In the invasion of Russia, Napoleon brought 440,000 troops to moscow, and they went there to try and take over this capitol. When they got there, they only found a burning city. Everything was burning including crops and anything valuable that they wanted. This made them have to leave because the majority of them were dying because there wasn't any food. The cold weather also killed many of them. Napoleon didn't see a reason in continuing his conquering in Russia, if they were already heavily hurt, and everything was burning.
The reason why Napoleon in the first place decided to invade Russia, was because Russia didn't aid the French in the French and Austrian war, even though they had been allies for a very long time.
