We are preparing the 215th anniversary of the Battle of Austerlitz (December 2nd, 1805), the Battle of the Three Emperors \u2013 Austerlitz 2020, which will take place on November 27th\u201329th. In June 2020, great re-enactment commemorations were canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic: the 220th anniversary of the Battle of Marengo (June 14th, 1800), the 205th anniversary of the battles of Ligny (June 16th, 1815) and Waterloo (June 18th, 1815). The anniversary of Austerlitz will present the Napoleonic era with program inspired by one of the most important battles of history.<\/p>\n
The event is being prepared by the Central European Napoleonic Society, Tvaro\u017en\u00e1 and Prace communities and Austerlitz z.s. The event is financially supported by the South Moravian Region.<\/p>\n
At Austerlitz, the Emperor of the French Napoleon I has decided, within a span of few hours, the outcome of the 1805 campaign and the entire war of the 3rd coalition. The defeated Russian Emperor Alexander I and his army have left the Central Europe; the war between France and Russia would however continue until 1807, ending with the battle of Friedland and the Tilsit peace treaty. The Austrian Emperor Francis I accepted the conditions of armistice signed on the 6th December 1805 at chateau Austerlitz and later also the conditions of the severe Presburg peace treaty signed on the 26th December. The severity of these conditions and Napoleon\u2019s rising influence in Germany led in three years to another conflict between Austria and France, the war of 1809, culminating in Moravia again, at the battle of Znaim. The Napoleonic epopee continued by the Russian campaign of 1812, the war of the 6th coalition in 1813\u20131814 and culminated by the battle of Waterloo.<\/p>\n
