Historical context: After the disaster of the Russian campaign, the debris of the Grande Arm e had abandoned Berlin and retired behind the left bank of the Elbe. Napol on was able to reconstitute an army of 300,000 men by summoning to the colors those young soldiers who soon came to be called by the name Marie-Louise . Europe formed a coalition against France: Prussia and Russia wanted to crush Napol on permanently. Despite his victories during the spring and summer, Austria soon joined the side of the Empire s enemies. Gigantic maneuvers and great battles followed one after the other within the triangle formed by Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden. Whereas his victories were no longer decisive, Napol on knew now that a single defeat could pull down his Empire !
