Detailed explanation-1: -French invasion of Russia, invasion of Russia by Napoleon I’s Grande Armée from October to December in 1812. The French army was forced to retreat after Russian forces refused to engage in battle with them, which resulted in the deaths of more than 400, 000 French soldiers, the vast majority from cold and starvation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most well known feature of the Russian climate is its very cold winter, brought about by the country’s high latitudes (40-75°N), vast land mass and lack of any topographic obstructions to protect it from arctic winds sweeping across its long, north-facing and often frozen coastline.
Detailed explanation-3: -Economically, widespread inflation and food shortages in Russia contributed to the revolution. Militarily, inadequate supplies, logistics, and weaponry led to heavy losses that the Russians suffered during World War I; this further weakened Russia’s view of Nicholas II. They viewed him as weak and unfit to rule.
