Question

Which among the following was not the reason for Napoleon's unsuccessful conquest of Russia?

• A. Destruction of Moscow's infrastructure by Russian troops
• B. The alliance between Russia, Britain, Prussia, and Austria
• C. Harsh weather conditions
• D. Russia's alliance with Japan

Answer 1

The correct option is D Russia's alliance with Japan

Despite Napoleon's well prepared military force, he failed to conquer Russia. The Russian troops had deserted the city after they destroyed the Moscow's critical infrasructure. Napolean's troops were stranded in the city. The miscalculation of weather and harsh weather conditions left Napoleon with only 10,000 men. The alliance between Russia, Britain, Prussia, and Austria left Napoleon corned. Thus, he renounced his throne and was exiled to the island of Elba.
