Question

What are 2 reasons ancient people didn’t wage war in the winter

Answer 1

Hitler tried it and failed horribly, Napoleon tried before that and found equally terrible results, and the Swedes who fought in the Great Northern War would tell a similar story.

Supply lines running thin in the freezing cold and enveloping mud spells doom for anyone attacking into a Russian winter — or does it?

For some reason, history tends to overlook the many times Russia has lost in the cold, despite their home-turf advantage.
