What generalization can you make about Napoleon's influence on Europe in 1812?

One generalization about Napoleon's influence on Europe in 1812 is that it was waning. The disastrous Russian campaign of that year greatly weakened his forces and diminished his reputation as a military genius. This led to a loss of confidence among his allies and emboldened his enemies, ultimately setting the stage for his downfall.

Why was it a mistake for Napoleon to stay in in Moscow until mid October?

Alot of his men froze to death.After Napoleon seized Moscow, the Russian were able to cheat him by a false friendly attitude of their troops deployed on the front.This attitude induced Napoleon even to send on Oct. 5,1812 a delegation led by General Lauriston to Saint Petersburg in order to negotiate an armistice as a preliminary for negotiating a peace of compromise.The delegation never reach the Russian Capital because they were stopped by Kutuzov at his Headquarter. The documents containing Napoleon's proposals were sent by Russians couriers to the Czar, who rejected Napoleon's proposals .Napoleon was so convinced that the victory of Borodino and the seize of Moscow, the Russian religious Capital, were so decisive to convince the Czar to accept the terms, that he sent a second delegation on Oct. 14,1812, with the same result.It was a fatal mistake because the only purpose of the Russian behavior was to make him staying behind and around the city as long as possible, until the French Army would have been bogged down by the Autumnal rainfalls and mud. But Napoleon didn't properly assessed the situation, giving the priority to and delayed too much the retreat, giving the priority to political reasons, which turned out to be illusory, with disastrous consequences for himself and his army.
