It says in the top box that Bavaria changed sides after the Battle of Leipzig. However, Bavaria switched sides a few days before with the treaty of Ried on 8th Oct and declared war on France on the 14th Oct, two days before the Battle of Leipzig. Changed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.224.118.123 ( talk) 23:40, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Should the invasion of Russia really be considered part of this war? The coalition was established, I thought, by Prussia's defection from France in January 1813. john k 13:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes but it was a continuous war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Admikkelsen ( talk • contribs) 15:28, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Is "War of Liberation" one of the names of this war? The page War of Liberation says so and so does Britannica 1911, but this article here doesn't mention it. -- Amir E. Aharoni ( talk) 14:25, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
I'd say "War of Liberation" is in more common use. As far as coalitions go, nobody ever seems really sure how to count them - notably, is the 1806-1807 war part of the War of the Third Coalition, or a separate war? My sense about War of Liberation is that it mostly refers to the 1813 war in Germany, and not so much to the campaigns in 1814. But also neither term really covers the invasion of Russia, which certainly did not involve a coalition - I don't think Britain and Russia were reconciled until 1813, so there was certainly no coalition in 1812. john k ( talk) 21:03, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Just a small note: I'm not sure how to do this, but a small part of the War in Germany section with the phrase "east from 30,000 ..." is unreadable, and I have no idea how to fix it. anyone know how to do this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.164.17.216 ( talk) 22:30, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Why should the map include all of the colonies? Looking at it alone one would think that Australians and Peruvians hopped aboard a boat and went off to fight France!
A map showing just the primary countries involved would serve the article far better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.145.251.34 ( talk) 22:21, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I think the infobox stating that the United States was a "co-belligerent" of France is extremely misleading. The American war with 1812 was only indirectly related to the Napoleonic wars, and the Wikipedia article on co-belligerence states that the term means " waging [a] war in cooperation against a common enemy without the formal treaty of military alliance." [sic] If the US is included then the infobox would logically have to include anyone at war with any of the Napoleonic belligerents anywhere between 1812 and 1814. Better to remove it. 209.235.2.8 ( talk) 16:08, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
In the map of Napoleon vs Allies, Iceland is in blue, as in Napoleon's side. Is this a mistake? Nothing in the article mentions Iceland, and it'd be interesting if it had any connection to the Napoleonic Wars at all. 104.172.125.252 ( talk) 05:43, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
"despite having almost lost the war by Western European standards"
What does it mean? Napolean never captured the Russian capital - St. Petersburg. So he was never even close to winning the war. — Preceding

@ user:SJCreecy I have been cleaning up the short citations on this page. However I come across a problem, which it will be easier and quicker for you to solve than for me. You made this edit Revision as of 07:35, 10 May 2020 during a series of edits to the page. You included a citation to support the text "Chandler, Pp. 908-913." Unfortunately there were (and are) two long citations in the references section that could support this short citation:
Please could you add the year of publication to this and the other short citations to Chandler that you include and do not contain a year? -- PBS ( talk) 15:09, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
