The Breakdown of Napoleon’s Russian Battle
Napoleon Bonaparte was outwardly unconquerable. Beneath his control, the Grande Army had dominated a large portion of Europe, and was viewed by others as a strict rival. Despite the fact off all this, Napoleon completed a deadly error: he entered Russia. Of the 600,000 troops that reached the Russian boundary, only 100,000 made it out (Moore, Online). Through the Russian movement the outwardly stubborn man of Napoleon started to fall apart at the foundation, and after many serious errors, the foundation was destroyed.

This pathway, of course, had nearly no recourses left, all of which had been previously damaged through the scorched-earth strategy. The exhausted soldiers left Moscow, but they were by now frail and unwholesome before they even departed (Burnham, Online).

Napoleon was assumed that rivers, mud holes, and streams would be ice-covered, making course easier, as a result letting the army take faster routes to keep away from the bridges. Following weeks of walking in the cold, uninhabited wastes, the weather conditions begun to warm
