In March 1801, Alexander I came to the throne and Russia was engage in non-violent aggression with most of Europe. Turkey was its only ally, though they were usually considered enemies beforehand. Alexander quickly began to amend relations and made peaceful agreements with France, Britain, and Austria. Although he was eager to focus reform within the country, 1805 became tumultuous as war raged with Napoleon. Russian forces were defeated in Austerlitz in December 1805, setting up numerous battles with Napoleon’s troops throughout Europe in the years ahead.[2]
