The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 1792-1815
"Soldiers! There is not one among you who would wish to return to France by any other way than that of honour", Napoleon Bonaparte urges his soldiers to victory in the twin battles of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806. Revolutionary France has been at war with the major European powers since 1792, intending to spread the ideas of the French Revolution – liberty, equality, fraternity – to the absolutist countries and gain dominance over the entire continent. Aggressive wars of liberation and conquest. Such as in Spain, where partisans fight against the hated French occupying forces in a gruelling guerrilla war. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
