Napoleonic Wars- Battle for France 1814 - Universal History

After his defeat in the gigantic Battle of Leipzig (October 1813), Napoleon's final defeat seemed only a matter of time. But when the Coalition armies crossed the Rhine and invaded France, Napoleon—outnumbered four to one—began one of the most daring and brilliant campaigns in military history. Napoleon's hope that his victories would cause a fatal split in the Coalition failed to materialize, however, and ultimately, Schwarzenberg and Blücher's dash for Paris would seal the fate of the Napoleonic Empire.
