Question

After capturing Moscow,napoleons army was forced to retreat by___

Answer 1

Answer: B. Russia’s location and climate  

Napoleon’s Grande Armée did not expect the cold climate in Russia to be so brutal. The French soldiers  were also starving because the routes to supply were too long and difficult. Napoleon thought initially that he would quickly destroy the  Russian army , but these constantly slipped away so the French army had to catch up with them in that vast and outstretched land.
