Scorched earth policy.

This question is not accurate. There was no battle that was known as scorched earth. Rather scorched earth was a method of fighting and is sometimes referred to as "the scorched earth policy". An army that applied the scorched earth policy would destroy all resources as they retreated. This would prevent the approaching enemy from having any food or shelter or supplies to supplement their army. This policy was used by the Russians against Napleon in 1814 and again by the Russians against the Germans in 1941.

The scorched earth policy basically states that a retreating military army should destroy any food or supplies that would be useful to the opposing side when retreating. The scorched earth policy not affects armies but civilians as well.

I think it is called the scorched earth policy because the enemy's homes and farms gets burned down so everything is on fire and it looks like the earth is burning
burning and destroying everything the enemy could use..................
