The Napoleonic Wars consisted of a series of wars fought during Napoleon Bonaparte's rule over France. To some extent they formed an extension of the conflicts sparked by the French Revolution and continued during the régime of the Second French Empire. These wars revolutionized the European army and artillery, as well as military systems, and took place on a scale never before seen, mainly due to the application of modern mass conscription. French power rose quickly, conquering most of Europe; the fall was also rapid, beginning with the disastrous invasion of Russia, and Napoleon's empire ultimately suffered complete military defeat, resulting in the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France.
No consensus exists as to when the French Revolutionary Wars ended and when the Napoleonic Wars began; one possible watershed date occurred when Bonaparte seized power in France, in November 1799. Other versions put the period of warfare between 1799 and 1802 in the context of the French Revolutionary Wars, and set the Napoleonic Wars' beginning at the outbreak of war between the United Kingdom and France in 1803, following the brief peace concluded at Amiens in 1802. The Napoleonic Wars ended on 20 November 1815, following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo and the Second Treaty of Paris. Collectively, the nearly continuous period of warfare from April 20, 1792, until November 20, 1815, is sometimes (though rarely these days) referred to as the Great French War.

Finished His Majesty's Dragons! Really enjoyed it - but stick dragons into the Napoleonic Wars and that's pretty much a forgone conclusion.
