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<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The main points of the memorial events program are Saturday\u2019s re-enactment of the battle taking place near the village of Tvaro\u017en\u00e1 under the Santon Hill on the northern edge of the historic battlefield, remarkable for its size of approximately 10 \u00d7 12 kilometres. On Sunday noon on the Pratzenberg, the place of the cruelest fights of the battle, in front of the Peace Monument dedicated to war victims, an act of piety takes place to commemorate not only military but also civilian victims of the Battle of Austerlitz. These memorial events do not celebrate Napoleon or his victory let alone wars and battles. Political and war events that have radically influenced and then for a long time divided Europe have become a reason for meeting and sharing common interest of many people in many countries of the world. The goal of such events is a commemoration and cognition of the common European history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S8YnCrqqYpQ\" allowfullscreen=\"\" height=\"480\" width=\"853\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">3rd December 2022, Re-enactment of the Battle of the Three Emperors \u2013 Tvaro\u017en\u00e1, Santon<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/A2021_en.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2261\" src=\"http:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/A2021_en-300x228.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/A2021_en-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/A2021_en-768x584.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/A2021_en-1024x779.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/A2021_en-394x300.jpg 394w, https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/A2021_en.jpg 1312w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The theme of this year\u2019s re-enactment held on the occasion of the 217th anniversary of the Battle of the Three Emperors will be Napoleon\u2019s \u201cLion\u2019s Leap\u201d and the decisive struggle on the Pratzen Heights, with an emphasis on moments colorfully described in his memoirs by French Brigadier General Thi\u00e9bault.
