The 1812 invasion of Russia. The French arrive at Moscow only to find the place deserted, everyone who was anyone had gone to St Petersburg. The French left it too late to march back to Poland before the winter snow. Ill equipped for the terrible conditions the French perish, harrassed by cossacks & attacked at river crossings. Having said that, at the other end of the continent & without Napoleons presence the 'Spanish ulcer' was hurting terribly as Wellington began to move towards France. But the Russian campaign cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of men & leads to abject defeat at Leipzig in 1813. there is a brief resurgence of the great man in 1814, but it is all too little too late. Finally it all ends at Waterloo.
