#FrenchInvasionOfRussia
The #FrenchInvasionOfRussia ended #ThisDayInHistory in 1812. #Napoléon assembled a 600,000+ #GrandeArmée, the largest army in Europe to that point, but only 120,000 escaped #Russia, with most dying due to extreme weather and disease. Moscow was the the French Empire's graveyard.
