The Russians let "General Winter" defeat him. Yes, their 2 great generals January & February ! Added to this was the predation of the cossack cavalry and ambush. The French Army was in no way able to survive the winter in Russia.

What war tactic did Russia use to ultimately defeat Napoleon and begin his downfall?

Russia employed a scorched earth strategy during the Napoleonic Wars, retreating and destroying resources as they went, depriving Napoleon's army of supplies and shelter. This tactic, combined with the harsh Russian winter, severely weakened the French forces. Additionally, the vastness of Russian territory stretched Napoleon's supply lines thin, contributing to his eventual defeat. The combination of these factors led to a disastrous retreat for Napoleon in 1812, marking a significant turning point in his downfall.


How have physical features affected life in Europe and Russia?

Well, when Napoleon of France invaded Russia to take over Russia, the Russians used their own geographic features to defeat the French. The Russians never even had to go into battle. You see, the weather in Russia was so fierce, that many of the French soldiers died due to the harsh weather. Also, as the Russians traveled through towns, they burned them down so the French had no food or resources to survive. Russia's weather was the Russians' very own war tactic without ever going into battle -SLH
