Napoleon Took Moscow – Why He Didn’t Win The War

Napoleon’s Army marches on and reaches Moscow

After the Battle of Borodino, both sides are badly mauled. Napoleon’s Army marches on and reaches Moscow, the old Russian capital. In the Emperor’s eyes, capturing the city should win him the war. But while the local Russians set fire to the city, the Tsar in St. Petersburg and the Russian Army command are thinking about turning the tide of the war – and not about accepting a French victory.
