The 14th September 1812, Napoleon and his army entered in Moscow. The city is burned by the governor Rostoptchine (to not give the French army any provisions for winter) The Tsar Alexander refuses any negotiation and Napoleon quit Moscow the 19th October. The November, the temperature drops sharply. Napoleon's Army , plagued by hunger, cold and poor supply lines, was forced to retreat and was nearly annihilated by the devastating Russian winter and sporadic attacks by Russian military forces.
