(3.63) | Keine | The Archduke Charles was the most formidable of Napoleons continental foes but only once came into direct conflict with him: this was in the 1809 Franco-Austrian campaign in the Danube Valley.Smarting from Austrias humiliations in 1805, the Archduke launched a surprise attack upon the French whilst Napoleon was occupied in distant Spain. Outnumbered, the French faced disaster but, with typical energy and decisiveness Napoleon arrived just in time. In five days of marching and fighting he repulsed the Austrians at Abensburg and Eckmhl. The road to Vienna was now oPen & he pushed on but he underestimated his enemy, being thrown back by the Archduke Charles as he tried to cross the Danube.Failing to follow up his success, the Archduke hesitated too long and when Napoleon attempted to cross the river a second time, at the Battle of Wagram, he succeeded.F. Loraine Petres penetrating analysis of this pivotal campaign was first published in 1909 on the centenary of the great conflict, to become one of his celebrated series of works on Napoleons wars.… (mehr) |

With the signature of the Treaty of Tilsit and the secret clauses attached to it, Napoleon seemed to be, at last, the arbiter of the destinies of all Europe, from the Pyrenees to the Nieman, and from the Baltic to Sicily.  | |

It seems remarkable that, with the incompleteness of his success, Napoleon should have in the end been able to dictate such terms as those of the Treaty of Schönbrünn. Francis and his friends of the war party would have renewed operations had they dared, but they had thrown away, by the dismissal of the Archduke Charles, their best, perhaps their only general, and probably they felt that a renewal of the struggle could but end in fresh and more decisive defeat, with the inevitable consequence of the obliteration of Austria from the map of Europe, and of the House of Habsburg from the list of reigning families.
