The French Revolution Begins

Question 5 • SS221 World History/Geography A

How did his defeat in Russia change Napoleon’s fortunes?

Answer
A
When Napoleon lost, the French surrendered to the Russians.
B
Because he was captured outside Moscow, he was sent into exile.
C
In addition to losing many of his troops, his empire turned against him.
D
After he put his brother on the throne, the Russian people rose against him.

Explanation

Napoleon’s invasion of Russia ended in a disastrous retreat, and he lost much of his army. The defeat weakened his power and encouraged other countries and peoples under French control to turn against his empire. Choice C correctly describes both consequences; he was not captured in Russia, and his brother’s rule was not the cause of the Russian campaign’s failure.
