Between June and December 1812, during the ill-fated invasion of Russia, Napoleon's Grande Armée suffered catastrophic losses. Out of an estimated 600,000 troops that entered Russia, only about 100,000 remained by December due to combat, harsh winter conditions, starvation, and desertion. This marked one of the most significant military defeats in history, severely weakening Napoleon's power in Europe.

How did the defeat of Napoleon change the strategic balance in America in 1812?

Defeating Napoleon in 1814 did not have any retroactive effect on the war of 1812. The largest connection that the War of 1812 has with the Napoleonic wars is that it diverted British troops from the wars against Napoleon. This meant that Britain had fewer resources to use against Napoleon and so did not fight at it's fullest potential against Napoleon at that time.
