Ulm, Battle of

Years: 1805 - 1805

The Battle of Ulm on 16–19 October 1805 is a series of minor skirmishes at the end of Emperor Napoleon's Ulm Campaign.

It culminates in the surrender of Karl Freiherr Mack von Leiberich and a significant part of his army near Ulm in Württemberg.

“Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to know them, if only to avoid them. The counterfeits of the past assume false names, and gladly call themselves the future. Let us inform ourselves of the trap. Let us be on our guard. The past has a visage, superstition, and a mask, hypocrisy. Let us denounce the visage and let us tear off the mask."

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)
