Question

What was the role of physical geography in Napoleon's first significant defeat?

Solution

Verified

Napoleon's first major defeat was in Russia. Geography was important because Russia is such a vast country and his troops had to travel incredible distances to fight. As they traveled through the cold Russian country, many of the soldiers died because they had no shelter and no warmth. This significant loss of life meant Napoleon had to retreat and suffer his first major defeat.
