Del Prado SNC024 Trooper, 1st Regiment Duchy of Berg Chevaulegers, 1812
Austria's defeat at the Battle of Hohenlinden on 3 December 1800 had created a power vacuum in the area now known as Germany, and Napoleon had lost no time in transforming this neutralized zone into a buffer state between France and her traditional eastern European enemies: Austria, Prussia and Russia. As a final step in the creation of his cordon sanitaire, Napoleon formed a Confederation of the Rhine comprising numerous German kingdoms, duchies and principalities, including the kingdom of Westfalia and the duchy of Kleve-Berg.
