Napoleon made a major mistake in invading Russia. The Russians fell back, and anything the French could use was destroyed by the Russians. This retreat and burn puzzled the French, who expected the Russians to come to a formal battle. Then came the Russian winter, which hastened the retreat of the French back towards France. Many died of hunger and the biting cold. Cossacks and other Russian troops harried the retreating French, killing many.
Hitler made the same mistake in invading Russia in the second World War, and suffered the same fate as Napoleon.
