In 1804 NAPOLEON BONAPARTE crowned himself Emperor of France. The THIRD WAR OF THE COALITION was fought in 1805; the naval battle of TRAFALGAR ended in a decisive British victory over a combined Franco-Spanish fleet; the BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ saw a decisive French victory over a combined Austro-Russian force.


France now undisputedly held the HEGEMONY in continental Europe. In 1805 Napoleon continued with the restructuring of Europe; he transformed the Italian Republic into the KINGDOM OF ITALY (with himself as king), to which VENICE was annexed; LIGURIA was annexed to France, as was PARMA. In 1806 the map of Germany underwent another major restructuring; the CONFEDERATION OF THE RHINE Rheinbund) was founded with Napoleon at the helm. The Batavian Republic was transformed into the KINGDOM OF HOLLAND (Napoleon's brother Louis as king), brother Joseph was made King of NAPLES (i.e. the mainland part of the Kingdom of the two Sicilies, just occupied by French troops).


In 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte established the CONTINENTAL BLOCKADE, intended to significantly harm British exports.


In 1806, Napoleon's troops fought the PRUSSIAN CAMPAIGN (War of the Fourth Coalition); Prussian and Russian troops were defeated in the BATTLE OF JENA AND AUERSTAEDT (Oct. 1806), EYLAU (Feb.1807), FRIEDLAND (June 1807); in the PEACE OF TILSIT Prussia ceded all lands west of the Elbe, which were to form part of the newly created KINGDOM OF WESTPHALIA, brother Jerome being king. Russia turned into a French ally.Prussia also had to cede her gains from the second and third Polish Partition; they were urned into the GRAND DUCHY OF WARSAW - the nucleus of a Polish state.
