🚩 On June 24th, 1812, the French Emperor Napoleon led 450 thousand men across the Niemen River into Russia, beginning one of the most notorious military disasters in history. Throughout this 6-month campaign, both French and Russian commanders would struggle with forces far greater than any army: politics, logistics and of course, nature.
