Abstract
About the year 1807, it was apparent that Napoleon Bonaparte had succeeded in almost every military expedition. He was now Emperor of France and ruler of Europe. The control of events seemed to be in his hands, but since his intervention in Spain and his participation in the war of 1809, it might have been that he was losing his firm grip. Whether this was visible to him or not, he had a notion to demolish either England or Russia and thus become complete master of the "world." He could ally himself with Russia and subdue England, or he could break with Russia and think of England later. He chose the latter course, and it proved disastrous.
