Napoleon lost and got defeated because at that time, winter was setting in on Russia. Although Napoleon should had retreated, he was stubborned and wanted to remained there. The Russian then use the policy of destroying all the foods and crops supply so Napoleon and his army will starved. He lost lots of soldiers at that time and was finally forced to retreat.

Napoleon's army was lured further and further into Russia which was a cold landscape they were not accustomed to. On the way there, they ran out of supplies. On the way back, they lost many men to starvation, freezing to death and the Cossacks. Their army was greatly reduced and could easily be taken down.

It resulted in the destruction of the Grand Army.

Stated succinctly Russia ate his lunch.

It reduced the French and allied invasion forces to a tiny fraction of their initial strength and triggered a major shift in European politics as it dramatically weakened French hegemony in Europe.

Napoleon invaded Russia to conquer more land. He succeeded in capturing Moscow but this stretched his supply lines too long. When winter came, they were stranded without any supplies. They were not prepared to the terrible winters of the interior of Russia. The French army had to retreat to survive but they suffered under attacks and the cold and most of the army perished.


Many attribute the defeat of Napoleon's army to the cold winter. However, the summer played an important factor, too. When Napoleon departed on his invasion, the summer had strained the crops and the horses didn't have mature grain for their feed. The French Army lost many of its horses after only a few weeks of the campaign.
