Napoleon 1813: Battle of the Nations

[dexter]

In October 1813 Napoleon faced the combined might of the Sixth Coalition (Russia, Austria, Prussia, Sweden) near Leipzig, in what would prove to be the decisive battle of his career. Outnumbered, virtually encircled, Napoleon opted for a high-risk strategy of striking against Scwarzenberg's Army of Bohemia, before the other Coalition armies could come to his aid. The four-day Battle of Leipzig would be the largest and bloodiest battle in European history before the First World War, and one that changed the destiny of Europe.

...and one that changed the destiny of Europe.

I would rather say this battle was one of the main stages in the restoring of pre-Napoleon, normal destiny of Europe.
