	Napoleon I of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Napoleon was wholly ignorant of nautical matters, his orders to his admirals were often contradictory or useless, and the fleet of rafts he had prepared would have sunk in the Channel, or taken at least three days to transport his army, even if the crossing were unopposed.
		Napoleon was finally defeated by the Duke of Wellington and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher at Waterloo in present-day Belgium on 18 June 1815.
		Napoleon was imprisoned and then exiled by the British to the island of Saint Helena (2,800 km off the Bight of Guinea in the South Atlantic Ocean) from 15 October 1815.

	Strategy - LoveToKnow 1911
		That after the event Napoleon should have sought to justify himself is further proof of the essential duality of his nature, which only rose to intuitive genius in war under the pressure of visible and tangible realities.
		The case of the French invasion of Russia in 1812 is an illustration.
		The Napoleonic strategy, a s we have shown, depended primarily on the certainty of decision conferred on him by his " case-shot attack "; but the introduction of the long-range infantry rifle (muzzle-loader) rendered it practically impossible to bring the masses of artillery to the close ranges required by the Napoleonic method.

	Continental System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Napoleon lacked the resources to attempt an invasion of the United Kingdom or to defeat the Royal Navy at sea.
		After the Treaty of Tilsit of July 1807, Napoleon attempted to capture the Portuguese Fleet and the House of Braganza, to occupy the Portuguese ports and to expel the British from Portuguese soil, and failed.
		Russia in particular chafed under the embargo, and in 1812, that country reopened trade with the United Kingdom.

		To this day, Russia is a vast collection of different groups of people of nearly any religion or ethnic group you care to name, but the Russian government and the part of the Russian people that interact with the west is and has been the Slavs.
		Russia has killed somewhere between 30,000 and 80,000 Chechens in the last five years, and by some definitions the Chechens could be considered freedom fighters.
		Russia would collapse economically without Western aid at the moment so we have become allies in a way, but both Russia and the U.S. are maneuvering to try to control Central Asia.

		Nor should this work be read by the faint-hearted, given some of the rather gory and explicit details of a rather savage chapter in the history of warfare.
		Although the account starts with the invasion in June 1812 and covers the battles of Smolensk and Borodino, the most gripping part of Austin's work is the last 400 pages on the retreat from Moscow.
		Napoleon did not allow "imbeciles" to command for 20 years and thus, Griois' account is probably a case of axe grinding against a former superior.

	Russian Army Organization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-21)
		Many armies in the Napoleonic period were experiencing organization and tactical changes partly brought on by the wiles of the Corsican.
		At the peak of the 1812 invasion the Russians began to strip any and all usable formations, usually the grenadiers, out of these depots lumping them into "converged" battalions or regiments of the sort found in the actual order of battle on the eve of Borodino.
		The Russian on the defensive, protecting his motherland, was an awesome force and capable of inflicting and accepting horrendous casualties as Napoleon soon discovered to his embarrassment at Eylau, Friedland and the 1812 Invasion of Russia and it's pivotal battle of Borodino.

	Joachim Murat
		The expeditions strategic goal was to threaten Britain's rich holdings in India (Most were taken from France during the Seven Years War—French and Indian Wars.) but the overall effort died a premature end for lack of logistical support with the defeat of the French Fleet due to British sea power (See: Battle of the Nile).
		After the sea battle, Napoleon led his troops toward France by land (via Palestine and thence Ottoman Turkey), but was recalled by the Directory (at least in part) as the Directory feared an invasion by Britain.
		Murat was equally useful in Napoleon's invasion of Russia (1812), and in the Battle of Leipzig (1813).

		In the Patriotic War of 1812, Napoleon's strategy was to force a strategic trap, force a major battle on ground and timing of his own choosing, and gain a resounding victory like Austerlitz, Jena or a devastating coup like Ulm.
		Napoleon only advanced another 50 miles after the battle as he could not replace losses suffered in the meat grinder of Borodino and the Russians could.
		Further, after this epic failure Napoleon was in a continual defensive mode, eventually being driven back into France and forced ultimately to abdicate.

	Glossary of Terms: Gu
		While guerrilla fighting may resemble the form of some "barabarian hordes", their content is very different – the guerrilla fighter is someone who is organized and pursues a particular political objective, and who is fighting a defensive war.
		In 1812, during Napoleon's failed conquest and retreat from Russia, Russian peasant guerrillas combined with mounted Cossacks to continually harass, demoralize and inflict tens of thousands of additional casualties.
		One aspect of the Partisan struggle was the formation of "Prolaterian Shock Brigades", made up of the most politically advanced workers, members of the Yugoslav Communist Party, often from the same factory, who acted as shock-troops for the revolution, taking on the most difficult tasks or attacking the most fortified Nazi positions.
