	Battle of Borodino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A huge panorama representing the battle was painted by Franz Roubaud for the centenary of Borodino and installed on the Poklonnaya Hill to mark the 150th anniversary of the event.
		The Battle of Borodino (Russian: Бородино) (September 7, 1812, or August 26 in the Julian calendar then used in Russia), also called the Battle of the Moskva, was the largest and bloodiest single-day battle of the Napoleonic Wars, involving nearly a quarter of a million soldiers.
		The battle was likely the bloodiest single day of the Napoleonic Wars and one of the bloodiest in modern times, perhaps not exceeded by the First Day on the Somme in 1916 or any of the three days of the Third Battle of Nanking in 1864.

		It included the battles of Smolensk, Borodino, Lützen, Dresden and the epic Battle of Nations - the largest of the Napoleonic wars, and indeed the largest battle in Western history up until the First World War.
		With their armies reorganized along more Napoleonic lines, they defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig in Saxony in October 1813, and mounted a successful invasion of France in 1814, forcing Napoleon to abdicate and restoring the House of Bourbon.
		The final stage of the campaign, the defence of France, saw the Emperor temporarily return to his former talent as he fought off immensely numerically superior armies in the Six Days Campaign, which many say was the best campaign of his entire career.
