Napoleon Endgame: France 1814

Schwarzenberg and Blücher’s dash for Paris would seal the fate of the Napoleonic Empire

Following his defeat in the giant Battle of Leipzig (Oct 1813), Napoleon’s final defeat seemed only a matter of time. But when Coalition armies crossed the Rhine and invaded France, Napoleon – outnumbered 4 to 1 – began one of the most daring and brilliant campaigns in military history. However Napoleon’s hope that his victories would cause a fatal split in the Coalition did not materialise, and eventually, Schwarzenberg and Blücher’s dash for Paris would seal the fate of the Napoleonic Empire.
