Battle of Austerlitz
Time: Monday Dec 2, 1805
Place: Austerlitz, Moravia, Austrian Empire (Present Day Slavkov u Brna, Czech Republic)
Details: At this critical juncture, both Tsar Alexander I and Holy Roman Emperor Francis II decided to engage Napoleon in battle, despite reservations from some of their subordinates. Napoleon sent his army north in pursuit of the Allies, but then ordered his forces to retreat so that he could feign a grave weakness. At the Battle of Austerlitz, in Moravia on 2 December, he deployed the French army below the Pratzen Heights and deliberately weakened his right flank, enticing the Allies to launch a major assault there in the hopes of rolling up the whole French line.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
