In 1812 Russia faced Napoleon's attack
on his former enemies the largest army
in Europe but for the
French emperor the decisive defeat remained
disappointing
Russia's persistence was unlike anything he
had ever encountered
Winter arrived His army began the most famous retreat in history
In 1807 Napoleon
went to Erfurt to
meet the Russian Emperor Alexander
In their celebratory
meeting the two emperors
established a friendship
and an alliance but this
could not last During these five years the
relationship between Russia
and France gradually cooled
Russia was established by Napoleon as
an emperor
state in Poland They viewed it as a struggle
on their own front They suspected it would
lead to France becoming a national power again
The traditional country next to Russia
Then Napoleon proposed
marriage to Alexander 's
sister Napoleon's
wife Anna Pavlovna
But the Russians disliked this idea
In the Russian persecution a year later
Napoleon married Marie Louise
the daughter of Emperor
Alexander later that year
Napoleon destroyed the
guarantee of the
dynasty and the
great woman of Autun Autun
was ruled by Napoleon's sister
The worst part is
Napoleon's ineffective
economic blockade
against Britain was
designed to destroy his
most determined enemy
and Napoleon promised
to join the continental economic system
But in Russia this
issue is very unpopular
During the economic crisis when Napoleon
discovered that Russia was
controlling the rules of the economic system
and engaging in illegal
trade with Britain he was
very angry Two emperors
Accusations of
distrust between the two
countries began preparations for war
Napoleon knew the
Russian campaign was a
huge operation especially
since he still had an
unfinished war in the Spanish War
involving over two
million troops however
He began organizing
the largest army
in Europe in 1811
He had seen about
six million people
although less than
half were French
the rest were others
Federal states from Europe
due to the
imperial emperor
the imperial emperor led by
The main force was deployed under Napoleon himself while the other was led by his grandson from a previous life Eugene
The other was led by his young brother Jérôme and was the king of
the West African Empire Both men were not experienced commanders
Although one person may reveal themselves in sports another may not
To their left Marshal Macdonald led the 10th Corps which had a large
Russian army while to their right was General Schwarzenberg's Austrian Corps
There are another 100 000 troops in reserve including Marshal Victor's 9th Corps
Initially only 220 000 Russians were able to oppose this massive Russian army
The 1st Army under General Barclay de
Tolly the 2nd Army under Prince
Bagration and the 3rd Army under General Tormasov will each be divided into two groups
But at the beginning of the war Russia achieved two significant military victories
Three years before the Soviet war
This war turned the Soviet Union into France
With a remarkable transformation the Soviet Union is now managed by Napoleon's former commander Bernadotte
But when Napoleon quietly occupied Soviet Pomerania
Bernadotte angrily guaranteed that the Soviet Union would remain neutral
At the same time the six-year war of Russia ended the peace treaty of the Omnitron Empire
These two treaties protected Russia's flanks from any strategic
threat and freed the army to resist Napoleon's offensive
On June 24 1812 Russian troops began
crossing the Neman River into Russian territory
The army was so large it took five days to pass
Napoleon's plan was to attack in the northern part of the unyielding
Pripyat forest defeat Barclay's army
and have Jerome trap Bagration there
Then the French army would turn south to harass Bagration
Napoleon expected this war to end within five weeks
But the huge size of the French army made Barclay doubt that
withdrawal was his only option The
northern part of the Prypiat forest
He has always been a more radical commander and hardline
critics of Barclay often found themselves forced to agree
When they withdrew they burned
the village and the
fields This was a strategy of hell to deny supplies to the enemy
Within four days Napoleon had reached Vilnius but Barclay
had fled In the south Jérôme
had failed to defeat Bagration
Therefore when Davout's first warship flew south it troubled him and he
had already left the safety zone
Napoleon's younger brother lost his depth
He was criticized by the emperor
when his army was ordered
by Davout's command he lost power
and returned west in failure
This movement has already begun to reveal serious flaws in Napoleon's plan He knew his army would
have to live in this poor region and he had organized
huge supply boxes and transportation systems
To supply the army
But the tire slowly turned onto the bad roads of Russia
Russian troops had to stop frequently to allow supply boxes
to rise Napoleon's plan to
capture the Russians was bad news
But thousands of young people in his army were not used
to daily strenuous exercise
Many were almost out of breath
Everyone else left
The command structure of the army also faced major problems
Napoleon commanded a huge multinational army
It was three times larger than any army Napoleon had ever controlled
His once renowned army of speed
had become a mad beast
After resting and reorganizing in
Vilnius Napoleon continued his advance
Barclay continued to Vitebsk where he hoped
that Bagration's Second Army would join him
But Davout blocked Bagration's path at Soltanovka
forcing Bagration to set up defenses at Smolensk
In Vitebsk Napoleon confronted Barclay's
rear guard but once again the Russians escaped
At all the stores where they couldn't fire together with them
Meanwhile 300 kilometers away to the south of Napoleon the
Russian Third Army attacked and defeated the Saxon Seventh Army
Force Napoleon to withdraw the Russian
troops of the Seventh Saxon Army with their help
By the end of July Napoleon had advanced 250 kilometers far
exceeding the distance he had
expected The long summer heat continued
He continued to inflict heavy losses on his soldiers
There was no battle the army
had already suffered 20% losses due to
fatigue and illness
especially typhoid
and cancer The army entered Russia
There are a quarter of a million horses but now they are
dying at a rate of one thousand per day due
to exhaustion and lack of manure
Not only did the army's horses die but the death rate of
the horses in the supply wagons
led to even worse conditions
This horse crisis like the light
French horses saw Napoleon 's
eyes and ears meet their match
among the Russian Cossacks
Cossacks confident proud
innocent and excellent
horses unlike other European
horses are not disobedient
Every day they moved in the shadow of
Napoleon's army whenever they saw an
easy target they disappeared into the
forest if attacked by a powerful force
Cossacks and Russian
partisans attack
the French supply lines and depots
Forcing Napoleon to disrupt thousands of their troops
Accompanied by ordinary light horses from
Russia they also prevented the French army
from escaping the conflict which meant that Napoleon often lacked good information
About the location of the road or the enemy
Napoleon stayed in Vitebsk for 16 days
Rest his troops and
consider his options
Many things he was worried
about including the safety
of his long-exposed
flag But in Vitebsk he
received a message saying that in Gorodezhny
He defeated the Russians
One week later in Polatsk a French-Palestinian
army defeated the Russian
First Army of Vichkenstein
It had become an unwinnable war
Napoleon's flag was safe
so far
Although his main force was reduced
by at least half its original
strength Napoleon decided to go to
Smolensk and try to
force the Russians
Fight with determination against the city
Berkeley was indeed oppressed to give battle from
the Republican
commander Prince Bagration and from
the Emperor Alexander in St Petersburg
They told him that the spirit and honor of the Russian
army are essential
The first and second Russian
armies finally made contact
near Smolensk Berkeley decided to attack Napoleon's army
He thought they were concentrated near Rudnya The war was
led by Polatov's Cossacks
surprising a French army in Inkovo
But Uzhen's fourth
army surprised
him in the north
so Berkeley canceled the attack Napoleon
confident in Berkeley's offensive
There was no real threat
began a huge movement
southward canceled Smolensk
and cut off Russia's retreat
The so-called
Smolensk campaign was
Napoleon's favorite using Murat 's
soldiers to check his movements
and keep Berkeley in the dark
The emperor built four bridges
quickly on the
night of August 13
and by the next
morning his army
was already there Marshal Davou
Led another army
on the banks of a
river in Russia
But an independent
Russian army the 27th withdrew after a brave battle for Krasny
Delayed France's advance
and during the purchase time
allowed Bagration to strengthen the Smolensk interception
The chance of a surprise attack on
the city failed
When the Russian army
began to withdraw Napoleon showed
an uncharacteristic
lack of urgency
Even stopping the army to hold a
party to celebrate
his 43rd birthday
When the main attack at Smolensk began two
days later Napoleon chose
to advance and attack
150 French guns destroyed
the city when three
French armies attacked their traditional architecture
Russia was brave in
resisting but Barclay feared
being surrounded and
ordered a retreat again
When Smolensk was in flames
the Russian army began to delay
It was when the French
were fighting their way
into the city that great destruction occurred
The second army of Bagration withdrew
first The army of
Barclay was caught in
Valutino by Ney's third
army General Junot
commanding the eighth
army in West Africa
The order canceled Barclay's
withdrawal But he
crossed the river he
could do nothing and he lost his
chance An angry
Napoleon announced Junot
He will never win the
battle of his command
The Smolensk War caused nearly 100 000 deaths on both sides and destroyed one of Russia's most historically and spiritually significant cities yet it resolved everything
After failing to defeat the Russians at Smolensk Napoleon once again halted to reconsider his options
His soldiers were tired far from home and it was late in the election season
He considered spending the Russian winter in Smolensk and ended the campaign in 1813 but now he was only 230 kilometers from Moscow
A century ago the great Peter moved the capital of Russia to Saint Petersburg but Moscow retained its historic and spiritual heart a prize that Russians would fight for
Napoleon who had always been a robber decided to continue forward
The Russians faced their own dilemma
That summer Emperor Alexander experienced a religious revival and addressed the Russian people who were defending the nation
The war against Napoleon was a war to save the Mother of God Russia from the forces of opposition
Several months later the emperor received conflicting advice on whether to stand and fight or retreat
Now he has decided that change is needed
The cautious president Barkley maintained his duties but the emperor called on President Mckayl Kutosov to lead the entire Russian army
Kutuzov was defeated by Napoleon seven years before Austerlitz
But he had won several victories for the European Empire and was a true Russian beloved by the army
Although Kutuzov agreed with Barclay's strategy of delay he saw that the
continuous retreat was undermining the confidence of the soldiers and the nation
If Moscow were abandoned the collapse could be very severe
Therefore 70 kilometers west of the city near the village of Brudino Russian forces are preparing to rise
Europe was about to witness the darkest day of the Napoleonic Wars
