History Repeating
European history fans in French military costumes and carrying antique weapons reenact the battle of Austerlitz near the village of Tvarozna, 200km east of Prague, on Saturday. The Dec. 2, 1805, battle of Austerlitz is also known as the Battle of Three Emperors, because the rulers of France, Russia and Austria -- Napoleon Bonaparte, Czar Alexander and Francois I -- took part themselves. Some 600 history enthusiasts from all over Europe gathered near the south Moravian town of Austerlitz to commemorate the 198th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte's greatest victory.
