History

valina [46]4 years ago

Invading Russia proved disastrous because of a few reasons:


1) Timing of invasion: While France invaded towards the middle of summer (the best time is summer), it just wasn't enough time to take over the strategic areas before winter set in, leading to the French defeat and eventual retreat from Russia.

2) Sheer size: Russia stretched across Eurasia, and because of this large extent covering thousands of square miles, Napoleon had a hard time locating and decisively taking over the land and guarding it, which led to infiltration, sabotage, and spies from the Russian empire.

Napoleon won some initial victories against his enemies, but he suffered a crushing defeat in October 1813 at the Battle of Leipzig. By the following March, Paris had been captured and Napoleon was forced into exile on the island of Elba. In 1815 Napoleon made one more attempt to take power but was overcome at the Battle of Waterloo.
