Which two factors played an important role in stopping Napoleon from conquering Russia?

Sagot :

the correct answer is going to be C.

First, let's take a walk-through.

So, What factors helped the Russians defeat Napoleon and his army?

  1. Poor roads caused supply wagons to move more slowly, which required the French army to slow down their chase of the Russian army.
  2. The typhus outbreak and excruciating summer heat took a tremendous toll on Napoleon's youthful conscripts.
  3. The cossacks were independent, proud, and excellent horsemen who often caused problems for the French army by attacking convoys and patrols and making forage extremely difficult.
  4. During the tragic retreat from Moscow in November, the terrible winter cold, for which few soldiers were equipped and which caused many men to freeze over night.
  5. The fact that Napoleon's army was so large that generals De Tolly and Bagration were forced to retire continuously caused Napoleon to advance further into Russian territory and away from his supply lines.
  6. Due to a scarcity of supplies brought on by the Russian army's "scorched earth" strategy and the constant marching, both troops and horses perished from malnutrition and weariness.
  7. Napoleon's refusal to send the Imperial Guard to Borodino prevented him from striking a decisive blow that would have eliminated the Russian army from the battle and forced Tsar Alexander to accept peace;
  8. Napoleon's choice to overstay in Moscow after waiting for Tsar Alexander to respond to his offer of peace, which never arrived.
  9. Napoleon was startled by the Russians' tenacity and stubbornness even before the battle of Shevardino, when he saw how few Russian captives had been captured.
  10. Overall, it was a catastrophic concoction of strategic errors, overconfidence, and inaccurate assessments of the Russian response.

So, regarding what two factors stopped Napoleon from conquering Russia: Greater casualties were caused by guerrilla fighting by Russian peasants and Cossacks, a lack of winter clothing and food for the infantry, as well as a lack of horse fodder.
