    What tactics did the Russians use to defeat Napoleon's Army?

    • Engaged the French openly in battle and defeated them.

    • Russians retreated, burned supplies and land, and waited for Winter to finish off the French

    • Used their superior numbers to defeat the French.

    • They used their navy to invade France.

    Correct Answer
    A. Russians retreated, burned supplies and land, and waited for Winter to finish off the French
    Explanation
    During Napoleon's invasion of Russia, the Russians employed a strategic tactic to defeat the French. Instead of engaging in direct battles, they chose to retreat, burning their own supplies and land as they withdrew. This scorched earth policy aimed to deprive the invading French army of resources and weaken their position. Additionally, the Russians strategically waited for the harsh Russian winter to set in. The extreme weather conditions, combined with the lack of supplies, proved disastrous for the French army, ultimately leading to their defeat.

    At the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon:

    • Won and went on to create his Empire.

    • Was defeated, but remained Emperor of France.

    • Fell off his horse and broke his leg.

    • Was defeated by Wellington and was sent into permanent exile.

    Correct Answer
    A. Was defeated by Wellington and was sent into permanent exile.
    Explanation
    Napoleon was defeated by Wellington at the battle of Waterloo and was sent into permanent exile. This means that he did not win the battle and was not able to create his Empire. Furthermore, the option stating that he remained Emperor of France is also incorrect as he was defeated and forced into exile. The option mentioning him falling off his horse and breaking his leg is irrelevant to the outcome of the battle and his subsequent exile.
