This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred, profoundly stirred stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog.
- Napoleon Bonaparte, on finding a dog beside the body of his dead master, licking his face and howling, on a moonlit field after a battle.
He was haunted by this scene until his own death.

It's crazy how recent this was, we literally have photographs of veterans who fought in the battle of WATERLOO. We are as close to those men that fought in WW1 as they were to those who fought in the Napoleonic Wars, some of them might have even met their grandfathers who were there. So close yet so far.

Military arrogance led the Grande Armee to destruction. Poor hygiene, food and water led to catastrophic losses to disease as has always happened until proper military health care arrived with the Crimean War.

I am really fascinated by these videos and in this case would love to know why England and any allies did not invade France and cut off any retreat and pretty much destroy the whole French army?

I may be wrong, but I have never heard of a war that took the estimated time, or less. Wars take on a life of their own, and do not respect our plans.

Moral of the story. Napoleon is a failure in history. We must learn fr his mistakes of miscalculations, logistics, geo environment, weather etc.

Almost after 200 years the European with the Americas came back again to fight Moscow! The result is obvious n history is repeating itself.

2 reasons why he wasn't successful. His Marshals weren't as determined as he was and the Tsar was.
