In 1812, areas of Europe that were free from Napoleon's control included the United Kingdom, which remained a strong opponent, as well as parts of the Iberian Peninsula, particularly Portugal, which was not fully under French rule. Additionally, much of Eastern Europe, including territories like Prussia and Austria, had not been completely subjugated, although they had been significantly affected by his military campaigns. The Russian Empire also opposed Napoleon, leading to the pivotal conflict that year during his ill-fated invasion of Russia.
