VII of Spain to his throne. However, while the Spanish accepted Ferdinand’s return, they rejected the French peace offer. #1810s #1813 #19thcentury #austrianempire #cartographic #cartography #december #december11 #europe #europeanhistory #frenchempire #historic #historicalatlas #history #historylesson #historymuseum #historynerd #map #mapmaking #maps #napoleon #napoleonicwars #napoleonic #bonaparte #prussia #russianempire #kingdomofspain #spanishempire #peninsularwar #newmap (at Valençay)

NEW MAP: Europe 1814: Treaty of Kiel (14 January 1814) https://buff.ly/38JC9io In late 1813 allied Sweden invaded the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, forcing Denmark to sue for peace. By the Treaty of Kiel, Denmark agreed to cede Norway to Sweden and Heligoland to Britain. Coupled with the defection of Naples a few days earlier, this treaty left Napoleon bereft of allies in Europe. #1810s #1814 #19thcentury #austrianempire #cartographic #cartography #historyofdenmark #europe #europeanhistory #faroeislands #france #greenland #historyofnorway #history #historybuff #historylover #historyoficeland #instahistory #january #january14 #map #mapmaking #maps #napoleon #norwegianhistory #napoleonicwars #swedishhistory #swedishpomerania #britishempire #newmap (at Kiel, Germany)
