Explanation:
During the first years of the Napoleonic Wars, Napoleon was succesful in bringing most of Europe under his control. He lead the French army to sounding victories against several enemies in Italy, in Germany, and in Eastern Europe, although he had many difficulties to conquer Spain.
Napoleon's tide changed when he decided to invade Russia. He had some victories at first, but an extremely cold winter, and the vastness of the country obliged him to retreat. During this retreat, he was often ambushed, and lost most of his army due to these ambushes, or due to the harsh winter.

Anyway, its activity was mostly paralized during the Cold War. After the dismantling of the URSS it has been operating and sending peacekeeping military missions all over the world.
The main functions of the Security Council are the following: the establishment of peacekeeping operation and of international sanctions, and the authorization of military interventions.
