The napoleons army was comprised of a dozen nations and a good sized larger. now i don't know what the actually plan was, but what did happen to was a poicy of attack and scorched earth.
napoleons army couldn't sustain itself without a pillage (the towns were evacuated and burned beforehand) and in one notable instance of Moscow.
The army couldn't not face Russia counter offensive at Moscow and they had to retreat thus they were defeated,
The realization that only the divine hand of God could help and comfort them in those awful times.
Think about this, imagine fearing to go out into the streets because you might get attacked. Imagine the only purpose of your existence was to clean, make babies, and respect your husband. That was the life of Woman before the Woman's rights movement. As you can see we have came a long way from then but some people still think that way. Society felt as if Woman weren't as good as men. they thought that Woman couldn't do anything except care for their husband's.
