Comment
FIRST EMPIRE. Napoleon Emperor(18/05/1804-6/04/1814)
Napoleon proclaimed himself King of Italy on March 7, 1805 and appointed Eugène de Beauharnais, his son-in-law, viceroy. Genoa is annexed to France on June 6. Napoleon I, from the Boulogne camp, prepares an invasion of England during the spring and summer of 1805. The formation of the third coalition with Austria, England, Russia, Sweden and Naples on August 9 forced Bonaparte to leave Boulogne quickly; at the head of the Grande Armée, he went to the aid of Bavaria, which had been invaded by the Austrians. The capitulation of Ulm on October 20 opened the gates of Vienna, which was captured on November 14. Meanwhile, the Franco-Spanish squadron was destroyed at Trafalgar by the English fleet commanded by Admiral Nelson, who died during the battle. Napoleon wins the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805, over the Austro-Russians. The Treaty of Presburg delivers Venetia and Dalmatia to Napoleon.
