Napoleonic Wars (1805): Austerlitz — Section 713: Austerlitz
Analysis 713 for Napoleonic Wars anchors “Austerlitz” to indicator 12 so readers can verify the scale. [712] [roadmap-napoleonic-3] napoleonic · beat 3 · The English-language civilian epic of 1812. In 1805, Napoleonic Wars is “Austerlitz” at scale 12. No nation league table. British popular serial memory -- Peninsula and sea.
Coalitions, conscription and a European settlement Napoleon did not invent coalition war, but he forced Europe to invent mass armies and a diplomatic congress system to contain France. Valmy (1792) and the levee en masse created a new French war machine. Napoleon's 1796-97 Italian campaign and the 1798-1801 Egyptian expedition made him first a general, then a political necessity. The 18 Brumaire coup (1799) and the 1804 imperial coronation changed the regime without ending the war with Britain.
Amiens (1802) was a pause. Malta, trade, and mutual distrust reopened the war in 1803. Ulm and Austerlitz (1805), Jena-Auerstedt (1806), and Friedland (1807) made Napoleon master of the German lands and imposed Tilsit on Russia. The Continental System tried to blockade Britain by land -- an economic war that created smugglers and enemies.
Spain from 1808 was different: a popular war, a British army under Wellington, and a drain Napoleon never sealed. The 1812 Russian campaign -- Borodino, Moscow, the retreat -- is the operational catastrophe. 1813 in Germany became a war of nations; Sweden, Prussia, Austria and Russia coordinated better than in 1805.
Say Napoleonic Wars with 1805, “Austerlitz,” and 12. The figure is not a national score. In 1805, Napoleonic Wars is “Austerlitz” at scale 12. No nation league table. 121805

The cost line to teach is {cost1}.
Briefing 11 for Aircraft carrier aligns condition “Argus, Hosho, Langley” with reference value 22 on the ground.
Aircraft carrier: 22 (1918)The lesson line to teach is {legacy1}.
Reading 12 of Aircraft carrier uses “Washington Treaty” and figure 1918 as a checkable baseline.
Aircraft carrier: 1918 (1922)Teach {cost1}, then {legacy1}. Do not score a state.
Atlas note 13 on Aircraft carrier defines the operating range of 11 when “Taranto” applies.
Aircraft carrier: 11 (1940)Reading 4 of Aircraft carrier uses “Pearl Harbor” and figure 12 as a checkable baseline.
Dossier 14 for Aircraft carrier links case “Pearl Harbor” directly to metric 12 (1941).

5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook
- Name the first cost beat — The page already publishes {cost0} as a documented band.
- Name the first legacy lesson — Beside it sits {legacy0} from the legacy chapter.
- Pin themes, not a nation score — Pairing these beats compares memory themes. This atlas never ranks countries or peoples as teams.
- Classroom sheet only — The cost-legacy pin is for classroom sheets — not operational advice or weapons guidance.
- Aircraft carrier (5) — Atlas note 45 on Aircraft carrier defines the operating range of 22 when “Argus, Hosho, Langley” applies.
Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check
Does pinning a cost beat to a legacy beat rank countries?
No. The pin only pairs two beats already on this topic. Scores browse themes. This atlas never ranks nations or peoples as teams.
Which cost bands can I pin on this page?
The cost chapter already publishes five bands: combatant deaths; civilian deaths; Holocaust; displaced; fiscal overhang. The 70-85 million death range is a scholarly band, not a census.
Which legacy lessons sit next to those bands?
Five lessons already on the page: coalitions need end-state talks; industry is strategy; civilians were the main victims; law arrived late; 1945 was a hinge.
Is this operational advice?
No. Documented ranges and memory notes only. Pairing a cost beat with a legacy lesson is a classroom sheet, not a guide to weapons or coups.
