Description

Three of the ruler who found misfortune when invade Russia. And their failure on the decisive battle led to their downfall. The first was King Charles XII of Sweden with the battle of Poltava against Tsar Peter the Great in 1709. Charles eventually killed in the battle in Norway in 1718 and the Swedish Empire came to an end.
The second was Emperor Napoleon I of France with the battle Borodino (I guess) in 1812. Although he manage to occupy Moscow, he’s forced to withdraw the city when the “general” winter came. He eventually defeated twice in Leipzig in 1814 and Waterloo in 1815 and banished in St Helena. The empire of France met the same fate with the Swedes one (although the empire would be revived later by Napoleon’s nephew).
The last one was chancellor Adolf Hitler of German Nazi who was halted on the way for Moscow in operation typhoon in 1941. After that, winter had came and the wehrmacht couldn’t attack Moscow again and was forced to defend the position by Hitler. Without proper clothing and equipment, the “osten soldaten” died where they stand reminiscent with Napoleon’s “le grande armee”. Finally Hitler took his own life in Berlin in 1945 when the Red Army invade the city. The “dritte reich” finally collapse.
Compared with the last two ruler, Charles was less known by the usual people. Both Napoleon and Hitler didn’t took any precaution to stock the winter clothing for their troops. Charles was almost the same, he doesn’t took any step to pull back to Sweden when Peter’s policy of scorch earth took the toll for the Swedish army.
The unique thing is the misfortune happen every century. Was the last two ruler not study Charles’s failure?
So is there anyone who dare to invade Russia in the 21st century? :D

Oh I forgot to add 1 text again it’s “1 same mistake”.

Why shipped Napoleon with Hitler does not make sense
