Battle of Austerlitz

The Battle of Austerlitz was fought between the French, Holy Roman, and Russian Empires. It was the final and biggest battle of the War of the Third Coalition that ended with a decisive French victory over the Coalition forces. It is considered to be the greatest victory of Napoleon's career and spelled the end of the Holy Roman Empire, which was dissolved following the Treaty of Pressburg that created the Confederation of the Rhine and Emperor Francis II's acknowledgement of his loss of influence in Europe. The French victory in the battle secured their position as the overlord of Europe for the next decade.
