الملخص
During the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte (1804-1815), France became a powerful influential state within the European continent, expanding at the expense of various European powers. This led to the formation of European alliances, with the Russian Emperor Alexander I (1801-1825) at the forefront, striving to curb France's ambitions in Europe. These alliances, led by Russia, ultimately succeeded in defeating Napoleon and his military strength.
The study is divided into an introduction and three sections. In the introduction, the main reasons that prompted Russia to be among the first countries to resist Napoleon and his foreign policy are discussed. The first section covers the military efforts exerted by Emperor Alexander I to confront Napoleon Bonaparte between 1812-1813, with the failed campaign of Napoleon on Moscow in 1812 marking the beginning of the end for his empire and glory. This defeat led to successive defeats for Napoleon and his army, making Emperor Alexander I the leader of the European monarchs in their wars against Napoleon.
The second section focuses on the important preparations made by Emperor Alexander I and his allies to storm Paris and defeat Napoleon from late 1813 to the first quarter of 1814. It discusses the seriousness of the Russian attempt to seek revenge on Napoleon in his own territory, in collaboration with the countries affected by Napoleon's continuous policies and wars. The Emperor worked to establish alliances with these countries, proving their effectiveness in battles against Napoleon, notably the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, which opened the way to Paris for the allies after Napoleon's retreat.
The third section addresses the entry of the Russian Emperor Alexander I and his allies into the city of Paris on March 31, 1814, imposing their conditions as victorious over the greatest leader in Europe, causing great impact on the kings and peoples of Europe, resonating significantly in the world at that time.
