Today in world history honors with Mr. Adams we learned about Napolean. We learned tha Napolean was an incredibly great military leader. Even though he was short. We learned that what ultimatly led to his demise was his decision to try to invade Russia and conquer that country. I kind of find that strange that thats exactly what led to Hitlers demise as well. But luckily Hitler didn't read his history books about Napolean. So anyways Napolean had the support of the whole French government and his soldiers trusted him with their lives. Like more then just regular soldiers. They were extremely committed to being with Napolean forever and come with him and fight for any of his conquests.
But ultimatly all great things come to an end and great leaders too. What ultimatly killed Napoleans army wasn't Russia army itself but the incredibly harsh winter, as well as Russias Governments dicision to lure Napoleans army into Moscow and burn the city, as well as take all the food and such, which ultimatly made Napolean retreat, which he should have done sooner but his pride wouldn't let him. Oh yeah Napolean was really stubborn as well if you couldnt tell. So we learned this and a little bit more about Napolean in World History. It was a pretty cool section I hope you enjoyed reading this.
