What were the features of the Russian-French war of 1812.

The war with France in 1812 was victorious for Russia. Its feature was the actions of the Russian people. Initially, the war did not go according to the scenario of Alexander 1. Napoleon, instead of dividing the army into three directions, chose one and immediately went to Moscow. This complicated the hostilities. For a long time the Russian army had to retreat and suffer losses. In August, the two armies united. Significantly, the key blow was struck at the end, after the burning of Moscow and the retreat of the Russians along the Kaluga road.
