These day we commemorate the conclusion of the main leg of the Napoleonic Wars: it ended with the triumph of the Russian and allied forces who repelled Napoleon all the way back to France. On March 31, 1814, Russian army led by Emperor Alexander I triumphantly entered Paris. Russia’s goal was to expel the French troops from the countries they had invaded, deprive Napoleon of the opportunity to use their resources, complete the defeat of the aggressor on his own territory and ensure the establishment of a lasting peace in Europe. The Russian forces seized the French capital, thus winning the final battle of its 1813-1814 foreign campaign. After the fall of Paris Napoleon abdicated the throne. On May 30, 1814 the Treaty of Paris was signed between the members of the Anti-Napaleonic coalition and France. The Patriotic War was over: Germany was liberated and France was restored to its borders of 1792. ️ Russia made the main contribution to the defeat of Napoleon. © Russian Military Hi...
