Napoleon in Russia the turning point - Universal History
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
In 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia with the largest army Europe had ever seen, composed of troops from France, Poland, Germany, Italy, and several other allied states. The ensuing campaign saw the Russians use scorched-earth tactics to deny the enemy supplies, while Napoleon advanced deeper and deeper into Russia, seeking in vain the decisive blow that would force Emperor Alexander to negotiate peace.
