  • Battle of Leipzig: Napoleon's Real Waterloo?
    Dec 2 2025

    Coming on the defeat and loss of the Grand Armee in Russia, Napoleon's invincibiliy and his PR machine took a big hit. Closing following on the heels of this defeat, Napoleon put together another Grand Armee, but perhaps this one was more of an "Just Okay" Armee...many young and untested soldiers made up the ranks.

    At the Battle of Leipzig, this Okay Armee was roundly defeated and soon after, Napoleon was forced to abdicate.

    He did come back for one more go, for abut 100 days, and The English Army of the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian army decisively defeated Napoleon which ended in his final exile

    Was Leipzig, following quickly on the heels of the defeat in Russia, really the end of Napoleon? Was Waterloo the takedown of an already defeated man?
