Today marks the 219th anniversary of one of the most decisive battles in military history

And without question the greatest victory of Napoleon Bonaparte's career: the Battle of Austerlitz.
Fought on December 2, 1805, near the modern day city of Slavkov u Brna in the Czech Republic, Austerlitz has often been called the "Battle of the Three Emperors" due to the fact that the French emperor (Napoleon), the Austrian emperor (Francis II), and the Russian emperor (Alexander I), were all present at the battle.
A combined Austro-Russian force under the command of Russian Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov was defeated by the Grande Armée of Napoleon after the latter combined deception with perfect timing and superior tactics to defeat his foe in the field. Casualties turned out to be very lopsided with Napoleon's force suffering around 8,852 combined casualties while the Austro-Russian force suffered between 27,000-36,000 combined casualties
This video is an excellent breakdown of the campaign and the battle:

What was decided? Napoleon would lose for the final time 10 years later, get banished to the actual middle of nowhere, die, have his penis cut off and stuck in a little jar.

Epic history does a great job with their YouTube channel. Been subscribed to them for a while and have watched all of their napoleon videos

The dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire — an entity that had existed for 1,000 years; French hegemony over the continent of Europe, the complete collapse of the Third Coalition, and the continued rise of Nationalism that would lead to the formation of Italy and Germany in the coming decades.

Austerlitz was Napoleon’s crowning achievement, but it’s crazy how it set the stage for so many shifts in Europe. A real game-changer.
