At Austerlitz in Moravia on 2 December 1805.
The Austrian Empire.
As the French would say, "Nous sommes un gros tas de pussies."
Yes they did. Prussian and Russian Armies invaded France in 1814 after Napoleon defeat at the Battle of Leipzig.
Britain, Prussia, Holland, New Brunswick, and Nassau combined to beat Napoleon.
Both invading armies suffered from the severe Russian Winters . The Germans had to deal with temperatures 50 degrees below zero .
The Austrian Empire.
The European Allies that had defeated Napoleon and sent him into exile were preparing to defeat him again as he returned from exile. A brief outline of their plans included the concentration of four armies. France's eastern and northeastern borders were targeted. An Austrian army of 200,000 was to enter France through Alsace-Lorraine, to be followed later in the Summer by a Russian army of about 150,000 troops. A Prussian army of over 100,000 was to march into southern Belgium and an Anglo-Dutch army, formed on a British nucleus already in the Low Countries was to focus in the north. When in position all the armies would conduct a simultaneous assault and defeat Napoleon. Hopefully for the final time.
Army of Jericho.
Tannenberg. The actual defeat of the Russians was spread over a large area and the battle was only called after this place because the Poles had defeated the Teutonic Knights at Tannenberg in 1410. Tannenbaum. This is a widely studied battle in which a small part of the German army defeated a much larger Russian force, thus protecting Germany's eastern frontier from a Russian invasion. The bulk of the German army (about 85%) was fighting in France at the time. The German plan was to send most of its army into France and quickly defeat the French army, then race east to defeat the slower-mobilizing Russians. If not for the victory at Tannenbaum, the Germans might have had to pull armies out of France to prevent a Russian invasion into Germany.
It ended in the defeat of the Russians.
Three results of World War 1 include defeat of central forces led by Germany, four empires collapsed (Turkish, German, Austrian and Russian) and it led to the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.
