Question 3 • FL-2109310-World History Sem 1 - Flex

Why was Russia’s defeat of France the turning point in the Napoleonic Wars?

Answer
A
Napoleon’s empire turned against him.
B
Napoleon escaped to America for safety.
C
The people of France no longer supported Napoleon.
D
The French army was reinvigorated.

Explanation

Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 ended in disaster, with his army suffering enormous losses during the retreat. This weakened France and encouraged other European powers to unite against him, turning former allies and territories against his empire. Therefore, the turning point was that Napoleon’s empire turned against him; he did not escape to America.
