Note 76 — Chapter XVI · The Closing Battles of the Peninsular War (1812–14)
Reading edition
Lützen was fought on the 3rd May 1813, and Bautzen on the 20th and 21st May. In both battles the Prussians and Russians, who at the opening of the Leipzig campaign bore all the fighting for the Allies, were defeated. The only result of the armistice was that Austria threw in her lot with Russia, Prussia, and Sweden.—See the author’s “Story of Napoleon,” pp. 296–299.
