Detailed explanation-1: -Beginning in 1812, Napoleon began to encounter the first significant defeats of his military career, suffering through a disastrous invasion of Russia, losing Spain to the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula War, and enduring total defeat against an allied force by 1814.
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: -Arguably, Britain’s role in the Continental Blockade was the main reason for why Napoleon fell from power, offsetting consequences which include Napoleon’s failed Spanish and Russian campaigns. The Continental Blockade was an attempt made by Napoleon in order to suffocate the British economy.
