Beautiful french victory !

If to watch at this battle from a tactic view, ofcourse french troops won that battle - they taked all russian positions. But if to look at this from stategical point, Napoleon throw all his power and resources to destroy russian army - but he was can't do it. So, after Borodino french army got a deadly wound and slow began to duying, from every day number of french soliers was smaller.
P.S yes, my english is crap.

Napoleon entered Russia in the head about 900 000 men, the biggest army of every time!
This army was too compact and very hard to make maneuver (except for for napoleon). Napoleon did not look even any more for the strategy, he sent this mass to head-on attack, anyway he knew that he was victorious even if he underwent colossal losses.... We distinguish military engineering of napoleon that when he has a small army against an opponent three times as numerous too my English is crap^^

It wasn't 900 000, but 600 000 French soldiers commanded by Napoléon, who invaded Russia in 1812 ( Because of the break of the Treaty of Tilsit by the Czar). It's rigth that for every people at t he moment, it was the biggest army ever seen in human history . For the rest of your comment, it's just, the Russian territory was too important: the classical Napoléon's maneuvrers became impracticable.

noone won this battle
