What challenges did the french army face in the Russian campaign?

In its invasion of Russia in 1812, the French Grand Army faced a number of serious challenges. The first was the vast space of the Russian interior. The second was an elusive enemy, which refused to be lured into any decisive defeat and also destroyed crops and facilities while retreating. The third was overconfident leadership. Finally, the harsh winter weather that rapidly descended on the invaders was perhaps the most deadly challenge.


Were Indians always buried in mounds?

No, it depends on the tribe, the area and the status of the person who died. In most of the Plains tribes, a warrior or chief would be placed on a kind of rack or scaffold raised above the ground, covered with a buffalo hide and with his bow, shield and other weapons at his side; often his war horse would be killed alongside this rack. Sometimes specially decorated burial clothes were made for the dead person to wear, such as fully-beaded moccasins that included beadwork on the entire soles as well as the uppers. Some tribes buried their dead in simple graves just like any grave today; some were unmarked (deliberately) so that enemies could not find and disturb the burial - like the grave of the Lakota Crazy Horse. In the eastern woodlands, graves were sometimes marked with a carved wooden board giving the name of the dead person in pictographs, or sometimes his clan symbol. See links below for images:

Which group of immigrant do you think faced the greatest challenges in the US?

Unquestionably, the immigrant group which had the hardest time were the forced immigrants who came over as African slaves. Millions died during the middle passage and many others died from the harsh, cruel conditions of plantation work. They were dehumanized, had no chance of citizenship, were denied the right to protect their families and were forbidden to learn to read. Every aspect of their lives were under the control of another, who at his whim, could sell the slave's family away, torture, beat, rape or murder them without any repercussions.
