Flint and steel💔🧯 (It was Steve who initiated the fire of Moscow back in 1812, I knew it💔) . Context: In the summer of 1812 Napoleonic troops invad3d Russian Empire. On the 7th of September the battle of Borodino was fought. On the 8th of September Russian troops retreated and French army begun advancing towards Moscow. Later it was decided by the Russian Council at Fili to abandon Moscow without a fight. So the Russian troops continued retreating, most of the Moscow supplies were destroyed and locals left the city. Napoleon was quite mad and shocked at the fact that Moscow was abandoned. But it was the least of his problems, as on the evening of September 14th the first fire broke out in Moscow. During the next days fire was expanding rapidly because of the strong winds and flammable houses made out of wood. Napoleon had to leave Kremlin for a day and returned only after the fire stopped. Historians don’t know for sure who’s at fault for the fire of Moscow. Some say it was Russian Count Rostopchin who gave out an order to set the Moscow on fire, some say it was all Kutuzov’s plan, others believe that Napoleonic troops were at fault for this. There is also a version which states that it was an expected turn of events and no one was to blame for firing the city on purpose. What’s interesting though, is that we also have some info about the cases when people were being accused of firing up the city, they were supposedly punished by the Napoleonic army for that. . . . #history #HistoryTime #historymemes #historytok #historyfacts #cosplay #napoleonbonaparte #napoleon #napoleonicwars #napoleonicmemes #tsaralexander1 #alexander1 #romanovs #russianempire #frenchempire #murat #joachimmurat #naples #neapolitan #kingofnaples #frenchhistory #france #borodino #continentalblockade #war #Minecraft #minecraftmovie #flintandsteel #chickenjockey #jackblack #1812 #tchaikovsky #pourtoi #vivelempereur #histoiredefrance #histoire #recommendations #brainrot #funny #moscow #fyp #ts #getviral #iloveminecraft #история #историческиемемы #москва #наполеонбонапарт #наполеоновскиевойны #российскаяимперия #александр1 #романовы #царь #мюрат #рекомендации #богвійнисеменпалій - @kaiservoncringe
