The Battle of Austerlitz: Napoleon’s Mastermind

“And now, gentlemen, let us go and do great things” — Napoleon

“Roll up that map of Europe, it will not be wanted these ten years" — William Pitt.

One of the battles that made Napoleon a great name in Europe is the Battle of Austerlitz. It is a fascinating story of strategy and bravery. Below are two short videos that explain the battle — one is from Epic History TV and another from History Hit. A Ridley Scott movie on Napoleon is coming out soon (see its trailer below).
