Excerpt from From Boulogne to Austerlitz: Napoleon's Campaign of 1805 The Peace of Amiens - The invasion of England - German Views on Invasion - The Third Coalition - Villeneuve's Failure - Sea Power and Preparation for War - Patriotic Spirit In sketching the events which led up to the campaign of Austerlitz, in 1805, it is necessary to go back to May 1803, when the Peace of Amiens came to an end. That peace could probably in no case have remained lasting. The continued occupation of Malta and Alexandria by England; the toleration of a scurrilous press, directed against the First Consul, in London; the British naval preparations - all these were calculated to arouse the hostility of Napoleon, while territorial acquisitions by France in Genoa and Piedmont, and the character of the First Consul himself, were not factors which made for the maintenance of peace. The renewal of hostilities with England marked the initiation of Napoleon's project for the invasion of hat country; for this purpose the Grand Army was assembled on the shores of the Channel, and a corps under Bernadotte was stationed in Holland.

Part of the acclaimed "Special Campaign" series of works intended for serious professional students of military history each volume is interspersed with strategical and tactical comments and illustrated by numerous maps. The Ulm Campaign is considered one of the finest examples of a strategic victory. The campaign was won with no major battle. The Austrians fell into the same trap Napoleon had set at the Battle of Marengo, but with greater success. Everything was made to confuse the enemy. In his proclamation in the Bulletin de la Grande Armée of the 21 October 1805 Napoleon said, "Soldiers of the Grande Armée, I announced you a great battle. But thanks to the bad combinations of the enemy, I obtained the same success with no risk ... In 15 days we have won a campaign." By defeating the Austrian army, Napoleon secured his conquest of Vienna, which was to be taken one month later. Like the Battle of Austerlitz, the Ulm Campaign is still taught in military schools worldwide.
