The Battle of Leipzig, 1813. "The Battle of the Nations" Napoleon Loses France's Empire, France Invaded
Leipzig was more than just a battlefield victory; it was a turning point in history. It showed the world that even Napoleon, the man who had once seemed invincible, could be defeated. And it proved something else—that Europe’s nations, fractured by war for so long, could unite, and in doing so, reshape the future of the continent.
Leipzig. 16th - 18th October, 1813.
Allied Forces: 57,000 Prussians, 160,000 Austrians and Russians, 65,000 Swedes and Russians.
France's Forces: 160,000 Soldiers.
