Why did Napoleon's empire collapse?
Napoleon's empire collapsed for a number of reasons. Firslty Napoleon made a catastrophic mistake by invading Russia.. he planned 9 weeks for the whole campaign... that included the march into Moscow and defeating the Russian army. Nealry 600,000 men set out on the campaign and only 25,000 returned... Napoleons army was completely wiped out. Secondly, Napoleon's mental state had begun to deteriorate, he was unable to make sound judgements; and all the while his foreign enemies were gaining strength. They had united against Napoleon... following the war of 1812, Russia had joined the blockade that Briatin had set up against France. Britain ultimately controlled all of the sea ports, including the English Channel. This gave them control that no other country in Europe had. Nelson (G. Britain) annihilated Napoleon's Grand Army, and after this, Napoleon's Empire crumbled. The rest of Europe saw this weakness, and joined G. Britain in destroying the Grand Empire. Louis XVIII was then returned to the throne.The downfall of Napoleon's empire was caused by several interlocking factors. First, Napoleon's confidence stretched into over-confidence, which led to the over-stretching of French soldiers and war-making resources. Also connected, Napoleon's harsh rule over conquered territories caused bitter resentment among the people of those territories, which led to loss of production and the increase of rebellion, yet again taxing the resources of the French governing power. Finally, the staunch resistance of Great Britain maintained pressure on France which was significant in its own right.
