The battle of Borodino occured September 7th, 1812 near the Russian village of Borodino between the armies of Imperial France and Russia. The battle was part of the French invasion of Russia and was the only real confrontation between the Armies on that campaign. The opposing commanders were the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Russian General Mikhail Kutuzov. After heavy casualties on both sides (Approx. 75,000 total casualties) the Russians withdrew the battlefield leaving the French in control.

Known as the Bataille de la Moskowa (Battle of the Moskva River) by the French.
