The Battle of Austerlitz, fought on December 2, 1805, is often regarded as the decisive engagement that ensured French control over much of the European continent. Also known as the Battle of the Three Emperors, it saw Napoleon Bonaparte's forces decisively defeat the combined armies of Russia and Austria. This victory solidified French dominance in Europe and led to the establishment of the Confederation of the Rhine, effectively diminishing the influence of Austria and strengthening Napoleon's power.

Once the British acquired control of Canada from the French, they never ceded control to any other European power. Originally, most of Canada was French. The dominion of New France was centered in Quebec but included French claims to the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. After the fall of Quebec in 1759, the French and Indian War concluded with the British takeover of Canada in 1763 and the sovereignty of Spain over the lower regions of the Louisiana Territory. France regained control of Louisiana in 1801 and sold it to the US in 1803.
