Own every feat of arms of the War of the Fifth Coalition.
In April 1809 Austria took up arms again against Napoleon. He was then busy in Spain. Vienna hoped for an uprising among the German peoples but it remained limited. The campaign was settled within a few months along the Danube and the Treaty of Schönbrunn in October 1809 forced territorial losses on Austria.

1809
9 July 1809: three days after Wagram, the Austrians were withdrawing in good order towards Bohemia. Napoleon was trying to find out where they were going. At Hollabrunn, Masséna ran into Klenau's rearguard, tasked with delaying the pursuit.
