Napoleon's Invasion of Russia

Napoleon's Invasion of Russia

There are many lessons we are supposed to know in life: pick up after yourself, never bet against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and most importantly, don’t invade Russia in the winter. Known as one of the greatest military disasters in history, Napoleon’s invasion of Russia is often cited as a key factor in the emperor's eventual defeat. Although the campaign actually started in June, the brutal impact of General Winter led to the devastation of the French army and ultimately contributed to the downfall of one of the greatest generals in history.
