Answer 4

Napoleon invaded Russia to conquer more land. He succeeded in capturing Moscow but this stretched his supply lines too long. When winter came, they were stranded without any supplies. They were not prepared to the terrible winters of the interior of Russia. The French army had to retreat to survive but they suffered under attacks and the cold and most of the army perished.


Many attribute the defeat of Napoleon's army to the cold winter. However, the summer played an important factor, too. When Napoleon departed on his invasion, the summer had strained the crops and the horses didn't have mature grain for their feed. The French Army lost many of its horses after only a few weeks of the campaign.
