The 1812 Overture does NOT describe Napoleon's invasion of Russia, the defeat of the French army in Moscow, and its retreat. At least, not literally. Instead its description is more of the emotional turmoil of the Russian peasants during the war.

It's about the Battle of Borodino, which was Russia's victory over Napoleon. The piece is NOT about the British-American War of 1812.
