Answer 2

He cites the Peninsular War as the start of all his troubles.

He went to Russia without a weather report.

He should have stayed on Elba, the weather there is superior to the South Atlantic.

Answer 3

Invading Russia in the first place. It is quite simply far, far too vast. Napoleon had a massive army, more or less than half a million men, and he returns across the Berezina with less than a Corps. The fact that his army was ill equipped for the Russian winter speaks volumes....

Answer 4

Napoleon's first mistake was trying to blockade trade between continental Europe and England. His second mistake was the Peninsular War 1808-1814 CE. He controlled Spain but not Portugal, during the battles he lost approximately 300,000 men. His third mistake was his invasion of Russia in 1812. Napoleon lost nearly half a million soldiers because they starved to death during Russia's winter.

Answer 5

His invasion of Russia in 1812. He went into Russia expecting to win quickly, but then when he didn't he ended up being stuck in the country, completely unprepared for winter. Also, as the Russian army retreated they burned everything so that Napoleon's army was not able to gain anything useful. As he tried to retreat out of Russia his army was frozen, starved, or picked off by Russian guerrillas. His losses were tremendous.
