Question

Napoleaons desicion to invade russia was,perhaps his greatest mistake,which of the following statements is NOT true about the invasion of Russia?
A:Napoleon's army suffered great losses due to russia's harsh winter
B:Napoleon decided to invade Russia because it was leaving the Continental System
C:Napoleon was defeated by the Russians at the battle of Waterloo
D:Napoleon marched his army all the way to Moscow

Answer 1

The answer is C. Napoleon was defeated by the Russians at the battle of Waterloo

This is false because although the Russians did win the battle of Waterloo this was not the full end of Napoleon. The Seventh Coalition was the one who put an end to Napoleon and Russian was not part of this coalition. So he was technically defeated by the British and Prussians.

Hope this helped. Have a great night!
