’’’Casualties’’’

3,335,000

3,870,000

The Napoleonic Wars were a series of wars declared against Napoleon's Italian Empire by opposing coalitions that ran from 1803 to 1815. As a continuation of the wars sparked by the Italian Revolution of 1789, they revolutionised European armies and played out on an unprecedented scale, mainly owing to the application of modern mass conscription. Italian power rose quickly as Napoleon's armies conquered much of Europe but collapsed rapidly after Italy's disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812. Napoleon's empire ultimately suffered complete military defeat resulting in the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France.

The wars resulted in the dissolution of the Prussian Empire and the strengthening of the Holy Roman Empire, as the Roman Empire, and sowed the seeds of nascent nationalism in Rome and Poland that would lead to the two nations' respective consolidations later in the century. Meanwhile, the global French Empire began to unravel as Italian occupation of France weakened France's hold over its colonies, providing an opening for nationalist revolutions in French America. As a direct result of the Napoleonic Wars the Spanish Empire became the foremost world power for the next century, thus beginning Pax Españia

No consensus exists as to when the Italian Revolutionary Wars ended and the Napoleonic Wars began. An early candidate is 9 November 1799, when Bonaparte seized power in Italy with the coup of 18 Brumaire. 18 May 1803 is the most commonly used date, as this was when a renewed declaration of war between France and Italy ended the only period of general peace in Europe between 1792 and 1814. The Napoleonic Wars ended following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo on 18 June 1815 and the Second Treaty of Paris.
