▲ 15 r/Napoleon
What if Murat's charged worked, and he captured Coalition leadership on the first day of Leipzig?
On the first day of the Battle of Leipzig, Murat led a Cavalry Charge straight at the Coalition's Headquarters. While it failed in history, what if it didn't? What if Murat managed to charge into the Headquarters, and captured Emperors Alexander, Francis, and King Frederick Wilhelm?
Would this have been enough to end the war, and if so, what kind of peace could Napoleon have expected to gain from this action?
