The battle of Leipsic was the bloodiest ever fought. It took place Oct 16m. lush and 19th. 1813, between the French and Auntrhns. Prussians and Russians. The French were 160,300 strong. the allies 40,000. More than 80.000 men perished. and the French were defeated. Such losses throw into the chads the losses in. the American Civil War. At Gettysburg, 39,000 were killed and wounded: at Chicnmaunga 28.000. In the battle of the \Vilderness 6.768 men were killed, and at Spottsylvania 6.296.
