Napoleon and The Battle of Friedland

The Battle of Friedland was fought on June 14, 1807, between the French army under Napoleon Bonaparte and the Russian army commanded by General Levin August von Bennigsen. The battle took place near the town of Friedland in eastern Prussia, and it was a decisive victory for Napoleon's forces.
Napoleon's tactics at Friedland were masterful. He used his cavalry to draw the Russians out into the open, where they were vulnerable to attack from his artillery. The French then launched a full-scale assault, overwhelming the Russian lines and forcing them to retreat. The defeat of the Russian forces at Friedland marked a significant turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, and ultimately led to the Treaty of Tilsit, which established a period of peace between France and Russia.
The battle marked the end of the Fourth Coalition against France, and it solidified Napoleon's position as one of the greatest military commanders in history.
