Original video:    • Napoleonic Wars: Napoleon Invades Russia 1812   Please head over to Epic History and show them some appreciation for the hard work they put into this series! Today we continue the Napoleonic Wars with one of the most infamous campaigns in military history: Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812. This episode covers the lead-up to the invasion, the early advance, and the warning signs that things are already going very wrong—long before winter arrives. What I react to in this episode Why relations between Napoleon and Alexander I completely break down The creation and limits of the Continental System The sheer size and complexity of the Grande Armée Problems with multinational forces, supply lines, and command Russian strategy: retreat, scorched earth, and delay Disease, exhaustion, and attrition before major battles even begin The growing role of Cossacks and partisan warfare Napoleon’s repeated decision to push forward despite mounting losses Quick recap (spoiler-friendly) Napoleon invades Russia expecting a short campaign Russian armies refuse decisive battle and retreat deeper inland Supply systems begin collapsing almost immediately Attrition, disease, and cavalry losses mount at an alarming pace By Smolensk, the warning signs are impossible to ignore The campaign edges toward a massive gamble: Moscow This episode sets the stage for what comes next—the brutal fighting at Borodino and the catastrophe that follows.
