Battle during the Napoleonic Wars
The Battle of Herceg Novi took place in 1806, during the Napoleonic Wars.[2]
Battle and aftermath
French troops advanced towards Herceg Novi on 30 September. However, reinforced by Russian troops, Montenegro pushed back the French forces and forced them to retreat. On 25 June 1807, the Treaties of Tilsit were signed between Napoleon Bonaparte and Russian Tsar Alexander I, which gave France Herceg Novi and the regions surrounding it. France occupied these regions until 25 October 1813.[2]
