Detailed explanation-1: -The desperate Russians, however, adopted a “scorched-earth” policy: whenever they retreated, they burned the places they left behind. Napoleon’s army had trouble finding supplies, and it grew progressively weaker the farther it marched.
Detailed explanation-2: -Several critical factors, most significantly the insufficient access to resources, unfamiliar, freezing terrain, and the strategic efforts of the French military leaders, influenced the defeat of Napoleon by the Russians in 1812.
Detailed explanation-3: -Napoleon was decisively defeated at Waterloo, and he abdicated again on 22 June. On 15 July, he surrendered to the British at Rochefort, and was permanently exiled to remote Saint Helena. The Treaty of Paris, signed on 20 November 1815, formally ended the war.
