anyways. The Grand Army had more than 600,000 people walk into

Russia. The Russians didn’t want to battle so they burned down

their own village to keep the army from finding food. After Napoleon found the remains of the burnt down

village, they were forced to retreat. Of the 600,000 that left only 40,000 returned back to

Poland. Napoleon was sent to exile in Elba when he returned. Louis XIV was named king once the king was executed.

Disaster in Russia

Napoleon was not ready to give up on the glory of empire so… He left the island Elba and went back to France. He convinced the people of France that he was their true

Emperor. Russia, Great Britain, Austria, and Persia were worried that

Napoleon would defeat them so, they pledged to defeat “The Enemy and Disturber of the Tranquility of the world” again.

Napoleon raised another army and attacked at Belgium where he met a combined army of Britain and Persia under the control of the Duke of Wellington in June 18, 1815.
