  1. It was Tolly, Kutuzov, Tsar Alexander and Napoleon's own folly who defeated Napoleon. Many others helped but these really broke the back of the French army in the long run. Many others helped, notably Wellington in Spain, Blucher in Prussia, Napoleon's turncoat marshal Bernaddotte in Sweden, and, yes, Schwarzenberg in Austria (very important in 1812), but the turning point was really the disasterous Russian campaign. Wellington fought Napoleon to a standstill at Waterloo with the Prussians under Blucher turning it into a decisive rout. The first Austrian general to pull a major victory against Napoleon was Archduke Charles at Aspern-Essling. Napoleon's first major defeat was the disastrous Egyptian campaign.

  2. ​​ @jarogniewtheconqueror2804 In Egypt Napoleon won some battles but lost the entire army and navy he took to Egypt for no strategic gain and therefore the campaign on the whole. If that is no disaster I don't know what is. It does not matter if you lost your army to disease, starvation, elements or in battle. You lost it... What's your excuse for Napoleon? That he FLED before the endgame when he saw the writing on the wall? Come on!
