The phrase “Die Hard” was coined in 1811 by an English officer during a battle in the Napoleonic Wars.

Austria was definitively defeated that December, by Moreau's forces in Bavaria. The Austrian defeat was sealed by the Treaty of Lunéville early the following year, further compelling the British to sign the Treaty of Amiens with France, establishing a tenuous peace.

He was wounded but refused to leave the field, telling his outnumbered regiment to “die hard” against the French troops.

It has survived Napoleonic wars, WW1, and bombing by the Nazis in WW2. It still produces 35-55kg of grapes and 100 bottles (250 ML each) of wine are produced each year.

No consensus exists as to when the French Revolutionary Wars ended and the Napoleonic Wars began.

After the Napoleonic Wars, a tobacco merchant named Joseph Williamson paid people in Edge hill, Liverpool to dig miles-long tunnels underground. The tunnels served no purpose, and he did so only to provide employment

During the Napoleonic wars, a French ship wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor, a monkey, was denounced as a spy after an impromptu trial and hanged

Possible dates include 9 November 1799, when Bonaparte seized power on 18 Brumaire, the date according to the Republican Calendar then in use; 18 May 1803, when Britain and France ended the one short period of peace between 1792 and 1814; or 2 December 1804, when Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor.

The War of 1812 is only seen as a war in its own right by Canada and the United States, in Europe it is seen as a theater of the Napoleonic wars.

British historians occasionally refer to the nearly continuous period of warfare from 1792 to 1815 as the Great French War, or as the final phase of the Anglo-French Second Hundred Years' War, spanning the period 1689 to 1815.

Braille was originally developed as ‘Sonography’, a means for French spies in the Napoleonic Wars to communicate without the use of light. Louis Braille would later point out the flaws in the original code, creating the version we use today

Historian Mike Rapport (2013) suggested to use the term "French Wars" to unambiguously describe the entire period from 1792 to 1815.

The Rothschild family decided the outcome of the Napoleonic Wars by putting their financial weight behind Britain.

William Pitt was the youngest Prime Minister in 1783 at the age of 24. He was Prime Minister again from 1804 until his death in 1806. His tenure included the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars

There is an island in the Caribbean, HMS Diamond Rock, which was considered a commissioned ship of the Royal Navy. The ‘vessel’ played an important role during the Napoleonic wars.

In France, the Napoleonic Wars are generally integrated with the French Revolutionary Wars: Les guerres de la Révolution et de l'Empire

The Spanish-Portuguese border is still disputed, with Portugal claiming lands it was forced to cede during the Napoleonic Wars

German historiography may count the War of the Second Coalition (1798/9–1801/2), during which Napoleon seized power, as the Erster Napoleonischer Krieg ("First Napoleonic War")

Spain was allied with France during the Napoleonic Wars until Napoleon decided that the weakness of the Spanish regime meant he could take control of it.

In Dutch historiography, it is common to refer to the seven major wars between 1792 and 1815 as the Coalition Wars (coalitieoorlogen), referring to the first two as the French Revolution Wars (Franse Revolutieoorlogen)

During the Napoleonic Wars, the British lost a fort when a leaky powder keg left a trail of gunpowder leading back into ammo storage.

A lucky French shell hit the trail, and the resulting fire followed it back into the ammo store, blowing it up.

During WW1 the French cuirassiers wore plumed helmets and colorful outfits essentially unchanged from the Napoleonic Wars

There’s a good reason they are known as the Napoleonic Wars
Unsurprisingly, Napoleon Bonaparte was the central, and defining, figure of the Napoleonic Wars. They are typically considered to have commenced in 1803, by which time Napoleon had been First Consul of the French Republic for four years.
