Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Battle of the Nations Monument in Leipzig 01.jpg |
English: The Battle of Leipzig or Battle of the Nations (Russian: Битва народов, Bitva narodov; German: Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig; French: Bataille des Nations) was fought from 16 to 19 October 1813, at Leipzig, Saxony. The coalition armies of Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Sweden, led by Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg, decisively defeated the French army of Napoleon I, Emperor of the French. Napoleon's army also contained Polish and Italian troops, as well as Germans from the Confederation of the Rhine. The battle was the culmination of the 1813 German campaign and involved nearly 600,000 soldiers, making it the largest battle in Europe prior to World War I.
Being decisively defeated for the first time in battle, Napoleon was compelled to return to France while the Coalition hurried to keep their momentum, invading France early the next year. Napoleon was forced to abdicate and was exiled to Elba in May 1814.
Deutsch: Die Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig vom 16. bis 19. Oktober 1813 war die Entscheidungsschlacht der Befreiungskriege. Dabei kämpften die Truppen der Verbündeten Russland, Preußen, Österreich und Schweden gegen die Truppen Napoleon Bonapartes.[6]
Mit bis zu 600.000 beteiligten Soldaten aus über einem Dutzend Ländern war dieser Kampf bis zum Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wahrscheinlich die größte Schlacht der Weltgeschichte.[7] In dieser wichtigsten Schlacht des Befreiungskrieges gegen die napoleonische Fremdherrschaft brachten die zahlenmäßig überlegenen verbündeten Heere der Österreicher, Preußen, Russen und Schweden Napoleon Bonaparte die entscheidende Niederlage bei, die ihn dazu zwang, sich mit der verbliebenen Restarmee und ohne Verbündete aus Deutschland zurückzuziehen. In der Schlacht wurden von den rund 600.000 beteiligten Soldaten 92.000 getötet oder verwundet. Zum einhundertsten Jahrestag wurde 1913 in Leipzig das 91 Meter hohe Völkerschlachtdenkmal fertiggestellt. Dieses Wahrzeichen wurde in der Nähe des Gebietes errichtet, in dem die heftigsten Kämpfe stattfanden und die meisten Soldaten fielen. |
