How does the "third coalition" get to be "the first of five coalitions".

Should that line read "the third of five coalitions" ???????

[edit] Major "rewrite"

I'm planning to expand this article in the following few days with some original material, but mostly with material from other articles. Any help is appreciated.UberCryxic 02:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Good plan. Gomm 03:13, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I've completed the Ulm/Austerlitz sections. Anyone interested in write one for Trafalgar?UberCryxic 23:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] decisive victory??

I have to question this call:

The empire and allies lost their navy
Most of the coalition was untouched and formed a 4th coalition

Victory? Yes. Decisive? I don't think so. -Gomm 03:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

In any case we don't usually write that a war is a decisive victory for side x, we only use that for battles. For example World War II has Allied vicotry as result, not decisive allied victory. Carl Logan 09:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you guys. I wanted to revert it myself, but I just didn't have the chance until now, when I discovered that it had already been changed.UberCryxic 20:36, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Question: I looked at the map given about the battle of Austerlitz and the number of troop given on the map is different from the one given in text... which one is right?
