Coalition forces of the Napoleonic Wars

Okay kiddo, let me explain what the coalition forces of the Napoleonic Wars were!

You know how sometimes you see people arguing, and someone tries to get their friends to support them? That's kind of what happened during the Napoleonic Wars.

Napoleon was a powerful leader in France, and he wanted to take over other countries too. But some of those countries didn't want to be taken over! So, they formed a group called a "coalition" to work together and fight against France.

This coalition was made up of countries like Britain, Russia, Austria, and Prussia. They all had their own armies, but they worked together to try and stop Napoleon from taking over more land.

The battles during the Napoleonic Wars were really big and noisy, with lots of soldiers fighting on both sides. The coalition forces would try to come up with a plan to defeat Napoleon's army, and then they would fight to try and make that plan work.

Sometimes the coalition forces won and sometimes Napoleon's army won, but in the end, Napoleon was defeated and the coalition forces were able to stop him from taking over more countries.

So basically, the coalition forces of the Napoleonic Wars were a group of countries that worked together to fight against Napoleon's army and protect their own countries from being taken over.
