In 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia with the largest army Europe had ever seen, comprising troops from France, as well as Poland, Germany, Italy, and several other allied nations. The ensuing campaign saw the Russians employ scorched earth tactics to deny supplies to the enemy, while Napoleon pushed further and further into Russia, vainly seeking a decisive blow that would force Emperor Alexander to negotiate for peace. Even after winning a costly victory at Borodino and occupying Moscow, Napoleon's invitation to negotiate fell on deaf ears. Napoleon found himself 500 miles from friendly territory, outnumbered, poorly supplied, and with winter approaching. What followed was one of the most terrible and disastrous events in military history, the retreat from Moscow, in which Russian attacks, frost, and starvation virtually destroyed the once-proud Grande Armée.
