Episode Description from the Publisher

Today we are going to see how and why Napoleon reached Moscow so easily But, here's the question. Would he be able to do the second of the two things he wanted to do and force Alexander to the negotiating table and get him to surrender? We’ll also be making short visits to Iberia and the Caucasus, and then for no other reason than I think it’s interesting and it puts things into context in terms of events happening on the global stage, we’ll cover a couple of slight diversions that had taken place over in the UK and the USA, which would involve an assasination and the start of yet another war.If you have any comments, questions or suggestions then you can send them across to me via good old-fashioned email -nordicworld@outlook.com Hosted on Acast.
