Austerlitz 1805!

I. The Beginning!

 

In December, Eighteen O ' Four,

Napoleon became the French Emperor.

Entire Europe lay shaken to its core

as their Monarchs witnessed a rising Conqueror.

 

The Historic Enemies of the French

were astonished and filled with envy.

Ambition! Thou hath his enemies drench

in the victorious delusions so heavy.

 

Britain was the Queen of the Oceans,

France was the King of the Land.

Now, it would be a game of Notions

to determine who would successfully withstand.

 

The Tempest of rivalries did brew,

with each side adding fuel to the fire.

As the excitement in the leaders grew,

the lust for power was driven by desire.

 

Kingdoms of Sweden, Austria and Russia

united their forces to defeat Bonaparte.

No involvement was shown by Prussia,

yet they supported the conflict in part.

 

But, the three Emperors were young

and inexperienced in the art of War.

Meanwhile, Napoleon had already wrung

the dominations enemy empires longed for.

 

II. The Initial Moves!

 

The Austrian Empire hath deep grievances

with the astonishing French conquest

that hath diminished its influences

in Italy and Germany in a situation gravest.

 

The Enemies formed "The Third Coalition"

as they devised the most ambitious plan ever.

The Austro-Russian Army made a formation

to invade France via the Rhine River.

 

Misfortune struck on the Enemies' side

when Napoleon got hints of the invasion.

Making it a battle of the French Pride,

he reacted with typical speed and precision.

 

The French "La Grande Armee"

hath to restrict the premature gains

of the Austrians to the status same

without much effort and pains.

 

The Armies of Austria's Gen. Mack

were isolated in the Bavarian state.

Now, they were in a state of slack,

hopelessly waiting for their worst fate.

 

Soon, the Enemies recognise

that they're in disadvantageous situations

Napoleon smelled the astounding prize

as he reacted with immediate actions.

 

Napoleon summoned Admiral Murat

for initial feint attacks through the Black Forest.

Formation of a man of twenty-four karat,

through this battle, fought in a way finest.

 

III. The War....

 

The French Armies surrounded

the ill-fated Austrian Army.

The Triumph left enemies astounded

and in a zugzwang too stormy.

 

Within a few weeks,

the Capital of the Austrians fell'd.

 As the French Armies achieved new peaks,

Napoleon rode on a success unparalleled.

 

The Might of the Monarchs European

laid shatter'd in front of Bonaparte.

Their repute was downtrodden to pygmean 

with every decision taken on their part.

 

By now, the armies of both sides

were totally frustrated and tired.

It is the man in whom composure abides

that prevents from making decisions misfired 

 

The Russian Czar was in a haste,

avoiding the advice of his General.

Soon, he would get to taste

the outcomes of his decision, so ephemeral

 

Now, Napoleon decided to fight

the Enemies at a select location.

Austerlitz was the status of might

that every side would fight with determination. 

 

IV. In the Battlefield... 

 

Day of frosty and aloof wind

began blowing on the battlefields.

The likes of all were to be grind

as all sharpened their swords and shields. 

 

Dust and dirt in the field were dreary 

as both the Armies stood in front.

All of a sudden, a horse so weary

came out to predict the enemy and hunt.

 

Frail, exhausted yet, a fully determined

Napoleon came out to introspect the enemy.

Ninety Thousand men of all Enemies combined

deployed to destroy a dangerous alchemy.

 

The enemy forces weakened

their centre to attack the French South Flank.

As the adrenaline in all moistened,

the novels of time lay completely blank. 

 

"Stupid Fools! Never never weaken

your centre," as Napoleon call

one of his brave Generals to weaken 

the Enemy Forces with a weak defence wall.

 

V. Aftermath…

 

"One sharp blow and the war is over."

as the French Army wreaked and attacked.

The weak Enemy forces were mauled over,

having no time as they got smacked.

 

The battle became totally lopsided 

as Enemies began losing troops. at a rapid rate

Thousands of loyal soldiers lay divided

by Nationalities but united by fate.

 

After a lethal battle and tough fight,

Fifteen Thousand corpses in the field laid.

As "The Little Corporal" walked with his might,

his feet trampled thousands of the dead.

 

As Napoleon's hands were reeking

in the blood of the loyal and disloyal soldiers

Twas the power of victory-seeking

to shrug off the cost from thy shoulders.

 

Austerlitz was the beginning of the end

of various Dynastic successions.

Now, it was Napoleon who would bend

the course of Europe and its directions.
