An interactive map showing the seven coalitions of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars
As the French sought to export revolution and then, under Napoleon, establish an Empire across Europe, their enemies combined in a series of coalitions to halt the spread of French power. These maps illustrate how the boundaries of France, and the territory it controlled through conquest or alliance, fluctuated through the seven coalitions of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815).
The map was developed for Waterloo200 by Portsmouth University students Aabid Kanji, Amal Mohammed, Angelo Rossi and Katherine Matthews.
