Scorched earth policy.
scorch earth policy
Napoleon Bonaparte financed the invasion of Russia with counterfeit money. After printing it at a factory he set up in Paris, he used it to purchase military supplies.
Russia's military strategies were much the same as that of their contemporary states Austria and Prussia. When Napoleon invaded Russia, in 1812, they used a scorched earth strategy to defeat him.
Napoleon was defeated because he spread his attention to wide. He tried to go after Germany (prussia) and Russia at the same time. His flaw was trying to fight Russia on Russian soil during the winter. The Russians were ahead of them and burned all the supplies as the left. The Russians were used to the cold, the Germans were not. They starved and essentially couldn't continue in the war.
The Battle of Borodino.They used the tactics of scorched earth. And that rusland was very big. They set fire to their capital after napoleon marched in ther. And they used the harsh winter.

He would say that the Peninsular War was the starting place of his eventual defeat. His defeat in the Invasion of Russia must be considered a major defeat in terms of "Body Bag" numbers. The Battle of Leipzig involved the largest numbers of men on a battlefield before World War One. Napoleon lost fifteen generals at Leipzig and had an additional 51 wounded in action. Napoleon never served on Haiti, but the deaths there were staggering and often the numbers never appear because they were slaves.
It was kind of an unwritten policy that the Heads of States used to protect themselves. Call it a mutual protection society.
