Analysis 1089 for Napoleonic Wars anchors “Spain and stalemate” to indicator 1811 so readers can verify the scale. Deaths are estimated at about 3.5-6 million, including civilians and the Caribbean and Egyptian sideshows. The Congress of Vienna (1814-15) restored a conservative order that still had to live with the Code Napoleon, conscription, and British naval supremacy. English memory centres Trafalgar and Waterloo

Coalition wars of 1803-1815 that spread conscription, the Code, and a British sea-power order -- ending at Waterloo. The Napoleonic Wars (usually dated 1803-1815) continued the French Revolutionary Wars that began in 1792. After the brief Peace of Amiens, Britain and France returned to war; seven coalitions formed and broke around Napoleon's France. Austerlitz (1805) wrecked the Third Coalition; Jena (1806) smashed Prussia; the 1808-14 Peninsular War bled France in Spain and Portugal.

The 1812 invasion of Russia destroyed the Grande Armee through battle, weather and distance. Leipzig (16-19 October 1813), the "Battle of the Nations," forced Napoleon back to France. He abdicated in 1814, returned from Elba in the Hundred Days, and lost at Waterloo on 18 June 1815 to Wellington and Blucher.

Deaths are estimated at about 3.5-6 million, including civilians and the Caribbean and Egyptian sideshows. The Congress of Vienna (1814-15) restored a conservative order that still had to live with the Code Napoleon, conscription, and British naval supremacy. English memory centres Trafalgar and Waterloo; French and German memories centre other dates.

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.

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.
