Poland's cooperation with Napoleon I's Imperial Guard Light Cavalry was an important element of the historical military relations between the two countries. The Light Cavalry were an elite cavalry formation in Napoleon's army, and Poles often distinguished themselves in their ranks. Already during the times of the Duchy of Warsaw, when Poland was an ally of France, many Polish officers and soldiers decided to join the Light Cavalry of the Guard. During the Napoleonic campaigns, Poles gained fame for their heroic deeds on European battlefields, which helped to establish the reputation of the Polish cavalry. After the fall of Napoleon and the creation of the Kingdom of Poland under the rule of Tsar Alexander I, some Polish officers and soldiers continued to serve in various cavalry units, both in Polish cavalry regiments and in the French army.
